I don’t tend cook a lot of Asian Recipes – I prefer Mediterranean foods, and the balance of flavours and spices in Asian cooking tends to be a little out of my comfort zone – (I’m working on it).  My Asian Sticky Chicken Thighs were

(Zucchini Noodles – Zoodles – with Garlic, Chilli & Jumbo Shrimp) Apparently, there is a courgette (zucchini) shortage in London (I’m actually not joking) that I was completely unaware of.  My mum told me about it – it’s been on the news and everything!  From

Chicken Fajita Lettuce Wraps

Chicken Fajita Lettuce Wraps

Dinner tonight was going to be chicken skewers done on our new BBQ, but the Great British Summer had other ideas!  Not the nicest of evenings so I had a quick re-think and settled on chicken fajitas (done in lettuce wraps for me – tortillas for

Heading home for Father’s Day, the plan was for my brother and I to cook lunch for my dad – hopefully a BBQ, but in England you always need a backup plan in case the weather doesn’t cooperate. Luckily, the weather looked as if it
