The Foodie Blogroll and Marx Foods teamed up and sent a sample of Dulse Seaweed, Fennel Pollen, Bourbon Vanilla Beans, Maple Sugar, Dried Porcini Mushrooms, Tellicherry Peppercorns, Smoked Salt and Aji Panca Chilies to each of the 25 Iron Foodie Challengers. Each blogger’s task was to create an original recipe incorporating at least 3 of the 8 ingredients. As you’ll see below, the Iron Foodie Challengers delivered!
