This dish was a little trip down memory lane. Slightly different to the restaurant style version I’d previously written about. This is the ‘rustic’ homemade ‘one pot’ version. This dish holds a great deal of sentimental value to me. When I was doing my Saturday morning curries this is a dish I had on my…

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…
Chicken jalfrezi – simple and easy family favourite ❤️
Who doesn’t love a jalfrezi ?? This cooking method is different from the westernised restaurants and takeaways as I’m using no base sauce. You make and create the sauce as you make the dish. This version was again cooked to celebrate National Curry Week at the start of October. The beauty of this dish is…
Bicol Express – Filipino curry !
This dish was stunning! Another dish I’d cooked for National Curry Week. Only slight downside was the shrimp paste I used. The shrimp paste was brought back from Singapore by a friend who was working out there with JLR. It was stronger than anything I’d previously used and the smell hung around for days…..lesson learnt!!…
Rajma masala ❤️
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….
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…
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…
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…
