Good to know

Fresh herbs like chives or cress are very versatile and enhance the taste of almost any dish. They are low in calories and contain valuable nutrients like vitamins, minerals, and secondary plant substances. Instead of pumpkin, you can also use grated carrots in the waffle batter. The waffles freeze well; pack them in plastic containers or freezer bags once fully cooled and defrost at room temperature when needed.
