The summer season brings with it an abundance of summer fruits and what better way to enjoy some of these delicious seasonal goodies than to bake a mouthwatering pavlova? Afelia’s Fruity Summer Pavlova is one of my most requested desserts and is a favourite for summer and indeed during Ramadan, because of how light and […]
It really does feel like forever since I’ve sat down to write up a recipe. I’ve had a close family wedding and so many family gatherings in the space of the last two weeks, that I feel like I need time to myself to recover and get back into food blogging mode! I know many […]
This Chicken with Vegetable Empanadas recipe is something I whipped up one evening for dinner. I had an awful lot of carrots and cabbage in my fridge and wanted to use them up, so added them to the filling of my empanadas. A simple seasoned filling, this makes a great lunch box meal for kids […]
This Haddock with Broccoli Pasta is another kitchen experiment that turned out pretty well, so I’m sharing it with you all. It’s really quick and easy to prepare, brilliant for a mid week supper. The fish used in this recipe can be replaced with any fish of your choice – I had originally planned to […]
As a family we love eating bhuna curries. The term bhuna, as I understand it, basically means a curry with a thick gravy, some people like it almost dry, but the consistency can vary depending on your personal preference. We love our bhuna curries with a thick but saucy gravy, loose enough to be able […]
Everyone loves dessert. In fact for some people it’s the best part of a meal. Whilst I’m not really a sweet toothed individual (give me cheese or a packet of crisps over a bar of chocolate any day), I do love a good dairy dessert, yes dairy because anything that involves creamy, buttery, dairy goodness […]
Af’s Filet-O-Fish, perfect for afternoon tea! Growing up I used to love eating the McDonalds Filet-O-Fish, but concerns over whether the ingredients were halal and what oil they fry the fish in meant that I have stopped eating at McDonalds for a long time now. Instead I opt to make this for my kids and […]
We’re well into the second phase of Ramadan, alhamdullilah, the first 10 days have been a blessing with plenty of rain and cool weather to help us ease into the fasting routine, BUT, there are still many more days to go which also means many more days of deciding what to cook for iftar, something […]
There are few things as pleasing as a homemade samosa, I don’t think I’ve ever met anyone who doesn’t like a samosa and it would be unheard of to dislike a homemade one at that! I love homemade samosas but find it difficult to make them regularly, let’s face it they do take a lot […]
It’s always nice being able to make your own homemade snacks from scratch, provided they don’t take hours to make (which is usually the case), so when I developed these Tuna And Cheese Pyramids that didn’t require cooking the filling beforehand, I got rather excited! I’m always one for time saving snacks, which is one of the […]
