I just love discovering new dishes. As you might have gathered due to the nature of my cooking I use & love coriander. I actually love all herbs as they can lift any dish. One particular favourite of mine which I feel is under used is dill. Being more of a fish eater over meat…

Tandoori beer can chicken
This is a dish I’ve wanted to cook for a while, and no better time to cook it on Father’s Day. Nice to put some music on and step into the kitchen to chill out and shut off. The dish itself was very easy to make, getting a chicken to stand up in the oven…
Cod with spiced cabbage
I love discovering new dishes! This dish was like ‘wow’ !! So much flavour it’s unreal, again with very few ingredients, as they say – ‘less is more’. The recipe is a modified version of a dish by ‘Mother India’ whom I discovered during a work trip to Glasgow. The original recipe used halibut, but…
Crab meat over broccoli – Regional dish from Guangdong 🇨🇳
A simple yet stunning dish made with everyday supermarket ingredients. This beautiful dish is a regional dish which originates from Guangdong in China and it is exactly what it says. A beautiful sauce mixed with crab meat and finished off the heat with a whisked egg white which thickens and holds the sauce together is…
Spinach meatball curry
Spinach meatball curry ❤️ – recipe taken from ‘30 minute Mowgli’. Anyone who knows me knows that I love the chain Mowgli. Everything about the chain, recipes, ethos & brand values fascinates me. I love recreating their dishes and recipes all written up by Nisha Katona who dream of opening this restaurant became a reality…

Ingredients- makes 3 toasties 2 tbsp of vegetable oil 1 tsp of cumin seeds Between 10 / 20 curry leaves 1 onion finely diced 3…
Tamarind cod curry ❤️
I love the cultural history behind this dish. Tamarind within any dish gives a natural ‘tangy’ hit which I love, tamarind is also used in my favourite dish – pathia. Both have a similar ‘sweet & sour’ hit from the tamarind and sugar with chilli under notes. This dish traditionally is a dish from South…
Bhindi Aloo Dhabi – (okra and potatoes )❤️
This is a new dish for me on many levels. New as in I’d never attempted it and new as in I’d never eaten okra ❤️. I was inspired to find a recipe and create it after hearing stories from a work colleague about it when he was at home in Indian. I could hear…
Chana gosht ❤️ – lentils & lamb
Two of my favourite ingredients in a single dish, especially in a curry. I love lamb in any curry dish. I think the lamb meat, any cut, holds onto spices better than any other meat. Love a slow cooked lamb dish when the meat flakes apart into the curry. Then there is my favourite side…
Goan prawn curry – easy version ❤️
I love Goan food. Goan fish curries are just sensational. If eating in regional restaurants that specialise in Goan food I’ll always order the fish curry. I love this recipe from Madhur Jaffrey from her ‘Curry Easy’ cookbook. The dish itself only has a few ingredients but flavour wise….wow !!! T This dish is ideal…
