Who doesn’t love prawns??? I could eat prawns every day of the week, in any shape and size. With that being said, I very seldom cook prawns. The cleaning is just too much work for me and my dad frightened me once by telling me they have worms in their heads and when I buy … Continue reading Prawn pathia curry

How do you think that is going??? Well its been a week since I set that resolution and I have … Continue reading Green omelette
Stained glass biscuits
I have seen these biscuits made over and over again on Instagram and facebook. Whenever I watch these videos, I am in awe of them and wonder where on earth I am supposed to get these crushed sweets to make these biscuits. Someone told me to use boiled sweets… never heard of those, another told … Continue reading Stained glass biscuits
Custard biscuits
I never use custard powder to make anything. If I need to use custard, I buy the ready made cartons from the store. With that being said, I still managed to find a tub of custard powder in the pantry. Not sure who put it there or how it even got there, but it was … Continue reading Custard biscuits
Indian short bread
With this freezing cold weather knocking on the door every waking moment, the last thing I feel like doing is standing up straight and making food.

I always tend to buy takeaways that day but seeing as my waist line is starting to resemble a take away menu, I thought I would try and eat more home made meals.

Apple and bean salad
Every other week, when I walk down the fruit and veg isle looking for inspiration, I always seem to hover around the apples and land up buying a pack.

Chocolate toasted sarmies
When I first started my culinary journey, I was hooked to The Great British bake off and I bought tons and tons of recipe books by the bake off and buy the contestants. 4 years down the road, and only now am I finally getting around to trying recipes from those books. Last year my … Continue reading Chocolate toasted sarmies
Father’s day trifle
Every weekend my dad cries like a baby that he is craving trifle. Which under normal circumstances in our household literally only gets made for Christmas dessert. Secondly, jelly contains bovine gelatine, and the store bought swiss roll contains eggs, which are both on my mother’s do not eat list, so trifle is out of … Continue reading Father’s day trifle
