I love discovering new dishes! This dish was like ‘wow’ !! So much flavour it’s unreal, again with very few ingredients, as they say – ‘less is more’. The recipe is a modified version of a dish by ‘Mother India’ whom I discovered during a work trip to Glasgow. The original recipe used halibut, but…

Tamarind cod curry ❤️
I love the cultural history behind this dish. Tamarind within any dish gives a natural ‘tangy’ hit which I love, tamarind is also used in my favourite dish – pathia. Both have a similar ‘sweet & sour’ hit from the tamarind and sugar with chilli under notes. This dish traditionally is a dish from South…
Smoked mackerel pâté – a Christmas must 👍🏻
This my friends is a wonderful celebration of a fish that nowadays is underused! The humble mackerel. This simple recipe combines beautiful everyday ingredients to create a bobby dazzler of a dish which is perfect as a starter for Christmas Day or as a nibble in the evening when you’re stuffed due to the over…
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…
Keralan Black Treacle Salmon ❤️
This…..is one of the best Indian inspired dishes I’ve ever made!!! This takes home cooking to another level. The flavours within the dish were insane…yet so simple. Again over the past few days I’ve used two different methods of cooking the fish within one dish, both of which I’ve done before but I wouldn’t have…
Goan fish curry ❤️
After a recent visit to Mowgli I was blown away with the flavours of this dish. I’ve had a number of Goan fish curries from a number of restaurants but nothing as tasty as this!! Goan curries usually have a hot and tangy heat running through them however this was tangy and sweet….and I now…
Prawn Puri ❤️
I love this dish, one of my favourite starters. I’ve wanted to recreate this dish for a while, last night was my first attempt at this. I do agree with the legend Dan Toombs, you can judge a good curry house on its prawn puri. Ingredients- rapeseed oil, 1 star anise, small piece of cinnamon…
King Prawn Madras 🌶
I’ve never ordered a madras or cooked one. I’ll be honest, I have always been put off with the 🌶 symbols on menus. I’ve always had the opinion of ‘flavour over heat’. After cooking this dish my opinion hasn’t changed. For me, this was far too hot. I’ll admit the flavours were there but the…
Kerala fish curry 🍛
This dish might not look nice to the eye but wow. This regional dish from the southern region of Kerala is synonymous with the area due to fresh fish and spices and yes this dish certainly does have a nice kick from the spices. I did hold back with the chilli powder as I was…
Newlyn fish pie
I wanted to cook a dish which was a bit of a traditional nod towards the jubilee. A classic dish written by my food hero and took me back to Cornwall. The recipe was taken from Rick Steins – Fish & Shellfish cook book. Having met Rick a few years ago in Padstow the book…
