cyclotest Tip
It is fairly easy to follow the recipes. When we tried out the recipes, we added oregano instead of thyme. We also added some freshly chopped garlic when we were roasting the prawns. Both dishes were delicious! They go really well with a fruity white wine. However, during the PMS phase it would be best to abstain from alcohol. How about a cup of tea then?
Bon appétit and happy cooking!
