Steamed Soy Chicken With Spinach-Stuffed Rice Paper Rolls

Garish weddings, cakes groaning under sugar sculptures, pancake and blue eye shadow, bling and blow-dried beehives, melodramatic soaps and mushy greeting cards crammed with pink hearts, gilt and glass drawing rooms,red and oily overcooked curries…are just some of the things that make me scream OTT (over the top).

Cauliflower Broccoli Bacon Gratin

Cauliflower is not my husband’s favourite so it’s always a challenge to primp it up and make it attractive. This cauliflower-bacon gratin is adapted from Dorie Greenspan’s Around My French Table.

Although the original recipe uses only cauliflower, I decided to throw in some broccoli to add…
