Roasted cauliflower leaves have become my new thin

Roasted cauliflower leaves have become my new thing for the year 😍 (this is why⬇️). .
Cauli leaves are SUPER under rated and never really thought of much more than compost or wastage, let alone as a great snack or side for dinner but really they SHOULD BE (insert confident and kinda sassy finger snap). .
If you toss Cauli 🥬 in a little oil, season (lovingly) and roast on a high temperature (like 200°C - 220 °C) for 15 - 20 mins the thick stems become juicey, meaty and VERY moreish, while the leaves, that are fairly hardy and pretty inedible raw, crisp up and take on this lacey, delicate texture.
.
Then you take all of that goodness combine it with a smokey red pepper sauce, chilli oil and a little yoghurt (full cream or vegan) and you get textural, flavour heaven. All from this underappreciate, often forgotten or unwanted gem from one of the cheapest and forgiving veggies, the cauliflower 😏☺️.

This is one of a few of my favourite memories taken from a recent (uninstagramed) trip to Istanbul. 🧚‍♀️✨

Casual snap of me in the streets of Paris 🗼🥐🍷. Well at least that is what I imagined it would be like when I finally made it there, this overly romanticised slice of culinary paradise, with me going full Julia Child on that town. But it wasn't.

Last week I got to travel with my mum, for a wintery (freezing) trip to the rainy city of love. (Swipe for our authentic experience ➡️.)It poured, I froze, I currently have the sniffles thanks to it and ate more carbs than I have ever had in a space of 3 days (loved it!) and even though I didn't get the idilic trip I had always imagined, things turned out far better 🥐😍🐶☕.
.
We followed recommendations I'd been saving over the years and @milkkarten trip, which was golden. Every spot I shared in my stories (see highlights) is a massive recommendation, if you ever get the chance to go, no matter the time of year. I learnt so much and really got to reconnect with the beauty that classic and modern french cuisine has to offer ☺️🙌.

Paris was such a treat! Thanks @aclberesford

Oh and a quick real talk - this first IG approved picture was taken by @juaneventer.lifestyle in Bokaap, Cape Town ❤️👌☺️🙊.
