    Hi Leonora, A tip for taking the stem out of lettuce. Literally-whack the lettuce stem side down on the cutting board-it will pop right out! No knife needed. Love your channel!

    Leonora, John Torode slams the iceberg on the worktop root side down. He then twists out the root/ core and all the leaves will peel off without ripping them. Thanks for sharing your life with us. I look forward to your vlogs and you are utterly charming and delightful. x

    Leonora, you really do have the ultimate dream kitchen! I always have my fajitas in lettuce cups, and I find the trick to removing the leaf from the root is to slice the base of the lettuce off and then cut each individual leaf from the base before you peel it off. The way you chop your peppers to avoid the seeds, is brilliant! Your Mexican feast looked absolutely mouth watering! Thank you for sharing your secret recipe and tips with us. I hope you and Monica had the most fabulous time together. ❤❤❤

    Yes I thought that too and thought it may have been too hot for a pinny. Like you I like to tidy as I go. You are a welcome addition to the blogging world. That lettuce trick a good one. I buy lovely one from Lidl now that comes with root more attached and seems to stay fresher longer - multi green. Iceberg for all its bad press is still a favourite.

    If you run the lettuce under the tap after you take the core out, the leaves will just pop off so easily. You just work each layer gently as the water runs over it. Then just dry on a tea towel. It dries so quickly.

    Oh my GOD, im glad you like Mexican Food, you need a good SALSA in that table some day in a future i will be at England to cook a SALSA, also you can use the nachos tortillas only and heat that sauce red in that bowl i saw at table and shower over nachos add white cheese and will be grated, we called chilaquiles the version i write here is a light version for UK ingredients of course, if the nachos tortillas lost the crunchy you can oven roast like 8 minutes and voila new nachos again.. love your chanel!

It's basically an address where you can get mail without the sender knowing your private home address..it is sent to the post office instead. I always appreciate when you tube creators have one because that way, we can send you little gifts or holiday cards. If you ever get one set up, please let us know asap!

    Gosh you're a trooper Leonora, how you managed to record and cook while you were expecting a guest was beyond me. Like you I am a firm believe of buying quality cookware that will last you for years to come. Over Lockdown and beyond I invested in Staub, Lodge and Le Creuset . enamel pots. Will never go back to anything else. Not really into Mexican food but I love the idea of using lettuce leaves instead of wraps

    I only use red onions as they don't make my eyes sore. White onions are lethal!!! I admire you making mexican for your friend and although I like cooking I hate cooking in a hurry and my daughter makes the best mexican meal and I never do. I should but I make a piggy of myself when she cooks it and have been sticking to vegetarian pasta and curry and omolettes, salmon and quick and easy dishes with lots of vegs. You are a great cook and present the food so beautifully - where did you learn? When I touch raw chicken or any meat I wash my hands straight after and don't touch anything until I have washed my hands.
