A recipe for each of the 32 teams will need to be cooked and blogged between the 12th and 26th June 2014. Subsequent recipes for the teams that qualify from their groups will need to be cooked and blogged on the days when they are playing. I quite fancy a Brazil v. Spain final, but will we see Feijoda verses Fabada?

The draw for the 2014 World Cup World Challenge
The excitement is building. Not since the last time a large group of men in suits have sat around a room anxiously waiting for their name to be read out, have so many men in suits sat around a room anxiously waiting for their name to be read out. The draw for the 2014 FIFA World Cup Final takes place today!
But before all of the pomp and ceremony of the official draw, I have carried out a little low key version of events myself. The names of eight food bloggers have been put into a velvet bag* and a local celebrity** has pulled them out in front of a live audience***.
The draw concluded as follows:
Group A - Rebecca - Really Nice Food
Group B - Gary - Exploits of a Food Nut
Group C - Dan - Soup Tuesday
Group D - Rob - Occasional Drivel
Group E - Ewan (me) - Tonight's Menu
Group F - Steph - The Food I Eat
Group G - Lianne - Everything Goes With Toast
Group H - Steve - Food and Frets
Now we can join the besuited managers, players, sponsors and celebrities in anticipation of the draw live from Costa do Sauipe. Who will get Brazil? Who will get Bosnia-Hercegovina? Does anybody actually want to end up cooking English food? All of these questions and more will be answered in the next couple of hours.
