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…

Beef Kofta Curry đź‘Ť
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…
Sri Lankan Monkfish Curry ( well my rough version).
Whilst I admit the photos don’t do the dish justice…..I have to be proud with how the dish turned out due to a simple fact….I only had a saucepan to make the dish in…..yes you read that correctly !!!!?? You see, I’m on holiday in Cornwall. As a family we’d come prepared to eat in…

I wanted a challenge. This was the perfect step outside of my comfort zone. Lots of little steps which kept me busy in the kitchen on a wet Sunday afternoon. The salmon was reduced in Morrisons and as we all know you shouldn’t purchase fish from the supermarkets on a Sunday or Monday as they…
Grilled Asian inspired scallops

Sustainable fishing practices should be put into place fully to protect our fishing stocks. Sadly though due to this cost rise scallops aren’t something I’d pick up nowadays. Thankfully these were…
My food hero Rick Stein ❤️
This week I’ve been reminded of my love affair for Cornwall, food & Rick Stein. I discovered a podcast interview with Jack Stein done by an Australian chef called Gary Mehigan. Jumped in the bath, started the podcast, an hour and 6 minutes later sitting in cold water it had finished. The time flew by…
