Spiced Aubergine
Spiced aubergine

I have a vast number of cookery books and magazines, easily numbering in the high hundreds with recipes from the far corners of the world (and a few from my own doorstep) that must number in the tens of thousands.

The other evening I was making a lamb shashlik (See recipe for Chicken Shashlik and substitute lamb for the chicken) and wanted to do something similar with an aubergine I had in the fridge.  Now I’m sure that if I looked among the recipes in my vast stock of cookery books I would have found something suitable; the only problem is that it could have taken me a week (or even more) to go through them, by which time my lamb would probably have given up the ghost.

But a cursory search on the Wickedly Wonderful Web revealed a number of possibilities from which I selected this Spiced Aubergine dish of Moroccan origin.  This ability to find virtually instantly almost anything without limitation on the web must be one of the blessings of modern living (although I’m sure there are many reasons why it is equally a curse – don’t you just love a good dichotomy?)

Some of my favourite dishes are the result of web searches and I eagerly look forward to finding many more going forward.

Vive Le Web!
