Samosas are really delicious and I rarely come across people who don’t enjoy eating them, BUT almost everyone I know who makes them, hates making them. Me included, lol! That said, samosas are definitely worth the time and trouble it takes to make them, especially if you can change up the filling like I’ve done […]
Here’s a roundup of some Ramadan Recipes that you may want to stock up on for Ramadan, some you can make ahead of time and freeze, others are better to cook fresh and enjoy on the day you make it – they’re easy, delicious and perfect for iftar time, so what are you waiting for? […]
I love a good frozen snack, some of my favourites are samosas, kebabs and savoury pastries. All of these snacks can be made well in advance and stored until they’re needed. Whilst I do love a good homemade samosa made from fresh dough, sometimes cutting corners and using a staple we all have at home, […]
Adapted from my original Carrot Cake recipe, this tray bake is just as delicious but much easier to make and perfect for sharing. My Coconut and Jam Sponge recipe has proved very popular with all of you and was also featured in a Buzzfeed article, so I decided to adapt my carrot cake recipe into […]
Whenever I write about my recipes I try to provide a little insight into how the recipe came about and it’s origins. Not gonna lie, more often than not my recipes come about through pure experimentation and sometimes from being too lazy to want to cook a proper curry, lol, as was the case for […]
As a child I used to hate desserts with fruits in them; apple crumble, rhubarb crumble and any sort of baked goods with raisins in them, I absolutely loathed them! I just couldn’t bring myself to eat the fruit even though I wanted to at times – my older sister loves fruit desserts and watching […]
Lasagne, lasagne, lasagne, where to start? Very early on in my cooking life I enjoyed making Lasagne for my children aaaand, they really enjoyed eating it too. As my children got older this was one of those dishes they gradually started falling out of love with, which meant I made it less and less. Food […]
Shepherd’s Pie used to be on our dining table at least once or twice a fortnight when my children were younger, it was easy to make and they loved the mushy texture, it made for easy swallowing, lol! As my children have grown their palates have developed and they seem to be more demanding when […]
Bangladeshi food is very versatile and many of the dishes we make are surprisingly good for people with food intolerances. People who avoid gluten or dairy products can enjoy lots of the Desi nashta (snacks) that we make; for example Dali Bora (lentil fritters), Nunor Bora (salted rice flour snacks) and Soi Fita (rice flour […]
This Coconut and Jam Sponge tray bake is a taste of my childhood, in fact it’s a taste many of us can relate to having attended school here in the UK, cake and custard for me was always the best dessert! Served with vanilla custard, this nostalgic treat can take you back to some of […]
