I cooked this wonderful dish as part of my National Curry Week celebration at the start of October. This is a fantastic meat alternative curry which is full of flavour. My first attempt at this dish and a dish I’ll cook again for sure. Ingredients- 3 tbsp of rapeseed oil. 1 tsp of cumin seeds….

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…
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…
A Diwali celebration – Mowgli paneer ❤️
Now, I love paneer. It’s such an amazing comfort food. The paneer whatever dish you are cooking absorbs the flavours like a sponge. Also paneer offers a great cost effective dish as a single pack from the supermarket usually costs around or below the £2 mark and feeds two people comfortably. So to celebrate Diwali…
Homemade pizza’s….I’m addicted ❤️
Recently I’ve been inspired with ‘home baking’. As I’ve previously mentioned I’ve always been put off as I’ve always thought it was too much phaff using precise measurements etc. but having met and purchased Rick Stein’s new cook book due to the simplicity of the recipes I now have a different view. I’ve already cooked…
Salsiccia de maiale e mele con rigatoni – my first created & written pasta recipe ❤️
This….is my first written and created pasta recipe. Using flavours & ingredients which are cupboard essentials in my house. Quite proud of this and the fact it tasted really good shows my I’m on the right path. Any dish written in Italian sounds better, even if it is just pork and apple sausage meat with…
British Beef Raj Curry 🍜
I love cooking this dish from Rick Stein’s ‘India’ cook book. It’s a great dish due to the simplicity & the flavours. I have to be honest, it’s my go to comfort food, perfect to put on and leave to cook whilst pottering about. The flavours are insane considering you are only using 3 ground…
Punjabi mushroom & peas ❤️
I love cooking dishes which gravitate ingredients we usually overlook. Like the beetroot curry this dish makes our beloved mushroom the star of the show. Another bonus for me is the cost of this dish. Being able to take relatively ‘cheap’ ingredients to cook a very wholesome beautiful dish which for me is more rewarding….
Homemade ‘tandoori’ marinade ❤️
I’ve been making this marinade for a few years now. Once you make the switch to making your own you will not go back to ‘shop bought’ versions. This takes less than 5 minutes to with a few hours doing its magic in the fridge ahead of roasting. I’ve been making this that long now…
Beetroot curry – yup you read that correctly !!! 👍🏻
This dish has fascinated me for many years. A popular dish in India and Sri Lanka. It’s fascinated me due to the fact you are taking a very humble ingredient ‘the beetroot’ to be the star of the show! Many many versions of this dish have the beetroot cooked in coconut milk to have a…
