The FastDay Forum

This is probably my favourite food column, like the way they take all the influences and then come up with a recipe. Might have been posted before but today it's falafels and I love falafels...

Yeah @Izzy I thought that was interesting too. I'm going to try this at the weekend. I have a word.doc recipe book that I update with recipes. Xx

Me too @izzy the bookmarks are getting very long indeed. Thanks again @Caitlin I'm no stalking you honest. Sue

Thanks Caitlin!
I know someone who's opening a falafel shop so have forwarded this! X

I must try and learn how to use all these apps available now, for recipes and things.

Lol @izzy I think mine sometimes wishes I had
But yes I'm loving it and tonight's meal was so nice
filling + tasty OH had a taste and approved doubtful he
will go there though.

That's a nice series, @caitlin! I also like Recipes for Health in the NY Times. I'm sad that Mark Bittman is writing a column now instead of doing The Minimalist recipes.

Thanks @MaryAnn

Here is an archive article from the minimalist recipes from a few years ago I like the various little salads thing...

While I'm here...

I also like this Guardian column by Joanna Blythman "Why .... is good for you". A bit about he benefits of a food and a simple recipe...

The old version didn't have a clue (I still don't, but with all the lovely spices I use, I can make my food smell really, really good)

Is it possible that MM is on the space station beaming up earthlings and replacing them with biologically improved versions - you want to see whats happened to my buddy @FatDog

Ha @Sue.Q it's always nice to see the electric cat popping up

The peach and tomato salad and the mango salad from that 101 salads are two of my favorite things, @caitlin!

There's a similar article about cooking on the grill. Have you ever tried those?

Hi @MaryAnn, I really like the peach and tomato one too, and I like to have a few salads on the go at any one time, it's just such an easy way to eat.

I had not seen the grill ones so managed to find the link, thanks for the heads up, these are such useful recipes...
