\"Dream<\/p>\n

What is better in life than food that reminds you of being on holiday. The nostalgia almost makes it better than the original. (Ok so obviously the holiday is better, but I said almost!) As I said earlier in the week I have been living in a little Andalusian dream, so decided to put together a dish that was tipfying all my cravings \u2013 Orange, Cous Cous, Almonds. These three Ingredients in particular have such warmth and richness to them, that they can’t help but evoke the sun dappled streets lined with orange trees.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Right, enough day dreaming and time to get some of that goodness into your lives as well. So without any further ramblings lets get on with making that sunshine food.<\/span><\/p>\n
