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…

Kung Po Chicken with steamed Jasmine rice.
Chinese cooking has fascinated me for years, how flavours can be brought together at speed. My first ever takeaway when at middle school was king prawns and tomatoes with egg fried rice and I can remember it like yesterday. Trying to get my head around the flavours and speed it was cooked in from a…
Punjabi chicken curry
A traditional dish from India. A dish that brings all the flavours together brilliantly. I really enjoy cooking traditional dishes as this helps me understand the balance of spice & flavours. You can then bring this to the westernised dishes that I’m trying to perfect. Traditional recipes aren’t as complex as you’d think…if you get…
Indo-Chinese sweet & sour chicken 👍
A perfect mixture of Indian food meeting Chinese food ❤️. I’ve known of this dish for a number of years through a work colleague but never got round to cooking it. Last night as I was cooking for myself and not really hungry I just fancied something simple which I could pick at…..problem is…..I couldn’t…
Broccoli curry – Something different 👍
Vegetarian curries are the norm in India. They are a cheap and modest mainstay of society. I’ve cooked quite a few different vegetable curries whilst I’ve been on my food journey as I want to experience as much of the traditional food as I can as I ultimately know I’ll never get the chance to…
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…
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…
Lamb Jalfrezi – the perfect way to unwind on a Friday night ❤️
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…
Beef Panang Curry
I made this a week or so ago and finally catching up as I didn’t know what to write about this this. Let me explain. With a lot going on I’ve not been focused enough to blog my thoughts, plus who cares about my thoughts…right? Thai food fascinates me. I do think though with Thai…
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…
