What can I say about a Jalfrezi that hasn’t been said before ? Nothing…..as this is now the UK’s most ordered takeaway meal. I’ve made Jalfrezi’s that many times now I think I can make it now with my eyes closed. Just like any profession, the more you do the better you become almost robot…

Penang curry paste from scratch 👍
Well, I keep going back and trying to make Thai inspired food. I’m determined to crack this and win over people in my household. It’s difficult when I’m the only person in the house that will eat Thai food and flavours but that’s not going to stop me as I’m keen to keep learning. People…

Thai yellow chicken curry with charcoal noodles
Once you’ve made the Thai yellow curry paste in my previous post then this recipe is a doddle!! The flavour balance is really interesting. This dish does have an Indian influence running through it which is really nice. Highly recommend it, especially if you have made the paste as it’s so rewarding. Again, this recipe…
