    I sometimes sprinkle a little grated cheese on but rarely. I really like my veg plain but I make sure they aren't overcooked so they have the sweetness in.

    oh, not bragging but I got my anti-brussel sprout partner to eat them because I don't boil them til mushy and salt them like his mum does That made me feel GOOD!

    I only put black pepper on my vegies.

    When I make honey carrots I melt a tablespoon or so of butter in a saucepan then add a couple of tablespoons of honey and a few sesame seeds. It's yum, I should make it more often.

    I make honey carrots the same way as Tinks.

    On steamed vegies - butter, or lemon juice, or sour cream (the extra light one).

    I don't add anything. Ive been brought up to eat my food as it comes. Just like i dont add pepper or salt to any food. If its like a roast i will dip them in gravy but thats as far as i go. Sorry im no help!

    Also be careful you're not over-steaming vegies, as this makes them soggy and bland. We use a veggie steamer and only do them for about 5 mins.

    Some yummy ideas here!

    TD can I ask how you make your gozlemes (since you're the resident Turkish expert!)? The recipe I use has yogurt in the dough, but I've always wondered if that's actually traditional?
