Having been previously been a pescatarian fish for me is my preferred food to eat. Also my food hero being Rick Stein I’m naturally swung towards fish. I’ve cooked several versions of this dish previously, one being from Rick’s book – India. This recipe was taken from a local author and her new & 1st…

Bombay Aloo 👌
I cooked this dish part of a multi dish evening with friends. If I’m honest it was meant to be a side dish but it actually ended up being the star of the show. Not only did it feed 4 adults it fed another friend who took some home the following day. Ingredients- 4 tbsp…
The simplicity of a beautiful parsley sauce ❤️
It’s my aim for 2024 to focus in on basic cooking skills. Whilst I’d say I’m competent making Indian based dishes I need to improve or take my home cooking to another level. Last night I put this dish together off the top of my head due to ingredients we had left over from Christmas….
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…
Mowgli ‘angry bird chicken’ with left over dhal & Jalfrezi
This dish was inspired from my first ever visit to Mowgli’s in Birmingham New Street station. Just couldn’t believe I’d never been there before, the menu being based on street food just blew me away, to the point I went out purchased their book the following day!! I’ve already made several dishes which have really…
Egg & lentil curry
I haven’t posted in a while. Life has taken over but the cooking hasn’t stopped. If anything the cooking has increased trying to find the ultimate way of shutting off. I cooked this dish after I’d worked in Leeds for the day which is as 230 mile round trip leaving early and getting home late….
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…
Sichuan chilli tomato chicken & steamed rice
This dish may not feed the eye but it certainly fed the stomach. Still getting to grips with basic Chinese cooking but this dish was a delight to make and eat. The recipe again was taken from Ching-He Huang’s – Ching’s Fast Food cook book. As I’ve previously mentioned this cook breaks down Chinese cooking…
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…
Chicken Rezala
I made this a couple of weeks ago, the last dish of note that I’ve cooked due to a number of distractions. This dish itself is a wholesome dish packed with flavour, it’s a take on a tikka masala but with more of a punch! Ingredients- 3 tbsp of rapeseed oil, 2 tbsp of garlic…
