This for me is stepping outside of my comfort zone. Think I wanted to prove I could do it whilst having an unwinding Sunday. Simplicity is the key with only using 5 ingredients but as I found out a few stages that I found a little tricky, The proof as they say is in the…

I love home cooking. Discovering flavours is amazing. I find cooking the perfect way to kick back and relax. Always a thrill finding a new recipe and making it my own. Food idols like Rick Stein, Gary Rhodes have inspired me to cook and enjoy it.
I have a major passion for Indian / Asian food. The flavour combinations are truly inspirational. Please enjoy my passion for home cooking.
The famous IKEA meatball sauce – the real reason people go to IKEA !!
The queues in the Ikea food hall used to say it all. They may of not doing anything else (although their fry ups were great value for money). Everyone loves their meatballs & the sauce it came with, again even though you wouldn’t expect it this is a good food memory of mine. The sauce…
Pav Bhaji Masala – heavenly ❤️
I spotted this recipe on Instagram from an Indian cooking influencer and I was instantly fascinated by its simplicity and the overall concept. The following evening I took a stroll around to a local Indian deli that’s popped up on the housing estate behind me ( quite a random place for kind of authentic shop…
Tandoori chicken Madras 🌶️🌶️
Thought I’d do a little update as I’ve not written for a while due to a number of distractions 😞. Just taking a moment to write this ok a Sunday morning with a cuppa in bed. When it comes to curries, I’m all about flavour over heat. I do like to enjoy the flavours that…
Goan Beef Kofta Curry – absolute delight of a dish ❤️
I loved cooking this dish, I actually think, this is my best dish to date. The taste and flavours were unreal with many different layers of flavour which just keep coming with each mouthful. It’s such a simple dish to make which makes it even better. What can be better…..a curry that you can make…
Something different – Beef Stroganoff ❤️
I fancied cooking something different just so I don’t fall into the bracket of becoming a ‘one trick pony’. I love cooking anything, especially something I’ve never done before. Recently life has been quite challenging so cooking has been a good release. I took this recipe from ‘Rick Stein’s At Home’ cookbook. I had all…
Egg Bhurji ( Rustic Indian street food ) with paneer kebabs, mint sauce & coriander dipping sauce.
I had a similar dish whilst away with work in Leeds at an amazing street food restaurant called Bundobust. This authentic restaurant offered quite a large range of street food dishes which took the taste buds to another level. No meat dishes on the menu, loved this concept. They even had their own brewery!! Bonus!!!…
Pork Vindaloo – 👎👍
Part of learning is failing. Sadly in life I’m used to failing. This was such a dish sadly. I think it’s important to showcase your failings otherwise you will never learn. I knew instantly my mistakes whilst cooking this dish. I’m more upset about the waste of money. When money is precious you can’t afford…
Thai inspired chicken & cashew nuts ❤️
As I’m sat in a car park whilst my son is at scouts I just thought I’d catch up with a dish I made a week or so ago. I wanted to cook something which needed nothing buying as I had all the ingredients within the house. I stumbled over this recipe whilst flicking through…
Slow-cooked pork with ginger, chilli & sweet soy sauce ❤️
Love cooking ‘one pot’ dishes. This dish was such a simple dish to make, full of flavour, only a few ingredients which took no time at all to prepare which enables you to go off and do other things whilst it’s doing its magic. I’ve never cooked a dish from Bali so I was quite…
