Salmon wellington with a white wine sauce – heavenly.
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…
Amazing beef with bean sprouts & spring onions
Perfect dish for a Friday night. Simple dish with very few ingredients which doesn’t take much thinking about, this dish is so rewarding. This dish itself hardly takes anytime you cook, yet again more time spent on the prep so in my case gives me time to shut down after work. The good thing about…
Creamy Black Dhal 👌
This recipe was taken from Dishoom. I first discovered Dishoom when Rick Stein visited the original restaurant on his tv series – Rick Steins India. I have to be honest I didn’t really pay them much attention. Last year for my birthday I was gifted the Dishoom cook book. It’s not like any cook book…
Traditional Chicken Curry
My go to curry will be usually anything that involves lamb or king prawns. Sadly with the cost of lamb jumping to crazy prices lamb is now off the menu for a while. When cooking a curry dish and I use chicken I only ever use chicken thighs. I find thighs are the best cut….

Tandoori mushrooms with a paprika sauce 😊
This is quite simply a stunning dish. Taking your everyday mushrooms to another level just by doing a simple marinade. I’m finding the more I learn about food and flavour combinations the more I’m understanding food is about planning, preparation and marinades. For the marinade – 2 tbsp of garlic & ginger paste, 1 green…
Tandoori whole roast chicken – Sunday alternative roast ❤️
Such a simple yet rewarding dish. Again as I’m finding out. The key to flavours is all about preparation and the marinade. Marinade – 4tbsp of Greek yogurt, 2 tbsp of garlic and ginger paste, 2 tsp of paprika, 1 heaped tbsp of tandoori masala. Mix well. With a sharp knife score the flesh of…
