Today I purchased something that I have been wanting to get for a long time.  Its a food steamer.  And I love it.

Even though its somewhat cumbersome, its looks dee-lish and makes me look geet posh like.  I went to my local corner store (its 24 hours you know coz this is that London) and bought a load of fruit and veg.  I'm beginning a new healthy eating......thing.  So to Christen the lovely Tefal Steamer, I prepared some broccoli florets, green beens and courgette.

After giving the steamer the advised "wash before first use", I filled the reservoir with water, loaded the broccoli and beans into one of the baskets (the courgettes take half as much time as those so were to be added at the half-way mark) and turned the timer to 20 mins.  It kicked into life and started ticking and the water started boiling.  I enjoyed watching it and when 10 mins had gone by, I threw in the courgette.  When the "ding" went, I retrieved the veg which had still kept all its colour, unlike when veg is boiled.  I then feasted on the delights and I was quite surprised at how tasty they were.  I am one who loves all veg, especially green veg.  Call me weird but I just love a bit of veg, I do I just love a bit of veg I do, OOH MAN I LOOOVE DE VEG!!

Ahem...so I will try and post some of my future steamed delicacies for you to gaze at!
