Being back in the rat race, seems to not be my thing of late. My brain and body are still lazing about on the couch in front of the television busy binge watching Lost, or whatever other series seemed to have caught my attention. I recently purchased The Travelling Cook recipe book and although the … Continue reading Mutton Kofta with sweet smoked paprika
Fennel sausage with peppers and basil
So apparently there is a book out there called Food revolution or food revelation, of course me being me, I keep getting the name confused. I sitting at my computer typing up this post, within reach of the book, but I am just too lazy to find the book and check the title. This book … Continue reading Fennel sausage with peppers and basil
Mango agua fresca
I would be lying if I told you that I was a healthy fruit juice or water drinker…..LYING in capital letters. I am not a fan of fruit juices, they make my tongue feel funny and water… ew.. sies. When Vitamin water was around, I drank it like it was going out of fashion and … Continue reading Mango agua fresca
Fenugreek and coriander pancakes
The start to this year 2020, has been a terrible one, where food is concerned. If I have cooked 10 homemade dishes, then that is a lot.

Spicy cucumber wedges

I very seldom by it, maybe now and then depending if I come across a recipe that contains it, otherwise you will never find it in our fridge… nope, never. Okay, … Continue reading Courgette and bay
Cauliflower tikka masala
I have never ever been a huge fan of Jamie Oliver’s.

Chicken Fajitas
Whenever I go shopping, I always seem to buy that one random item that I never seem to have use for or that we never use in the house. That item seems to be wraps, I always buy a pack and it just gets piled into the freezer for when I need them in an … Continue reading Chicken Fajitas
Grilled halloumi with pomegranate salsa
In our household, salad is some sort of raita or a patcha chutney. Anything that can be mixed with yoghurt and contains chillies is called a salad in our household. I tried feeding my dad a lettuce based salad once and he went around telling all his friends that I was feeding him rabbit food. … Continue reading Grilled halloumi with pomegranate salsa
Potatoe scones
I never seem to buy enough potatoes whenever I go shopping. Then when I do manage to buy enough potatoes, I never seem to need them and then they start to grow roots and go all juicy and then they get kicked out. Then when I do need potatoes, I have to go out and … Continue reading Potatoe scones
