Yellow is the flavour of the month. The excellent Livestrong Event and now Zorra is also using Yellow as the inspirational colour for International Women’s Day Read about it here on her blog.
So as luck would have it I have been cooking a bit with yellow food and I can dedicate this post to the event.

Soup and bread, what more could you want? Excellent Gilli. Happy Intl Women's day to you too. I made 2 two food for both events, check FH!:)

Asha thanks for the bread recipe it was lovely
The bread looks amazing - having all those wonderful herb flavors inside the dough like that must make for a really nice flavor burst. And butternut squash soup is one of my favorite soups - great combo!
