This beautiful and simple dish takes you to another place. The more I understand Indian cooking the more I swing to vegetarian dishes. Yes, before the cooking police jump on the band wagon and tell me a tikka masala is not a traditional Indian dish….calm down. It’s a beautiful dish using simple ingredients which are…

Lahore fish stew ❤️
Yes I know……it’s been too long since I’ve posted. Life in 2026 has thrown so many curve balls it’s unreal, and to be honest, I wouldn’t know where to start listing them all. Something for certain, no matter what has been thrown in my direction, food has remained my ‘go to’ place for relaxation &…
Spinach meatball curry
Spinach meatball curry ❤️ – recipe taken from ‘30 minute Mowgli’. Anyone who knows me knows that I love the chain Mowgli. Everything about the chain, recipes, ethos & brand values fascinates me. I love recreating their dishes and recipes all written up by Nisha Katona who dream of opening this restaurant became a reality…
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…
Bhindi Aloo Dhabi – (okra and potatoes )❤️
This is a new dish for me on many levels. New as in I’d never attempted it and new as in I’d never eaten okra ❤️. I was inspired to find a recipe and create it after hearing stories from a work colleague about it when he was at home in Indian. I could hear…

My love for a ‘dhal’ shines through ❤️ – Red lentil & spinach dhal ❤️
One of my favourite Indian meals – the humble and underrated dhal. A staple meal of millions of houses in India. You can cook and add anything into a dhal. For me it’s either a fantastic side dish or equally amazing main! I’ve spent hours in the kitchen cooking dhals using various lentils & beans….
Penang chicken curry ❤️ with egg noodles & tenderstem broccoli finished with crispy onions.
I’ve tried to make this dish many many times using different methods and recipes. Each time I’ve not got it right sadly. I’m determined to get it right as having eaten the dish out it’s a beautiful representation of Thai cooking. I’m fascinated by all dishes from Asia and regions but I find Thai cooking…
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…
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….
