Spice Girl

My collection of herbs and spices is growing by the day, today I added ground cumin, ground coriander and cinnamon sticks to my selection. Due to their ascending rank of importance I have today allocated them their very own cupboard so that I can display them in all their glory.

Today's recipe du jour was again very well received. After slight trepidation over the word 'spice' in the title I decided to go for 'Lemon-spiced Chicken with Chickpeas' which doesn't sound like the most exciting meals, but throw in the above mentioned spices, the zest and juice of a lemon, an onion and a bag of spinach and you are presented with a tangy infusion of flavours and aromas.

Surprisingly the children enjoyed it as much as we did, most likely due to the fruity taste. All in all it was a great family meal, one that will definitely be added to the food fixtures list!

Exciting news to end .... my Magimix has arrived and I am collecting it tomorrow, is it normal to be this excited about an electrical appliance?
