Orange Blossom Water

Well, well people, only a year and a bit later and i've managed to retrack my passwords and hack into my blog account.  A lot has changed, (not my lack of blogging though) and I now have an 8 month old competing for my time.

It's been a great year but a busy year and there's lots of eating related stories that I should have documented.  Onwards and upwards though and now i'm back on it.

Inspired by Mr Ottolenghi himself, I tried using Orange Blossom Water in last nights dinner.  It scares me a little, super potent and I was kind of worried about over doing it.  Just a couple of drops in the boiled water for the coucous with soaked sultanas, green pitted olives, flat leaf parsley, lemon juice, salt and pepper and you know what?  It was okay, it must be, i'm eating the rest it for my lunch as we speak.  You can only just taste it but I think that's probably a good thing.  Next, on to desserts I think!
