Over 100 cook books to choose from .
I have within my collection over 100 cook books to choose from. My passion for cooking takes me towards Indian cuisine and fish.
I’m fascinated how spices can be combined to make amazing flavours in any cooking. I hope to share my passion of cooking with you all.
Some of my recent dishes.
Cod with spiced cabbage
I love discovering new dishes! This dish was like ‘wow’ !! So much flavour it’s unreal, again with very few ingredients, as they say – ‘less is more’. The recipe is a modified version of a dish by ‘Mother India’ whom I discovered during a work trip to Glasgow. The original recipe used halibut, but…
Crab meat over broccoli – Regional dish from Guangdong 🇨🇳
A simple yet stunning dish made with everyday supermarket ingredients. This beautiful dish is a regional dish which originates from Guangdong in China and it is exactly what it says. A beautiful sauce mixed with crab meat and finished off the heat with a whisked egg white which thickens and holds the sauce together is…
Spinach meatball curry
Spinach meatball curry ❤️ – recipe taken from ‘30 minute Mowgli’. Anyone who knows me knows that I love the chain Mowgli. Everything about the chain, recipes, ethos & brand values fascinates me. I love recreating their dishes and recipes all written up by Nisha Katona who dream of opening this restaurant became a reality…
Penang Chicken Curry ❤️
A dish I’ve tried to recreate many times using various methods and recipes. I am determined to understand this dish and the regions of Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia, China and Japan. This recipe and method was taken from Jeremy Pang’s – Simple Family Feasts. Jeremy uses a method called – The Wok Clock. A simple and…
Mumbai toastie 😊
Something very delightful about this dish. Some might think it’s a lot of fuss to create this dish, but trust me, it’s well worthwhile. So many flavour combinations it’s unreal. Ingredients- makes 3 toasties 2 tbsp of vegetable oil 1 tsp of cumin seeds Between 10 / 20 curry leaves 1 onion finely diced 3…
Tamarind cod curry ❤️
I love the cultural history behind this dish. Tamarind within any dish gives a natural ‘tangy’ hit which I love, tamarind is also used in my favourite dish – pathia. Both have a similar ‘sweet & sour’ hit from the tamarind and sugar with chilli under notes. This dish traditionally is a dish from South…
Bhindi Aloo Dhabi – (okra and potatoes )❤️
This is a new dish for me on many levels. New as in I’d never attempted it and new as in I’d never eaten okra ❤️. I was inspired to find a recipe and create it after hearing stories from a work colleague about it when he was at home in Indian. I could hear…
Chana gosht ❤️ – lentils & lamb
Two of my favourite ingredients in a single dish, especially in a curry. I love lamb in any curry dish. I think the lamb meat, any cut, holds onto spices better than any other meat. Love a slow cooked lamb dish when the meat flakes apart into the curry. Then there is my favourite side…
Chicken pad Thai ❤️
New dish for me, recipe taken from Rick Steins Asian Odyssey cook book.I’ve always been put off from making this dish, however, I’m not too sure why !!3/4’s of the time is spent doing the prep….the cooking is the quick and simple part.Packed with flavours, however, I did reduce the Thai fish sauce that was…
Goan prawn curry – easy version ❤️
I love Goan food. Goan fish curries are just sensational. If eating in regional restaurants that specialise in Goan food I’ll always order the fish curry. I love this recipe from Madhur Jaffrey from her ‘Curry Easy’ cookbook. The dish itself only has a few ingredients but flavour wise….wow !!! T This dish is ideal…
