Chili, garlic and coriander are at the top of the scale of my list of flavours with which I love to enhance food - albeit raw or cooked. Sometimes I feel that there may be some imbalance in my metabolism as the slightest smell of fresh coriander (Dhania in the Indian community - I love this name) makes me want to immediately chomp it.... and I usually do.

So its natural that I eat and cook with these ingredients as well as other incredible tastes.... as often as possible. 

Sometimes I wonder if my intense love for strong flavours across the board, may have a link to my ancestry - part Welsh with their own history of the invasion by the Normans etc, etc. All linked to the Vikings.
