Growing up Mediterranean food wasn’t something that I was exposed to, I still remember the very first time I tried stuffed vine leaves (one of my first experiences of eating Mediterranean food), it was at my Turkish friend’s 16th birthday party and her mum had hand made an array of delightful dishes. I can’t remember […]
It’s no secret that we love pies in my family! Some of our favourites are Quorn Pie (recipe to be shared soon), Chicken Pie, Shepherd’s Pie, Salmon & Pea Pie, Fisherman’s Pie, I mean I could go on forever but you get the point, right? It really is a perfect meal, all you need are […]
Subscribe to my YouTube Channel now I love shopping and will jump at the chance at any given opportunity, even when I know I need to cook for lunch and don’t have anything prepared…..now that’s what I call dedication, lol! But hey, why worry when you can come home and have a 30 Minute Chicken Karahi […]
These savoury rice flour snacks are a taste which take me back to my childhood; my mum would make these fresh at the weekend and she would serve it with a meat or chicken curry, simply delicious! A popular morning/afternoon snack in Bangladesh, Nunor Bora are commonly served on the day of Eid (Muslim celebration). They are […]
Nobody makes an omelette as mean and as tasty as Bangladeshis do! Call me biased (I am Bengali after all) but until you’ve tasted this you’ll never realise the true potential of the humble omelette. Classic Enda Biran is an authentic Bangladeshi omelette which is so flavoursome it’s actually good enough to eat (with rice) […]
Ever since I can remember I have always enjoyed eating chicken on the bone, the breast pieces have never been my first choice when it comes to eating a curry and my kids are exactly the same. I mean don’t you find chicken breasts dry once cooked? They’re perfect for marinating and grilling or shredding into pies […]
Fish has and always will be a huge part of my diet. I fondly recall my parents taking us to the market and buying fresh fish at the weekends; Mackerels, Sardines, Salmon, Sprats etc. and all sorts of Bangladeshi fish (Ilish, Rohu, Ayr, Baim to name a few) were always present at our dining table. Seabream is […]
Prepare to be surprised by my Pear Surprise recipe, another one of my experiments in the kitchen! I had some leftover Madeira cake that wasn’t being eaten so I decided to pair it up with some canned pear halves and a whipped cream dessert topping. Similar to a trifle but without all the jelly making […]
Lamb Shanks are popular in many cultures/cuisines and not just in Bangladeshi cuisine. It’s a dish many people have grown up eating and adoring, but never thought of actually cooking, because it seems like an arduous task. I don’t recall eating Lamb Shanks like this as a child but I do know my dad would […]
