Zanzibar Coconut Chicken Curry

Zanzibar Coconut Chicken Curry

Returning from our incredible honeymoon in Zanzibar left me desperate for some of the delicious flavours we experienced over there.  We ate our fill of fresh curries, some sweet, some spicy, some dry, some with thick sauces, and I hope I picked up a few

Slow-Roasted, Indian Spiced Leg of Lamb with Pomegranate, Pistachios & Mint

There’s something about a roast lunch that makes a Sunday so special.  And it’s even better when you can just pop it in the oven, forget about it for hours, spend time with your guests and just take it out when its done.  Previously I’ve

Parmigiano Reggiano – Nacho Cups & Cheesy Blinis – Festive Canapés

Parmigiano Reggiano is a delicious, hard cheese, produced in Emilia Romagna, in Northern Italy.  We all know it as Parmesan and I’m thrilled to be partnering with Parmigiano Reggiano to show you two fabulous seasonal canapé recipes that I’ve created with this delicious cheese. The

As my Haricot Bean Houmous (Navy Bean Hummus) turned out so well, I decided to have another go at it but experiment with the flavours.  I love Roasted Red Pepper Houmous so I decided to re-create that version using fresh ingredients instead of a store-bought

Curry is a great choice on a grain-free diet.  In fact, I already have recipes on the blog for my Spicy Chicken Curry and my Zanzibar Coconut Chicken Curry.  Most authentic curry houses don’t use any thickeners in their sauces.  If they make it fresh,

Looking for a light and refreshing side dish to pair with my Asian Style, Sweet Chilli Salmon, I was immediately drawn to something citrussy and decided to create a Lemon Cauliflower Rice to cut through the sweetness of the salmon.  I love the flavour of 

Mango Salsa

I fancied a change today from my Tomato Salsa so I came up with this mango version of a classic!  Sweeter and more summery than traditional salsa but still packing a punch from the chilli, this is a great alternative and it’s perfect with vegetable 

Spicy Chicken Curry with Cauliflower ‘Rice’

Spicy Chicken Curry with Cauliflower ‘Rice’

I like my curries flavourful and quite spicy.  I’m not a huge fan of the creamy ones or the mild, coconutty ones, I prefer them to pack a punch so I went about creating one to warm us up on a wet, rainy English summer

I don’t like to buy dips from the supermarket.  I find that 99 times out of 100 they will have sugar added, which is so unnecessary (it hides in everything these days) or some sort of binder like potato starch or maize/rice flour or guar 

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
