Macchi (fish) Tikka and dhal ❤️

Four reasons for loving this dish. 1. The recipe was taken from the Legendary Dishoom and anyone who knows anything about Indian food will know they have a cult status in Mumbai ( or Bombay as they refer to it in the cook book as they prefer history). 2. My love for fish. 3. My…

Red lentil & vegetable kebabs 👍

My food hero Rick Stein ❤️

This week I’ve been reminded of my love affair for Cornwall, food & Rick Stein. I discovered a podcast interview with Jack Stein done by an Australian chef called Gary Mehigan.
