My love for a pie!!!

I returned home from work on Wednesday 12th May to find a large parcel in the kitchen addressed to me. Within this parcel was a selection of pies which you automatically knew took pie making to another level. In life we have people that leave an impact on you. Within my work place I have…

The cooking is simple, the ingredients are simple to put together, why would you not want to create your own restaurant quality tandoori chicken??? Before I get on….a very simple tip – I use a skewer to cook above a dish to allow the hot air to circulate the meat like a tandoor oven. The…
