Eat little, sleep sound. |

“This root [the potato], no matter how much you prepare it, is tasteless and floury. It cannot pass for an agreeable food, but it supplies a food sufficiently abundant and sufficiently healthy for men who ask only to sustain themselves. The potato is criticised with reason for being windy, but what matters windiness for the vigorous organisims of peasants and labourers?” |

A superb way of cooking cauliflower, given to me by a Lebanese chef.
The florets are stir-fried with olive oil, garlic and lots of fresh
coriander, and the result is irresistible.
Cut the cauliflower into tiny florets. Heat the olive oil gently and
saut‚ the sliced garlic in it until soft, about 2-3 minutes. Turn the
heat up and stir-fry the cauliflower florets for a further 2-3
minutes, tossing so that they are well coated with the oil. Turn the
heat down, partially cover with a lid, and cook until soft, about 4
minutes. Stir in the chopped coriander, toss for 1 minute more, and
serve.
