Cod with spiced cabbage

I love discovering new dishes! This dish was like ‘wow’ !! So much flavour it’s unreal, again with very few ingredients, as they say – ‘less is more’. The recipe is a modified version of a dish by ‘Mother India’ whom I discovered during a work trip to Glasgow. The original recipe used halibut, but…

Tamarind cod curry ❤️

I love the cultural history behind this dish. Tamarind within any dish gives a natural ‘tangy’ hit which I love, tamarind is also used in my favourite dish – pathia. Both have a similar ‘sweet & sour’ hit from the tamarind and sugar with chilli under notes. This dish traditionally is a dish from South…

Goan prawn curry – easy version ❤️

I love Goan food. Goan fish curries are just sensational. If eating in regional restaurants that specialise in Goan food I’ll always order the fish curry. I love this recipe from Madhur Jaffrey from her ‘Curry Easy’ cookbook. The dish itself only has a few ingredients but flavour wise….wow !!! T This dish is ideal…

Miso cod ramen 🍜 Heavenly ❤️

It’s been a while since I’ve posted, I’ve cooked quite a number of dishes which I desperately need to post about, best to start with a simple dish which shouldn’t take too much time to write up about. Miso cod ramen – I love a ramen, the clean flavoursome broth is so rewarding and fulfilling….

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…

Sautéed sea bream with parsley, garlic & spaghetti 👌🏻

My old MD before I left called me a ‘one trick pony’! I’m sure you’ll agree, excellent man management skills! I’ve never forgotten those words and I’m very conscious of those words in work, life & with my cooking. Whilst my ‘go to’ is Indian food as I’m sure those that have read any of…

Korean salmon & broccoli tray bake ❤️

This beautiful simple dish has to be one of the easiest things I’ve made yet one of the tastiest!! Again, looking to remove the meat content and focus on fish. A simple marinade, humble ingredients, then roasting in the oven, as simple as it gets, especially as the marinade consists of 5 ingredients!!!! The star…

Fried whitebait, the Sri Lankan way and my homemade chilli jam ❤️

The beautiful thing about finishing work early for the Christmas break is that I find myself having extra time in the kitchen. I’ve always wanted to try a ‘spicier’ version of the traditional whitebait you have here in the UK. This dish didn’t disappoint. The recipe was taken from Madhur jaffrey’s ‘Curry Easy’ cookbook. I…

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…
