Fresh strawberries soaked in spiced syrup goodness... can be a dessert on its own, on top of an ice cream, next to a pancake or even a spread on your toast (minced version), so many ways to enjoy it.

Crunchy bite of an explosion of sweet and tangy flavour in your mouth, you will not want to miss.

Tip 1: Don't soak your strawberries too long, you want it to be coated enough, flavoured enough but not soggy.
Tip 2: You don't have to buy the most expensive strawberries in the market, just as long as its ripe enough. The syrup and spices will heighten the flavour on its own.
Tip 3: Experiment.... enjoy

Ingredients:
1 cup sugar
1 cup water
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Enjoy fellow foodies!

I only prepare baby potatoes with my salmon en croute... boiled in water and slathered with melted butter, showered with sea salt and pepper.

Then I found this recipe which I tweaked a bit ... this is now my new fave!

Ingredients:
10 baby potatoes
2 cups chicken stock
1/2 cup fresh lemon juice
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon sea salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 teaspoon lemon zest
1/4 cup herbs
knob of butter
Salt and pepper to taste

Place the first six ingredients in a medium sauce pan. Heat it until it boils. Lower down the heat and continue to simmer for 20-25 minutes until the potatoes are tender.

Drain and cut each into two. Put a knob of butter, salt and pepper, lemon zest and herbs. Mix all together until potato halves are well coated.

Fast and easy... enjoy your tatters!
