2013 has been quite a year.

As many have celebrated victories, grappled with political instability or coped with natural disasters, we have been fortunate to have had a relatively peaceful year. Looking back, I’ve had the good fortune to share experiences and traditions, as well as recipes we use as enjoyment, as comfort and as celebration.

This year, you enjoyed both sweet and savoury tastes, both new and traditional foods. These were your favourite recipes this year – EmmaEats’ top 10 recipes in 2013:
