This is the last of my Christmas Dinner posts. For the main course, I wanted to make something different (read non-indian) and thought this would go well with the risotto as it’s filling and not too heavy on the carbs. Beef Fillet: I bought 600g of Beef Fillet (Tenderloin) as there were 5 of us. […]

Last year I attended a Cuppa for Cansa High Tea at Tokai Melomed, which Kamini Pather hosted. She demo’d Risotto Milanese which is a traditional Italian dish flavoured with Saffron. The addition of Garam Masala was inspired by Biryani flavours. I couldn’t see much from where I was sitting but paid attention to the ingredients

These Kebabs in tomato chutney are probably one of my favourite food memories. I remember my Nanima and Mother in the kitchen making the mince mixture and rolling them into perfect little balls with the utmost care. Me stirring the pot thinking I was actually cooking and adding value to the whole process lol. After

This dish was inspired by a salad I ate at my friend Mariette’s house. It was so amazing, I was obsessed with the flavours and wanted to re-create it so I could eat it over and over again. Her salad had Swiss chard, courgette ribbons, asparagus, avocado and feta all drenched in this delicious honey,
I use Pinterest for a lot of things, it’s great for food inspiration, like if you have a lonely ingredient in the fridge and don’t know what to do with it just type in “asparagus” and see what recipe roulette you get. I’ve been through the gluten free, sugar free, wheat free, dairy free phases
