This is a pretty simple yet tasty variation for bread and even toast. If you cannot find French sticks even hamburger rolls cut into half or plain bread will work still. You can check for the stick at the bakery section of your local supermarket, I got this at one […]
Honey and mustard is a good combination for poultry, especially. This means you can even try this recipe on duck or quail. It requires no marinating time so it’s a quick fix. If you do not have mustard powder you can instead use the mustard paste (60ml) and remove the […]
