Beetroot curry – yup you read that correctly !!! šŸ‘šŸ»

This dish has fascinated me for many years. A popular dish in India and Sri Lanka. It’s fascinated me due to the fact you are taking a very humble ingredient ā€˜the beetroot’ to be the star of the show! Many many versions of this dish have the beetroot cooked in coconut milk to have a…

Vietnamese fish sauce chicken wings !

This dish isn’t for the faint hearted!!! Not the taste or heat from the chillies……but the smell of fish sauce! The fermented fish which is how the sauce is created really causes the kitchen to have a lasting strong smell!! If you can get over the smell, this is quite a nice tasting and cheap…

šŸŒ¶ļøChicken Vindaloo…..potential stingeršŸŒ¶ļø

Very nervous about cooking this dish. All the cooking I do is based around flavour rather than wanting to blow my head off with heat and lose the ability to enjoy the meal. When I see those ‘macho’ guys sitting in a restaurant trying to convince their friends and family they are enjoying the meal…

Goan fish curry – delicious ā¤ļø

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.

After recent times, kitchen time was needed. I’ve not felt like posting for a while as I’ve not done much cooking, however this little gem cooked last night sparked a little flame inside.

Old fashioned Delhi style lamb bhuna ā¤ļø

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 ā€˜westernised recipes’. The ā€˜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 ā¤ļø

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 ā¤ļø

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…

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…
