‘Those we love don’t walk away, they stay beside us everyday’ This is another of our family favorite dishes. We used to eat it every Monday growing up and my grandma used to break her Monday fast with it. It is an Indian version chicken soup, nourishing for the tummy and soul, with many medicinal …
This recipe was a request from my beautiful cousin Melanie-Jane who was born in Africa, Zambia and spent the early days of her childhood with my Grandma. She remembered this as a dip that my grandma would serve with Samosa’s and Pakora’s. Samosa’s are little parcels of joy and my grandma’s version were practically famous …
This is a really easy, relatively healthy and very sentimental recipe for me. Loli is a Sindhi* breakfast dish. In all honesty it is much more than this as it is the quintessential Indian ‘on the go’ travel food and because of this it plays a prominent role in family life and memories. It is …
This is an old colonial dish, said to have been created as a mix of kitcherie, a classic Indian dish of rice and legumes and a Scottish addition through smoked haddock. This recipe is an adaptation of Jamie Oliver’s recipe. I prefer to make things a little easier and quicker, and so I use pre-cooked, …

My favorite way to eat vegetables is straight from the BBQ with a little hint of smokiness and char. I also love seeing those perfect grill lines, as it reminds me of the Mediterranean and eating fresh vegetables and fish by the sea. Since I use a grill pan in this recipe, it is advisable …
A salad might be a simple recipe to blog, but it would be a shame if you never tried this combination, as it is salad-sational Strawberries might seem like something you should eat for desert or breakfast but the tart acidity actually works very well as a replacement for balsamic. This is nicely complemented with …
I love these little pockets of joy, they are so fresh and tasty with the added zing you get from the herbs, like in so many Vietnamese dishes. The almond butter dipping sauce is a wonderful addition, and I got the recipe from ‘the minimalist baker’ whose clean living blog is phenomenal and deserves …
Nasu Dengaku is a classic Japanese dish made with eggplant brushed with a sweet, salty miso glaze-umami at its best I use this marinade on other creations too, like asparagus or broccoli for an extra dimension The dish takes 5 minutes to prepare and 7 minutes to cook and is good as a side dish …
