Valentine’s Day is next week. Typically, I don’t expect anything from M, I’d rather he gave me a nice gift daily for the rest of the 364 days of the year, I can even compromise to once a week or month. You know, it is important to feel special. But this year was particularly tricky, M was out in Australia for work and missed the Super Bowl (he missed his annual wing fiesta and yelling at the TV session) and he also doesn’t care for chocolate as much as I do....

Chiroti is a traditional Karnataka sweet that is prepared on special occasions and religious festivals. It is also a very popular dessert in traditional Maharastra cuisine and is called Chirote.

What started off as a pie ended up as a tart! Honestly, sometimes, it can be hard to predict where things can end up, even in the kitchen.

I’m delving into my 5 years experience working in a fried chicken shop as a teenager for this one. Whilst I was there, I learned how to joint the chicken, then we’d coat it in a special flour mixture (not a wet batter), and then it would be deep-fried in a big heavy-duty a pressure fryer. Of course, we’re having to do it without a pressure fryer at home, but you can still get perfect crispy-coating results from deep-frying it in a pan or a deep fat fryer....

But it is also rich with a vibrant food scene full of people that are passionate about the food they create and also deeply connected to the land they produce it from....
