Tandoori pasta 👍. Making use of leftovers ❤️

I hate wasting food. I had some tandoori mix left in the fridge which had been marinating for 24 hours. This only had a few pieces of chicken in so I added mushrooms and red peppers to the mix and coated everything with the amazing flavour mix. This mix was allowed to sit for 30…

My love for a pie!!!

I returned home from work on Wednesday 12th May to find a large parcel in the kitchen addressed to me. Within this parcel was a selection of pies which you automatically knew took pie making to another level. In life we have people that leave an impact on you. Within my work place I have…
