"I have long believed that good food, good eating is all about risk. Whether we're talking about unpasteurized Stilton, raw oysters or working for organized crime 'associates,' food, for me, has always been an adventure."--Anthony Bourdain

Personal Notes:
I adapted this recipe from one I found online. I love the carrots because they add a wonderful sweetness to the falafel. I eat falafel in almost anything, from sandwiches to spaghetti. They can also be frozen in an air tight container and saved for later. I think the recipe is relatively easy and may be adapted to your personal preference. Perhaps you like peppers over carrots? Go ahead and swap them. Tzatiki is one of my favorite dipping sauces for falafel and I have included the recipe in the sauces section of this book.
