A lot can change between now and final copy so be warned!! Miles Cid,

Pity really Miles Rod,

My mind is spinning just thinking about how to incorporate the herbs and spices. Flavoured syrups, creams and biscuits..... the huge number of macaron fillings I've found often have surprising flavour combinations... I can see I shall have to experiment to keep up. Bought my first jar of sumac today, it has a warm tangy sort of taste which is most unusual. If I find it gives a reddish dye then I'll be all the more pleased... I'm always looking for natural food colours. While we're on the subject of sweet dishes, I found a packet of sweet olive oil tortas which were hand made in Seville. They are large, thin, light weight pastries individually wrapped in paper, flavoured with sesame and aniseseed, really delicious and presumably good for anyone wishing to avoid butter? Wheel on the Collins dessert trolley, I can hardly wait! Cid Miles,

Have you noticed any trends away from the traditional desserts to perhaps things slightly healthier and does decadence still win the day ? It will be interesting to see som eof the finished dishes Cheers Rod Miles,
