‘Chicken 65’
‘Chicken 65’ is a popular starter in most Indian restaurants plus in India. My youngest son asked me to make it as it’s his favourite dish when we eat out at our family favourite Indian restaurant in Hinckley called 7H Spices. He loves the dish that much, he has had it as a starter for…
Honey roasted tandoori chicken 👍🏻
This is a fantastic dish to introduce eating back outside. Love eating outside full stop. This dish is perfect for the bbq, however, on this occasion I cooked it inside whilst cooking other meats on the bbq. This dish requires two separate marinades, other than that, the oven will do the rest. Both the marinades…
Keema Pav ❤️
I love a good keema, I’ve cooked many keema’s. Full of intense flavour and a wonderful low cost dish. A traditional street food dish of Indian and chicken keema pav is one of the best you can get. A proper comfort food dish for the whole family. I’ve cooked the vegetable version a number of…

Outstanding fish pie from the king of the sea !!!
We all comfort food! For me a fish pie, shepherds pie, cottage pie and homemade lasagna fall into this category. Also, they bring fond food memories back of my childhood and my mums cooking. Over the years I’ve made many different versions of fish pies but for me this was the best. So many layers…
Outstanding cauliflower cheese
This was my first attempt at cauliflower cheese as I continue to develop my cooking knowledge and improve on basic skills. It was the perfect addition to which was already a wonderful Sunday roast. I’ve always loved making a basic white sauce then expanding it to multiple dishes. This one though went a little further….
Love roast potatoes, the best comfort food around !!
Roast potatoes give me one of the best food memories around. They take me right back to my childhood. For me they are one of the best comfort foods around. They contain so much flavour buts down to you to add the flavour!!! Here is my simple yet rewarding method to maximising flavours. Firstly, as…
A very simple roast chicken hack from the legend MPW!
This is such a simple yet obvious way of taking a humble chicken to another level! Everyone loves a Sunday roast. I 100% agree with the food critic Jay Rayner that you can never eat a wonderful Sunday roast out in a restaurant simple due to the practicality of it. The Sunday roast is a…
