I was asked by Jack from Redacted recipes  and by Equal opportunity kitchen to reveal five things about myself.

Nothing comes close to a good, unflavoured, dark roasted, full bodied coffee. I may only have one or two cups a day, but it must be the best.

The best snack is a simple tomato sandwich; fresh bread, a knob of butter, thick slices of tomato, salt and pepper…and a healthy appetite.

Fresh salt is my weak spot. I have at least 5 different kinds in my pantry, always. A good grey sea salt for pasta, kosher salt for more delicate cooking, fleur de sel for my tomato sandwiches, Maldon saltflakes for fish, some salt crystals for meats and rose coloured Himalayan rocksalt to grind over salads….

I become a vegetarian at least once a year….for almost a week long.

I prefer salty foods to sugary ones. Actually it is the other way round I think. No, I’m sure, salty foods. No..o.. let me just think a bit more…..have to finish my ice cream first, it’s melting….

I now on my turn, ask the following five people to reveal five things about themselves:

  5. Ronnell you are definitely a woman after my own heart. I’m with you on all of that although coffee x far more than two cups a day. Salt, not quite reached your levels of connoisseurship yet but working on it. Tomato sandwiches – sometimes i just slice the tomato, add some basil from my window pot, throw a bit of Maldon salt on it, and a bit over my shoulder, and eat it dripping over the sink whilst I contemplate my beautiful view
