Don’t you just love it when you’re put on the spot and improvise, only to realise you have discovered an excellent recipe? I do too! Afelia’s Falafels were the result of being put on the spot one day when my brother in law turned up at my house (over a year ago) and I discovered to my shock horror […]
A Bengali Roast Chicken (often pronounced as ‘Roosht’, by Bengalis) is often served as a starter to a formal invitation for guests (dawat) or to the start of a wedding meal. This is a very popular dish and is one of the most popular starters amongst Bangladeshis alongside Tandoori Chicken. I’ve never quite understood why […]
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 […]

I don’t recall eating Lamb Shanks like this as a child but I do know my dad would […]

Soi Fita can be eaten as a sweet or savoury dish; fry in ghee till crunchy and drizzle with honey or maple syrup for a sweet treat or serve with lamb/chicken curry for a more substantial meal, try it with my […]
I’ve been baking these Chocolate Brownies for years and they are a huge hit within my own family, as well as with my extended family and guests. A brownie is a cross between a chocolate cake and a soft cookie in texture, these particular ones are very ‘cake-like’ but are moist and dense at the […]
One of my favourite things to eat is Chilli Paneer! Paneer is an Indian cheese made from curdling milk, the solids are squeezed to remove all liquid and subsequently used in cooking. For many Indians who are strict vegetarians, paneer forms an essential part of their diet being a good source of protein. On its own […]
Let’s face it, in an ideal world none of us would have to or want to cook…..right? We would spend less time in the kitchen and more time doing the things we love and why not, it’s totally possible when you have recipes like my Curried Barbecue Wings. I find some of my quickest and tastiest […]
