This another dish that I’ve had chance to experiment with due to finishing work early for Christmas. Again the dish has been taken from Madhur Jaffrey’s ‘Curry Easy’ cook book. When the dish is served in the Rajasthan desert region of India, its colour, comes mainly from the hot ground chillies as its fiery red!…

Fried whitebait, the Sri Lankan way and my homemade chilli jam ❤️
The beautiful thing about finishing work early for the Christmas break is that I find myself having extra time in the kitchen. I’ve always wanted to try a ‘spicier’ version of the traditional whitebait you have here in the UK. This dish didn’t disappoint. The recipe was taken from Madhur jaffrey’s ‘Curry Easy’ cookbook. I…
Lamb keema saag balti ❤️
Love this dish. That’s all I have to say !! Proper family favourite, amazing how you can take two humble ingredients and take them together another level just by understanding flavour combinations.

Classic lemon tart !
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…
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.

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…
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…
