I haven’t posted for a while as I’ve had too many personal distractions. However, the cooking has helped. I’ve put a lot of focus into cooking authentic dishes whilst still cooking ‘westernised recipes’. The ‘authentic’ dishes have a completely different make up and method to the westernised dishes which I find more appealing. Westernised dishes…

Korean salmon & broccoli tray bake ❤️
This beautiful simple dish has to be one of the easiest things I’ve made yet one of the tastiest!! Again, looking to remove the meat content and focus on fish. A simple marinade, humble ingredients, then roasting in the oven, as simple as it gets, especially as the marinade consists of 5 ingredients!!!! The star…
Punjabi chickpea curry ❤️
Whilst this dish may sound complicated it really isn’t. Like most dishes, it’s easy to get put off by processes but this dish is so simple to make and so rewarding. I’ve cooked a few different versions of a chickpea curry and most authors offer a slightly different regional take on them, they are all…
Simple…yet stunning chilli con carne ❤️
Well….at the age of 48 as I write this….I’ve just cooked my first chilli con carne from scratch!! I love this dish! Had it so many times over the years but I’ve always stayed away from making it myself. To help me relax I decided to bite the bullet and have a go myself. I…
Punjabi paneer & peas 👌
Recently I’ve been eating too much meat and having recent purchased a new cook book from someone I’ve been following on Instagram I thought this was the perfect recipe to make on a warm weekday night. I’ve many paneer recipes and cooked a number of different versions of this recipe but it’s good to have…

Simple Katsu curry sauce with scampi ❤️🍤
After all the exercise and walking this week again I was thinking of a quick and simple meal I could throw together. What better than to put a pan of rice on, oven on and scampi roasting away on a baking tray and a curry sauce which takes less than 10 minutes to make?? Nothing…
Chicken & banana korma – it will blow your mind !!
Chicken & banana korma !!Yes you read that correctly!! Recipe taken from Nisha Katona’s cookbook called ‘Bold’. The whole books concept is about taking familiar recipes and being ‘Bold’ by stepping outside of the box….it has my name written all over it. I’ve never been one for ‘doing what’s always been done’ or ‘that’s the…
Homemade wild garlic pesto ❤️
As I write this in the middle of April spring is firmly taking its grip. Flowers are looking great as the bulbs are breaking through and the garden & countryside is starting to thrive. We have a brook near to where we live which every year is covered in wild garlic. The smell literally draws…
Simple & easy Pathia ❤️
I’ve blogged before about my love for a pathia. Pathia was my first introduction to Indian food aged 19 from a little restaurant in Coleshill. It’s one of those food memories you’ll never forget. I love this ‘hot, sweet & sour’ dish. A perfect mix of flavours basically created by Kashmiri chill powder, sugar, mango…
