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…
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…
Spicy fried potato curry with paneer cheese & peas 👍
This is a lovely dish. The flavours burst through giving you a beautiful tasting plate of food. It’s a fantastic way of lifting potatoes to another level, but the surprising element of the dish….is the peas. Trust me, try the dish and you’ll understand what I’m rambling about. Ingredients- 4 tbsp of vegetable oil, 250g…
Aubergine curry with tomatoes, ginger & fennel seeds ❤️
Another dish taken from Rick Stein’s – Far Eastern Odyssey cook book. The recipe is nice and simple. Another contributing factor I picked this recipe as all I needed to purchase was the aubergines which cost 80p each. I had all the other ingredients in the house plus the mint that was used I picked…
Beef Kofta Curry 👍
My best ever homemade dish ❤️. What a tasty dish this was!! The flavours just kept flowing through each mouthful. One of the best plates of food I’ve ever made. The recipe was taken from Rick Steins – Far Eastern Odyssey. The last book I purchased to complete his collection. I think almost all of…
Chicken Rezala & homemade dhal ❤️
Simple, beautiful cooking. These are the only words needed to describe this dish. Dish is similar to a tikka masala but with more heat running through it. I keep making the same mistake though sadly over & over again…..no beer in the house to enjoy it with !!!!!! This dish is usually a quicker dish…
