So very exciting that hubby is letting you shop for more kitchen bits, I hate cooking without the right equipment. Are you buying online or in the shops? OOOH if you really have cash to splash, get a set of Global Knives, they are the best and soooo worth the money.
Have any of you watched the new 30 min programme on BBC2 at 8:30 by Levi Roots about Carribean cooking??? If not ladies, watch it, catch up on the iPlayer!! Totally amazing, has opened up my eyes to loads of new flavours and cooking styles. The basis of the cooking is really very healthy. I am sooooo excited at the thought of cooking some of it. They make a lot of use of yam and sweet potato which from what I understand are good carbs. He does use some coconut milk, but I think the amounts could be reduced or you could use the light coconut milk to make it a little healthy. It is otherwise, very fresh, loads of veg and very little fat in the cooking process. Oooh I am so inspired. He has a "sunshine kit" which is his basic collection of herbs and spices for carribean foods and damnit in winter I want a sunshine kit to cheer me up
He also uses loads of fresh salsas which should appeal to you BL.
Anyway was so excited about it all that I had to share, watch it if you can.
