Singari Fish (Samak Singari)

I never hear my family and friends speak more fondly of any fish more than a Samak Singari eaten quite literally on the shores of the Mediterranean Sea. My husband’s favourite seafood ‘restaurant’ was one right next to the wharf, on the sand with plastic chairs and table but OOH the food was incredible. I […]

I found this recipe in Delicious magazine this month and I just had to try it out. I almost tried it before I was even fasting! It was easy to prepare taking minutes to make the marinade. THe marinade itself really infused the fish with flavour. I got hubby to fire up the bbq to […]

Chicken Cacciatore

I have been experimenting with chicken cacciatore recipes for about 7 years now, and they have always disappointed. You see what I am trying to emulate is the chicken cacciatore that was made at the Hilton lunch buffet where I grew up – I could never get enough of it. Each recipe I tried had […]

Coriander and Almond Pesto with Prawns and Linguine

As I have said in my earlier post, coriander is my all time favourite herb and this pesto is one of my favourite ways to enjoy it. It is zesty, garlicky, lemony and the chilli flakes add an incredible zing that make you want to bathe your tastebuds in it. This stuff is soooooo good, […]

Creamy blue cheese and mushroom risotto

The addition of cream tempers the blue cheese down to make it milder and easier to enjoy. I served this alongside a beautiful marinated chicken schnitzel! I hope that you enjoy […]

Quick prawns with red peppers

Sometimes we have time for a thought out gourmet meal and sometimes we need a quick dinner when you have to use what you have in the fridge/pantry. I love frozen prawns ’cause they last a long time in the freezer and they cook super quick! A perfect throw together meal for a weeknight 🙂 […]

Moist Veal and pork meatballs immersed in a lush tomato sauce with creamy mash

Nothing stresses me out more than not knowing what to cook! While I love to pour through recipe books – I find that exactly like dress shopping, when you aren’t looking for something there are a million things you would make but when you need to decide on what to cook that evening nothing looks […]

Pork roast with lemon, garlic and sage

I’ve never made a pork roast before, in fact we dont really eat that much pork in our house outside cold cuts like ham and mortadella, I think it must be the fact that I grew up in countries where pork was not that readily available, and maybe its a cultural thing as well. Anyhoo […]
