It is time again for the “Secret recipe club” reveal! I am sure you all know what the club is about, but for the few of you who still don’t know about it, here goes a brief explanation. It is a great concept… each month you are assigned a participating food blogger to make a recipe from and in turn someone else will be assigned your blog. All you have to do is choose a recipe, make it and blog about it on the specified date. The only rule is to keep it a secret! If you are interested in learning more, or want to join the club, please visit the Secret recipe club website.
This month I was assigned Where is my Spoon? written by the amazingly talented Adina. Adina lives in Germany and she’s originally from Romania. I was super excited about being paired with another European blogger and I spent hours on her beautiful blog before deciding what to make. Her site is filled with so many familiar recipes and I know I will be back to try more of them, especially the Romanian and German ones. I picked her Spiced Potato Wedges with Easy Sweet Chilli Sauce because I love wedges and I still did not have a recipe for them on the blog! Besides, I was intrigued about trying my hands at making Sweet Chilli Sauce at home. You won’t believe how easy it is! They were delicious! You can serve them like this or add some sour cream too, if you like!  Enjoy!  And thank you Adina for such a great recipe!
