Thank you for joining, don't you ...Hello Mirva,<br />Thank you for joining, don't you just love Coco blog! Happy you like mine also, I have a few celiac sufferers that follow me and I shall be doing more recipes very soon. I haven't made buckwheat pasta but will try it out and let you know if I can make the recipe better (I love buckwheat). The coriander seed are good - just crush them and yes reheating any spice brings out the oils and makes it taste much better. if you have any questions... just ask happy to help.<br />Best wishes,<br />Ivan :)A Normandy kitchenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11793122018733990319noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5064283732773106138.post-84108933731522638322013-01-11T10:40:10.982+01:002013-01-11T10:40:10.982+01:00I just found your blog through coco's link, an...I just found your blog through coco's link, and it makes my mouth water! I'm going to try several of your recipes, though I'll probably have to modify them a bit as we've got people with celiac disease as well as lactose intolerant ones (me included) in our family. Let's see if I can cook your homemade pasta (it sounded pretty easy and looked delicious) with buckwheat or similar gluten-free flour...<br /><br />I was wondering about this particular spice-mix here, though. You say one could just make it all out of ground spices (I happen to have all of them in my cupboard, though only coriander as seeds). Should I heat the ground spices too, or will it be enough just to mix them together? (In other words, does heating somehow make the mixture better?)<br /><br />Thank you for a wonderful blog full of fantastic recipes!Mirvahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11136730040307494010noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5064283732773106138.post-81564015850307192132013-01-04T21:01:01.338+01:002013-01-04T21:01:01.338+01:00Hello Kay,

The cider gets distilled into Calvados (and we pay lots of tax!!). I was so wanting to do a post but for the first time we didn't have enough to do a pressing (bumper crop due this year!!) You'd love Normandy lots of things to visit, eat and photograph!!

Looks like it would make a good Hors d'oeuvre or party food for my New Year's Eve Party. I will cut the chicken into small bit size pieces and make more Yogart sauce for dipping. <br /><br />Glad your Christmas was relaxing. My trip to Illions was wonderful and Santa brought me a white Christmas--8 inches of snow, glad to be back down South.

The spice mix nearest is a Korma mix (UK does a Tikka mix but not sure in Canada)- which like above, is mild. Any good curry paste or powder you can add more from your cupboard like coriander seeds and cumin are good.
