During Ramadan 2018, you may have seen me create themed Iftar tables, one of which was an Italian themed table. I made a variety of homemade pizzas using this recipe and in keeping with the Italian theme, decided to make cannoli for dessert. The problem I encountered when searching online for a cannoli recipe was […]
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 […]
Mini Afelia, AKA my daughter, loves the recipes she learns at school. In fact, so do I! These Rock Buns were originally made in her Food Tech class (they never called it that in my day, we knew it as Home Economics, meh!) and we’ve had an overload of these buns lately. It so happens […]
Afelia’s Buttermilk Cupcakes were whipped up one day when me and my daughter were baking in late 2015. Using buttermilk is something I enjoy in my cupcakes as I find it tends to produce a softer, fluffier cake. The addition of buttermilk always adds a softness and spongy texture to any sort of bake, whether it’s cakes […]
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 […]
So here is how to make my Superfast Pitta Bread Pizzas! This is the quick version, the original recipe involves cooking the tomato sauce with a few more ingredients and definitely has a fuller flavour (which means it is superior in terms of taste), but when you’re pressed for time this is a great alternative! If […]
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’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 […]
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 […]
These fritters have to be without a doubt one of the most consumed snacks during Ramadan in the vast majority of Bangladeshi households, they’re called fiyazi/fiyaza in Bengali. My family can munch on these moreish Dali Bora (Lentil Fritters) bites on any occasion and being my eldest brother’s favourite snack, I often prepare this along with […]
