Christmas dinner for me is the best meal to sit down and enjoy. I love cooking Christmas dinner. In the past I’ve cooked it for 16 people and just for 2, the same effort and passion goes in to it regardless of numbers. It was a big thing in my house growing up so I’ve…

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…
Lamb keema saag balti ❤️
Love this dish. That’s all I have to say !! Proper family favourite, amazing how you can take two humble ingredients and take them together another level just by understanding flavour combinations. The real star or the show…spice mix call panch pooran. I mixture of many seeds put together to enhance any dish. I’ve made…
Classic lemon tart !
This for me is stepping outside of my comfort zone. Think I wanted to prove I could do it whilst having an unwinding Sunday. Simplicity is the key with only using 5 ingredients but as I found out a few stages that I found a little tricky, The proof as they say is in the…
Tandoori chicken Madras 🌶️🌶️
Thought I’d do a little update as I’ve not written for a while due to a number of distractions 😞. Just taking a moment to write this ok a Sunday morning with a cuppa in bed. When it comes to curries, I’m all about flavour over heat. I do like to enjoy the flavours that…

Something different – Beef Stroganoff ❤️
I fancied cooking something different just so I don’t fall into the bracket of becoming a ‘one trick pony’. I love cooking anything, especially something I’ve never done before. Recently life has been quite challenging so cooking has been a good release. I took this recipe from ‘Rick Stein’s At Home’ cookbook. I had all…
Slow-cooked pork with ginger, chilli & sweet soy sauce ❤️
Love cooking ‘one pot’ dishes. This dish was such a simple dish to make, full of flavour, only a few ingredients which took no time at all to prepare which enables you to go off and do other things whilst it’s doing its magic. I’ve never cooked a dish from Bali so I was quite…
Beef Kofta Curry 👍
My best ever homemade dish ❤️. What a tasty dish this was!! The flavours just kept flowing through each mouthful. One of the best plates of food I’ve ever made. The recipe was taken from Rick Steins – Far Eastern Odyssey. The last book I purchased to complete his collection. I think almost all of…
Sri Lankan Monkfish Curry ( well my rough version).
Whilst I admit the photos don’t do the dish justice…..I have to be proud with how the dish turned out due to a simple fact….I only had a saucepan to make the dish in…..yes you read that correctly !!!!?? You see, I’m on holiday in Cornwall. As a family we’d come prepared to eat in…
