Panna cotta is my favourite desert. I had it for the first time at The Seafood Restaurant in Padstow, Rick Steins famous flagship restaurant which is celebrating 50 years of service this year….crazy to think an eating establishment have been trading for 50 years. Full credit to the whole team at Steins for achieving this…

Christmas Dinner – best meal of the year by far ❤️ – My idiots guide to cooking.
Christmas dinner for me is the best meal to sit down and enjoy. I love cooking Christmas dinner. In the past I’ve cooked it for 16 people and just for 2, the same effort and passion goes in to it regardless of numbers. It was a big thing in my house growing up so I’ve…
Keralan Black Treacle Salmon ❤️
This…..is one of the best Indian inspired dishes I’ve ever made!!! This takes home cooking to another level. The flavours within the dish were insane…yet so simple. Again over the past few days I’ve used two different methods of cooking the fish within one dish, both of which I’ve done before but I wouldn’t have…
Agra ginger chicken ❤️
My son who was 11 at the time of writing this post asked me for a Indian inspired Sunday lunch! Now I’m not going to miss the chance to do this!! This dish was the perfect way to bring him into the Indian food fold due to it being packed with flavour and goodness with…
Prawn Puri ❤️
I love this dish, one of my favourite starters. I’ve wanted to recreate this dish for a while, last night was my first attempt at this. I do agree with the legend Dan Toombs, you can judge a good curry house on its prawn puri. Ingredients- rapeseed oil, 1 star anise, small piece of cinnamon…
Kung Po Chicken with steamed Jasmine rice.
Chinese cooking has fascinated me for years, how flavours can be brought together at speed. My first ever takeaway when at middle school was king prawns and tomatoes with egg fried rice and I can remember it like yesterday. Trying to get my head around the flavours and speed it was cooked in from a…
Punjabi chicken curry
A traditional dish from India. A dish that brings all the flavours together brilliantly. I really enjoy cooking traditional dishes as this helps me understand the balance of spice & flavours. You can then bring this to the westernised dishes that I’m trying to perfect. Traditional recipes aren’t as complex as you’d think…if you get…
Beef Panang Curry
I made this a week or so ago and finally catching up as I didn’t know what to write about this this. Let me explain. With a lot going on I’ve not been focused enough to blog my thoughts, plus who cares about my thoughts…right? Thai food fascinates me. I do think though with Thai…
Penang curry paste from scratch 👍
Well, I keep going back and trying to make Thai inspired food. I’m determined to crack this and win over people in my household. It’s difficult when I’m the only person in the house that will eat Thai food and flavours but that’s not going to stop me as I’m keen to keep learning. People…
Heathy eating – A nod to Joe Wicks.
As costs are sadly increasing as is the waist line as we become older we’ve been looking at cost effective cooking which is healthy. My partner picked up a book by chance from a charity shop by Joe Wicks. Needless to say, we now have 6! Ok many of the recipes are duplicated but if…
