Firstly, I’d like to apologise to the French for this recipe. I can only imagine the kind of chaos an eggless banana and cardamom crème brûlée would cause. It’s not even the cool sort of chaos. I’ve been working on this recipe for eggless crème brûlée for a while now and I think it’s about …
I have decided that the intial plan of selecting a winner from the three recipes that came top in the poll should be flushed down the loo. The entries were too good. The top THREE (not two) contestants will ALL recieve prizes for the fantastic recipes they sent in. Of course the winner, Mr P of Delicious Delicious Delicious will …
s After falling in love with paneer kofta, I decided that I wanted everyone to be able to enjoy my recipe for soft, delicious kofta in that silky sauce- minus the paneer. I know that paneer isn’t to everyone’s liking due to its high fat content and trust me, you will never miss the paneer …
Today’s Daily Express contains rainbow chicks. I’m not actually a newspaper reader minus the occasional read of The Times online. I seem to prefer television news, a.k.a the lazy woman’s global events guru. I digress. My mum told me that there was a little story about rainbow chicks in the Daily Express today.

Let me introduce you to the most wonderful breakfast/brunch/lunch in the whole entire world. Well, almost. Not counting ice cream. Ice cream IS a breakfast item, right? Poha (pronounced: puhwa) are cooked, flattened and dehydrated grains of basmati rice. You can find them in most Indian grocery stores packed in regular plastic bags. The bateta part …
My crystal ball confirms that the ever popular dish, palak paneer (spinach and Indian cheese) will eternally remain the elite veggie choice on Indian restaurant menus. Nobody can resist that luscious texture of pureed spinach combined with supple, dense and addictive paneer. Oh that reminds me, I mustn’t forget to visit the doctor for my …
Hey Bob. I mean readers. You like what I did there? How are you all? Jammin’? If not then you will be after reading this post. After relishing the Spiced Apple Chutney I made a few months ago, I decided to take things a couple of steps further. Possibly due to the fact that oodles …
