It may be unusual to you, but to me I grew up eating Okra. I actually went through a mad phase of demanding my Mum to cook it once a week for me (is that weird?). My brother however is not a fan! I like to discover new ingredients whenever I can, otherwise I would…

The Comforts of Baking
I have to admit it, I have the baking bug. If everything I wanted to make wasn’t made from butter, cream or sugar, I would most likely bake everyday. But then again if I did this, baking wouldn’t be such a treat. The nation has gone baking mad, with the rising popularity of The Great…
Chapatis!
Chapatis are a staple food in our Indian culture and is found regularly in our homes. They are so easy to make (after a bit of practice) and taste great with all different types of curries. Dipped in lentil daal or used to dive into a spicy fish or chicken curry, chapatis are delicious. I remember…
Balls! Energy balls ;)
So I am always looking for a quick snack in the afternoon in between lunch and dinner and stumbled across this recipe from Donal Skehan (link below). I changed it slightly only because I made them from whatever was in my cupboard, rather than going to the shops and buying the whole of the baking…

New York! New York!

Herbs! Glorious herbs!
So I have recently started growing my own herbs in the garden (and when I say this I mean my mother in law is looking after them for me. I can’t even look after dried flowers) and I’ve been using them in my cooking more and more. I never realised just how much of a…
Homemade Fries
Ok so this is another treat! But my nephew came to stay and I decided to treat him. I thought I would try and make my own chips but fry them this time. So I chopped my potatoes (with the skin on to give it a rustic look) into thin chips and par boiled them…
Why not make your own Granola bar?
Ok so I don’t know about you but I am always hungry. I get hungry half an hour after a meal and I have no idea why. But I can’t keep eating! So I decided to make my own granola bar to give me some energy and keep me going. These are made with oats,…
Want a healthy snack? Try crispy chickpeas!
Have you ever wanted a bit of a healthier snack than some nuts covered in salt or granola bars filled with sugar? I know I have. I discovered a few recipes on roasting chickpeas in the oven. So I decided to give it a go! I simply drained a can of chickpeas and patted them…
