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 […]
Adapted from my original Carrot Cake recipe, this tray bake is just as delicious but much easier to make and perfect for sharing. My Coconut and Jam Sponge recipe has proved very popular with all of you and was also featured in a Buzzfeed article, so I decided to adapt my carrot cake recipe into […]
As a child I used to hate desserts with fruits in them; apple crumble, rhubarb crumble and any sort of baked goods with raisins in them, I absolutely loathed them! I just couldn’t bring myself to eat the fruit even though I wanted to at times – my older sister loves fruit desserts and watching […]
Bangladeshi food is very versatile and many of the dishes we make are surprisingly good for people with food intolerances. People who avoid gluten or dairy products can enjoy lots of the Desi nashta (snacks) that we make; for example Dali Bora (lentil fritters), Nunor Bora (salted rice flour snacks) and Soi Fita (rice flour […]
This Coconut and Jam Sponge tray bake is a taste of my childhood, in fact it’s a taste many of us can relate to having attended school here in the UK, cake and custard for me was always the best dessert! Served with vanilla custard, this nostalgic treat can take you back to some of […]
Did I tell you I love bread? I did? Well that’s good because I do! I am a total breadaholic and I honestly can’t imagine my life without it. Whether we’re talking regular baked loaves, buns, bagels or flat breads, I love them all. When I shop for groceries I can spend ages in the […]
Shakshuka (also known as Shakshouka, Chakchouka) is a North African/Middle Eastern breakfast dish which is super simple and delicious to make. You can also enjoy this as a light lunch or afternoon meal, I like to make this at the weekends for a quick easy brunch when the kids want something hot and filling. If […]
This week we’ve had some seriously cold weather here in the UK, weather that calls for hot drinks and woolly socks, not to forget those all important gloves when heading outdoors. With the change of weather (and clothing) we also need food that fuels us and keeps us warm but not just any food, comfort […]
At home I try my best to incorporate vegetarian meals into our diets, I feel my kids are far too carnivorous when it comes to food and it can prove a mission to get them to eat dishes made entirely from vegetables or pulses. This was one of the reasons I developed this Lentil Bake, using […]
You’ll probably laugh at me when I tell you about my very first paneer experience, but bear in mind this was about 20 odd years ago and I didn’t have a clue what paneer was, let alone how to cook it! I was making lasagne for dinner and asked my husband to buy some cheese […]
