Still struggling to get to grips with everything today. Starting to adjust to the best way of eating but I was feeling really hungry later in the afternoon. For breakfast I had some puffed-rice cake and it just wasn't enough. For lunch it was the obligatory salad but without anything to add to it the whole lot tasted a bit flat and wasn't enough to keep me going. By the evening I was starving and feeling pretty rough too. Dinner of scallop and pea risotto couldn't come soon enough.
After dinner we embarked on some cooking experiments to see what we could make. I made houmous (or hummus if you prefer), from a blend of garlic, olive oil, tahini and chick peas and added plenty of salt and some fresh coriander to boost the flavour in the absence of lemon juice. Gillian made crispbread from a mixture of gram flour and rice flour. These were delicious and I ate most of the first batch stood in the kitchen! We then tried to make flatbreads but these were only partially successful as they kept sticking to the frying pan. I'm going to retry these by making them using less liquid and popping them in the oven.
