Rebecca Jobse @beccasfoodfest I love summer because breakfast looks like this
When it comes to food, the taste is all in the texture. Just think: what would apples, granola and nuts be without their crunch? And would cream, mashed potatoes, sauces and soups be the same if they weren’t so smooth? This week, it’s a battle between those who prefer foods that pack a crunch to those who savour a smoother ride at mealtime. And if you’re having a hard time deciding whether you like your food to go with the flow or your courses coarse, just think of what texture peanut butter you ultimately take sides with.
