Mexican food is one of mine & B’s favourites to whip up at home, and I think nachos are one of the best forms of Mexican food. Unfortunately they can also be rather unhealthy so I have been tinkering with ways to up the healthy factor without reducing the flavour and I think I’ve found a winner!
Is there anything better than mini versions of things, food included? I don’t think so, and these mini frittatas are no exception. Years ago when I was living in Amsterdam a friend and I made a whole set of mini things for some friends that had just moved to London – it’s amazing what you can find in miniature once you start looking! We had a mini table tennis set, mini cups and bowls and spoons, tiny cans of drink and all manner of other itty bitty things. It ended up being a rather large collection of very small things!
Cauliflower is one of those vegetables that always seems to be in the supermarket, but in fact it is as its finest in winter, so now that the colder months are upon us I thought I would celebrate this humble little veggie by sharing with you some of my favourite ways to cook it, from some of my favourite bloggers!
Ahh falafels. As a vegetarian I’ve eaten many a falafel in my time, and sadly many of them have been dry and unappealing. I’d been trying to think of something new to make for my work lunches and kept finding myself drawn to wraps and the like, so decided it was time to set aside my bad history of falafels and make some for myself!
Wontons (or dumplings) have been a firm favourite of mine for a very long time, and I have many a happy memory attached to them. Cheap nights of dumplings and wine with friends were a firm fixture of my early 20s, and whilst the dumplings then might not have been of the highest quality, we didn’t mind (that may have been due to the equally cheap wine!). I’ve also been lucky enough to eat dumplings in various parts of China, both when visiting my parents (they lived there in my early 20s for a few years) and on a study tour in my final year of uni.
