Who wants to glug a freezing cold smoothie in the colder months? Not me. I do like the simplicity and nutritional kick of a smoothie though, so I often make hot smoothies instead. Sounds a little weird, but they really don’t have to taste like soup. Go for oaty/malty flavours or fresh fruity flavours (never a combination of the two!!) and you can keep that smoothie maker out all through winter....
Dal is dalicious which is one reason why they’re so popular. The fact that a dried pantry staple easily transforms and creates something comforting and is also coincidentally is also high in protein content makes it very attractive to cooks. Is a Dal a Soup or Stew? This is where words become tricky and I feel a little uncomfortable describing dal as a soup or a stew simply because they are all different types of foods that might appear similar on the surface but are in fact, quite disparate....

Most North Indian recipes that I prepare were learnt from a friend’s mother who hails from Delhi and cooks the best aloo gobi and aloo paranthas and its no exaggeration. 🙂 Today’s recipe is also from her which is one of the numerous versions of alu methi she prepares. This recipe calls for the addition of tomatoes and goes great with rotis but I like it with rice also. 1 Add big pinch salt + big pinch sugar to the methi leaves and let it rest for a few mts....
Aloo Palak is a North Indian vegetarian, iron-rich, vibrant green curry featuring pureed spinach and potatoes that are simmered in spices and flavored with dried fenugreek leaves and fresh cream. Makes for light, healthy and creamy textured curry and goes well with phulkas or parathas. 1 Heat oil in a heavy bottomed vessel, add cumin seeds and let them splutter.

[feast_advanced_jump_to] This dish takes me right back to our holiday in Florida a few years ago. A stop off at Bonefish Grill on a day out – we started our meal with Bang Bang Shrimp, and wow! So delicious! I was reminded of them when we had a similar version in our hometown recently – served from a hatch at a restaurant (I love how restaurants have adapted so brilliantly to lockdown conditions) so we could enjoy them by the sea....
Now that we live in a seaside town in the south of England, we’ve found fish and chips are, quite literally the lifeblood of the area around us. Our local fishmonger is brilliant (shout out to Darren at High Tide Fisheries), so we’re lucky enough to get amazing fresh fish in nice big portions – perfect for this chip-shop style fish! That golden, crunchy, salty coating and tender flakes of fish are a match made in heaven!...
I originally published this recipe in 2019 and have since added new photos, a video tutorial, and helpful success tips. I wasn’t going to publish this recipe because, really, how many ways can one make a rice krispie treat? (Hello, cake batter rice krispie treats, pumpkin pie rice krispie treats, and s’mores rice krispie treats from forever ago!) The internet is flooded with these classic marshmallow-cereal squares, but I figured you might like to know how I’ve been making them over the years…?...

Forever my favorite Thanksgiving side dish, these classic candied sweet potatoes make an appearance on our holiday table every year. (I’m surprised I haven’t shared the recipe with you before—these are the best!) In fact, we love them so much that we don’t limit this recipe to only once per year. I love these for Christmas, Easter, or a random Sunday night throughout the year. They’re full of flavor and as far as Thanksgiving side dishes go, they’re REALLY easy....

We don’t really see Chicken Parmesan in Italian restaurants in the UK. If I do see it though, that’s what I’m ordering. It’s that perfect combo of crispy chicken with rich marinara sauce, stretchy melted mozzarella and a nice big pile of spaghetti. Carbs+Fat+Salt+Crunch+Tang – it’s got it all!! I’ve got to admit, when I first had Chicken Parmesan with spaghetti, I thought it looked a little strange. I don’t know if it’s a UK thing, but a big piece of chicken just doesn’t seem right with spaghetti....
If you look at my Top Posts & Pages widget on the sidebar, I’m willing to bet there are at least two Asian-inspired recipes on there. You guys seems to love the Chinese stir fry’s, sticky-spicy combos like my Crispy Sesame Chicken and curries like my Beef Massaman, so I’m hoping you’re going to love this one too! Not gonna lie – it takes a little bit of effort, as you need to deep-fry the crispy chicken tenders first – if you want really crispy, juicy chicken strips....
Well Halloween is done. Just bonfire night to go before the Christmas madness begins. Do you got to a fireworks display or have one at home? We go to a display at our local park pretty much every year. We’re very lucky because the park is so close to us – through a bit of woodland, down some steps and we’re there. So every bonfire night we get our wellies on and navigate down the steps with torches and backpacks full of goodies....
And then there are pomegranates! Pomegranates are one of the most beautiful fruits to behold during a season that’s usually enveloped in shades of yellow to brown. This pink fruit stands out in every way possible. The perfect balance of color, sweet and tartness enclosed in a ball. This layer cake is my ode to the pomegranate. It draws inspiration from the Mediterranean, the Middle East and the South, it’s a cake as diverse as its flavors....
This dessert recipe yields a 9-inch square pan of cheesecake brownies. Imagine biting into coconut cream pie, brownies, and cheesecake all at once—that’s what you’ll get here. Unapologetically rich and totally unforgettable! Tell Me About These Coconut Cheesecake Brownies Flavor: I’ve made a lot of from-scratch brownie recipes before, but I really enjoy this one because the brownies remain soft, don’t dry out, and are intensely chocolatey. (We can thank the cocoa powder and vegetable oil/butter combination for all that!...
