Happy New Year everyone!
Over 2010, I will explore and demystify one unusual ingredient each week, ranging from strange looking produce to exotic pantry items.
Each Sunday, ingredients will be introduced with a bit of background information, traditional uses (including links to recipes) and original recipes made up in my kitchen, complete with pictures, step-by-step instructions and tips.
If you have any requests, please leave a comment or send an email. I would love to see what you’re interested in!
