Panna cotta is my favourite desert. I had it for the first time at The Seafood Restaurant in Padstow, Rick Steins famous flagship restaurant which is celebrating 50 years of service this year….crazy to think an eating establishment have been trading for 50 years. Full credit to the whole team at Steins for achieving this…

Full English breakfast pie 👍🏻
Who doesn’t love a pie ? Who doesn’t love a full English breakfast ? Why not combine the two together ?? Well, this superb recipe from The Hairy Bikers does just that !! This is a brilliant recipe using wonderful ingredients. This dish was a lot of fun to create. I’m al says learning about…
Rustic chicken chasni ❤️
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…
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!!…
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….
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…
My beautiful cottage pie !
I’ve recently started to challenge myself to put my spin on classic dishes. Understand the basics better then recreate with my twist. Could be anything from baking, to roasting or beautiful home cooking like this dish. Again, this dish was made from scratch after walking in from work. I’m making this point as I often…
Home Cooking for everyone.
