Kalyn’s spicy roast chickpeas

February 17, 2009

  Those of you who have read my first column for Food24 will know that Valentine's Day is probably not my most hotly anticipated holiday of the year. OK, it probably does have something to do with the fact that 20 years ago I was unceremoniously dumped by my boyfriend on V-Day…  We had been having some [...]

WTSIM – the sweet vs. savoury roundup

February 9, 2009

It's funny how different people are.  For me, the Daring Bakers challenges are terrifying to the point of paralysis. Even BYOB makes my chest tighten.  But for loads of my fellow-food bloggers, these are a walk in the park.  On the other hand, when I selected this month's Waiter, There's Something in My… theme of sweet/savoury swap, I [...]
