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 […]
This week has certainly been unpredictable in terms of the weather – we’ve had sun, rain, hail stones with ice cold temperatures and I don’t think it’s about to get better anytime soon.

Here is the recipe for my Russian Salad, many of you asked for after seeing it on my Instagram account. My husband loved this salad and couldn’t tell it had apples in it and he’s not the type of person to enjoy fruits in a salad, if you get what I mean? Lol! On this occasion […]
This Classic Sana Biran recipe is a firm favourite amongst Bangladeshis. The way this dish is cooked, being quite dry, means it is typically served during Ramadan alongside kisuri/kitchdi, which is a thick porridge like soup made from rice. There are two varieties of chickpeas that are usually cooked in this way; one being referred to as […]
