Spices like Ginger & Cumin can add a velvety tangy taste

to any winter warming meal you are preparing or thinking about making. Cumin of

course is a natural partner to Chilli, but have you thought about marrying it

with some Lemon Grass ?

Ginger, a natural strong flavour, freshly chopped or grated

added to a dish or even a salad dressing adds another dimension to your palette

experience. Also a good cold remedy ! Cuts right through your sinus problems.

Making a light stew is a flavoursome alternative to heavy

& stodgy one's. Think of Thai food & go from there. Sweet & Sour

dishes from the orient & South East Asia can be a mouth tantalising

experience. Using pure Chicken Stock or even a great Vegetable Stock leaving it

unthickened and letting all the other ingredients help flavour your dish. Don't

add Potatoes, they will cloud up the dish but to give you a different texture

& you want that crunch, add some oven baked croutons.

Adding vegetables like Carrots, Leeks & what is good at

the moment is Purple Sprouting Broccoli, these can add eye catching colour to

enhance your heart warming, sole nourishing dinner.
