Chicken Stir Fry with Oyster Sauce and Chilli
This is a dish for broke days, days when you don’t have much time to cook or even the days you want something really tasty that won’t leave you feeling bloated. I really enjoyed this dish and I felt great after eating it. It is full of goodness with all the veggies it contains. Make […]
Chicken Egg Foo Young
Egg Foo Young is an amazing dish but unfortunately every time I have had it in a Chinese here it has been terrible and more like a bad omelette than a delicious Egg Foo Young should be. I am not a fan of the taste of eggs, I will only eat the yolk usually. This […]
Hot Whiskey Smoked BBQ Salmon
Most people don’t bbq fish choosing instead to go with bbq meat packs from the supermarket or butcher or even using frozen burgers and sausages. To me this is a real shame because a bbq can be used to cook so much more and better food that doesn’t really cost much more and sometimes even […]
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 […]
