I have stumbled on the ultimate weeknight chicken dish. Lemon and garlic sticky chicken. 10 minutes prep and 25 minute cooking time, the chicken is infused with lemon and thyme while soy sauce, lemon juice, honey and garlic create an incredible sticky sauce.

Healthy cooking month! I have declared this to be healthy cooking month, so I am looking for recipes where the flavour comes from herbs and spices rather than cream and butter. The flavours in this recipes are truly astounding, you can expect a full on party in your mouth at any point in time. It’s […]
Some recipes stand the test of time. This recipe is my grandmother’s…she used to make it for my family when she would come and stay with us when we were little and every time I tasted it I thought it was the yummiest thing in the world. Layers of chicken, ham, and halloumi cheese, topped […]
