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…

How to get your Sweet Potato Wedges crispy…
I don’t know about you but I have always struggled to get my sweet potato wedges crispy. Without deep frying them, I couldn’t understand why they were a bit soggy? Then I realised that this is what sweet potato is like! It’s soft and difficult to get crispy unless coated in something. I ordered some…
Homemade Chicken Kiev…Yum!
So tonight’s dinner was homemade chicken kiev and I have to say it was much better than a processed one. Yes it takes a little bit more time but its worth it! I’ve seen so many chefs make it in so many different ways, but this is what works for me. I make my own garlic…
Homemade Onion Bhaji’s
So I’ve been building up my portfolio and for me that means more cooking! I decided to stick to my roots and cook something from my background. So I thought what does everyone love to eat? The British tend to love onion bhaji’s so I thought I’d give it a go. I didn’t realise just…
How crispy is your homemade pizza?
Ok so I have always battled with my homemade pizza and can never get it as crispy as I want. Who doesn’t love thin Italian style pizzas with a crisp crust and delicious fresh ingredients? But it’s very difficult to make it without a fancy stone baked oven or a hunky Italian chef. Without filling…
Lemon Tart….Yum.
Hi all! I’ve been experimenting with lemon tarts (and eating them) and I can’t decide which image is best. What do you think? I’ve been having a great time taking new images and then eating the products afterwards! More images to come soon. Hope you are all having a great weekend and enjoying the…
Photography Exhibition
Hi all! I know I’ve been a bit quiet on here the past couple of weeks, it’s because I am preparing for the end of my diploma at college with a photography exhibition. I am super excited to present some of my best work at Middleton Hall in the Centre MK. It’s a chance to…
The rule of 3…keeping it simple!
Ok I am no chef but I love to cook. I am always trying to learn new things, even if it ends in a disaster! Yesterday I decided to keep it very simple. Rather than looking for complicated recipes and exotic ingredients, I decided to follow in the Italians foot steps and attempt a very…
Fresh bread…what’s not to love?
I don’t know about you but I can’t seem to resist fresh bread. If you bring a fresh loaf of crusty bread to my house it will not last long. Warmed through in the oven to crisp up the crust and steam the soft centre and then slathered with butter. And hearing that crunch when…
Is Spring finally here?
The sun is shining! Let’s hope it lasts longer than England in the World Cup. I realised that the sun does wonderful things to people in England, they are whistling and smiling and generally more cheerful (until they start complaining that it’s too hot). Spring to me means fresh and colourful food. Eating colourful foods…
