TwEATs! Twitter Meets Dinner in our River Cottage Cook-along
If you’d like to spice up a dull Monday evening by cooking dinner with a top River Cottage chef, and thousands of online friends, then this is your chance. Landshare and River Cottage have teamed up with our friends at NVA and Central Station for a live Twitter cook-along – twEAts.
We'll give you a shopping list of seasonal ingredients that you’ll need to make a mystery dish. Perhaps you can pick some from your Landshare plot. Then, on 16th August, Head Chef Tim Maddams will cook a River Cottage recipe from his base at the River Cottage Canteen and Deli in Axminster. 
Each stage of the recipe will be tweeted (with photos) as it happens. To create the dish at home, simply follow Tim’s tweets on the night step by step. If you catch every tweet and twitpic, you should have made your own delicious River Cottage meal.
So what will you be cooking? We're not revealing the final meal just yet, so that the cook-along is a bit of a surprise. We'll tell you the ingredients so you can get prepped for cooking a fantastic River Cottage recipe, and can tell you it will be vegetarian. There’ll be enough to feed a bunch of friends, so invite your pals round for a dinner with a difference.
The list of the ingredients that you’ll need is below. So get yourself prepped up, invite some friends round and Follow us on Twitter to take part. It'll be a fun night, see you in tweetland!
