Falafel has been a staple in Middle Eastern cuisine for centuries, with each region adding its own twist to this classic dish. It's a testament to the beauty of simplicity - just a few basic ingredients combined to create a flavor that's truly unique.

Our 'Fuzzy Logic' twist comes from an Iron Chef's perspective. We add a bit more coriander than is traditionally used. This seemingly small change greatly enhances the flavor profile of the falafel, adding an extra depth to every bite.

The beauty of this dish is its versatility. The falafel balls can be made in advance and kept in the fridge for a quick and healthy meal. The choice of vegetables can be adapted to your preferences, making this a truly customizable dish.

The Fuzzy Logic Falafel Wrap is more than just a meal. It's an exploration of flavors, a journey to a different place, and a celebration of the simple joy of cooking. We hope you enjoy making it as much as we did!
