Mexican street snacks, stuffed with prawns and corn, then rolled and fried; and a chewy chocolate dessert inspired by a classic Japanese cake
Food that comes in a roll will always mean one of two things. One, that it can be eaten by hand, which makes it feel relaxed and informal – wraps, sausage rolls, sushi, burritos, spring rolls and so on. And second that, as well as the roll’s exterior, which is delicious in itself, there is also the promise of the filling, as in a crepe, roulade, arctic roll and so on. This always makes rolls feel exciting. I offer both today: the taquito is relaxed and informal, the mochi a spectacular, filling-filled ta-da!
