This is the second time I made this dish. The first time, when I attempted it my father got food poisoning the night before and refused to eat anything acidic for breakfast. So that meat even though I had spent the night before chopping 6 tomatoes to make this chutney, he was not interested in … Continue reading Bombay eggs
Quick shells and cheese
Who doesn’t love a bowl of warm comfort carbs, loaded with cheese??? I certainly do… I could pasta every day of my life in every form, shape and size. After a month of not cooking a proper meal, I decided to get back into the game with this dish. It was super easy to make … Continue reading Quick shells and cheese
Lemony greenbeans
Growing up we only had green beans one way, in a curry. Never have I ever had greenbeans any other way, like grilled or sauted or steamed and not even raw. I tired eating raw once, after seeing my swimming coach’s wife munching down on them during a training session. I mean if she was … Continue reading Lemony greenbeans
Sour cream mash potatoes
Growing up mash potatoe was simple and straight forward. Boiled till soft, drained and then mashed with a masher, milk was mixed in as well as butter and a sprinkle of freshly grated nutmeg. Then it evolved to where I started using a whisk to make it light and fluffy and then it evolved yet … Continue reading Sour cream mash potatoes
Tiffany’s meat loaf
I have never eaten a meatloaf before. I always hear them talking about meatloaf on the television and I always hear how they complain about how bad meat loaf is and they also seem to crumble when they hear that meatloaf is for dinner. Meatloaf is not something I ever heard of being made in … Continue reading Tiffany’s meat loaf
Eggless chocolate cake with fresh cream and caramel
When my uncle was alive, all he could do was nag and nag me for fresh cream cakes or moist chocolate cakes. Every time he saw me, those were the first things out of his mouth. Of course my mother would shout me and tell me not to encourage him, it was not good for … Continue reading Eggless chocolate cake with fresh cream and caramel
Creamy almond, pistachio rice pudding
I have never attempted to make a rice pudding in my life. To tell you the truth, I don’t think my mother ever made one for us growing up. I once saw Mary Berry making one on her cooking show, but the process didn’t appeal to me. Before my world got thrown upside down and … Continue reading Creamy almond, pistachio rice pudding
Chai spiced vermicelli
Being Indian we use vermicelli in practically everything from making pies to dessert and sometimes in food but never ever have I thought of using it for breakfast. I was greatly mistaken. I came across this recipe in Nadiyah’s cookbook and although the recipe was found under the breakfast section of the book, when the … Continue reading Chai spiced vermicelli
Bombay potatoes
I never really sat back and looked at my pantry at all the things in there. It just seems that I always have ingredients in there when I need it. 3 weeks of not stopping every other day at the stores and stocking up on odds and ends and of not filling up the fruit … Continue reading Bombay potatoes
Fish finger lasagne
I could almost feel my pores clogging with oil when I read the word fish fingers in this recipe. Growing up, fish fingers were not one of the items that were ever found in the freezer, it wasn’t even an item that was ordered when we went out for breakfast. Don’t get me wrong, there … Continue reading Fish finger lasagne
