Chicken Biryani
This is a really simple dish that’s packed with flavour. You can use chicken, prawns, lamb or veggies or just use mushroom and peas to make an awesome Pilau to go with any of my curries. You can make this with any rice but basmati is best. I use a rice cooker and highly recommend […]
Crispy Sweet Potato Wedges
How do you get sweet potato fries or wedges crispy? This is a question I get asked a lot, I learnt to do it in work so had no idea so many struggled to make them crispy. The secret is to add the salt and hour before so it helps drain moisture from the sweet […]
Whole Roast Thai Chicken
Most of us are familiar with the traditional roast chicken in some form or other. This is a simple twist on this. It makes a great family meal or is even better portioned before cooking then cooking on the BBQ. The longer you can leave it marinade the better so try to give it 2 […]
Sweet Vegetable Soup
As always, I generally don’t bother making soup unless I think there’s a chance the kids will eat it. That, unfortunately, means nothing like lentils or barley and not a lump or bump in sight. So I always try to come up with a combo of flavours they’ll enjoy while at the same time […]
Spicy Turkey & Vegetable stew
Turkey mince is something that’s easy to find in supermarkets and it’s pretty cheap to buy. It’s also a really lean meat so it’s great for anyone who, like me, tries to eat healthily most of the time. This dish is jam packed with vegetables and proteins from the chickpeas and beans. I have this […]
Winter Vegetable Soup
This is a really child friendly recipe – my three kids always love when I make it. It’s cheap, quick and easy – the only equipment you need is a stick blender or jug blender to make it nice and smooth. I make a few different combinations of vegetable soup but this is one I […]
Chickpea & Veggie Burgers
So, many of you have asked me to share this recipe with you. First off, I’d like to clarify that I’m not a chef by any stretch of the imagination, but I do love cooking and experimenting in the kitchen. I love trying new things and creating healthy meals (and not so healthy ones!) for […]
Japanese Style Tempeh with Noodles and Cheats Kimchi
This dish is not only a feast for the eyes, it’s delicious, combining the deeply savoury tempeh and zing of pickled red cabbage. It’s also clean, really healthy and vegan. Tempeh is a fermented soya product that uses the whole soybean, unlike tofu. As it uses the whole bean it has a higher protein and […]
Ramen with Chicken and Pak Choi
Ramen is a Japanese noodle soup with meat and veggies of various kinds added. It is a great dish as it is healthy and really refreshing. It takes a little more time to make than most other recipes I post but is seriously worth it. Once the chicken stock is made the actual dish doesn’t […]
