This is one of those recipes that I created for fun. It’s like a mini dinner party, with the ingredients and presentation being just as fun as the actual dinner.
I was going to make this salad because dulcie is a good friend of mine, but honestly I feel like I could have just made it myself. It doesn’t take much to make the same dish with any of the ingredients I listed below and it’s one of those things that you can make in about a half hour or less at the least.
And I just made the salad. I made the salad for some friends, but if they don’t know what I am cooking, then it’s time to take a little closer.
The main element here is the dressing. It’s a blend of shallots and garlic and salt, lemon and vinegar to cover, and a bit of honey. That’s it, but it’s so simple and so good that it’s hard to believe that it was made by a guy with no kitchen experience.
Well, duh. I mean no disrespect. But the dressing thing is totally overblown. There’s nothing to it. It’s just a base, a little sweet, a squeeze of lemon, and a dollop of olive oil. A lot of people like to put in salt and pepper or garlic, but the salt and pepper part is just a tiny bit of flavor that adds a little zing to the dish. It’s not that great a salad.
I really like the dressing style. It keeps things simple and yet still interesting. You know I am a huge fan of simplicity. Its not like its a lot to do, but its definitely not that bad.
The thing that makes dulcie dornan so good is the fact that its not so much about the food, but about the presentation. There are a lot of things that are so simple that they are just delicious, but its the presentation that does it. I know that is a lot to say, but I promise it is true.
The thing is that the presentation of food and other food-related matters is not my strong suit. I love writing about food, but I love food writing even more. It’s a very personal thing, so I think it’s hard to describe in words, but it feels so good to write about it.
The thing that is so common about food that I love about it is its simplicity. Its the whole package. That is what makes it so powerful. Most of the time when I write about food I write about the food itself, and I love that. But sometimes things are so complicated that I feel like I have to explain the whole thing so that people will understand.
Dulcie Dornan is a new food blogger, who started by writing about her food in a very simple way. She has since then added about a dozen more recipes to her site and continues to do so. I really like the fact that she doesn’t get overwhelmed with the amount of food to write about. She can write about it in a very simple way. I think that makes the experience of writing about it so much better.
