Are you a FarmVille fan? I have some exciting news. Zynga has released FarmVille 2: Country Escape, a mobile game that celebrates fresh, home-cooked food with in-game recipes. What makes this especially fun is that players can submit their own recipes, and Zynga is compiling selected dishes into the first-ever FarmVille to Table cookbook.
Zynga’s culinary team will evaluate, test, prepare, and photograph the top submissions for inclusion in the cookbook. With tens of millions of monthly players and hundreds of millions overall who have played FarmVille, a featured recipe could reach a huge audience. Your dish might even appear next to my Strawberry Balsamic Thyme Freezer Jam.
I picked this jam because it’s the only strawberry jam I make. It’s easy, but more importantly it’s incredibly flavorful — a true summer punch in a jar. The balsamic and thyme don’t dominate; instead they lift the strawberry and create a bright, fresh perfume that takes you back to warm days. Pull a jar from the freezer in winter and the aroma and flavor will transport you straight to strawberry season. I wouldn’t be without it.
