Hazelnut Butter

This Hazelnut Butter was easy to make and although I really like the taste of hazelnuts on their own, I wasn't too sure about this recipe.  It certainly worked well as part of a dressing for chicken salad when combined with orange juice that Annabel suggests, but as a paste on bread or in a tart I think it was a little over-powering.  It kept in the fridge for a long time and eventually got used, but I have to admit, this wasn't one of my favourites!

Corn and Israeli Couscous Salad

If I had to pick a favourite vegetable I think it would be corn.  I love it when you go to a market or a carnival and you can buy corn on the cob on a stick, they'll drip it in butter and add some freshly ground black pepper, oh heaven!  This salad is delicious, the corn combined with the couscous and the crunch of the almonds makes it simple and so yum!
