Prawn & Pineapple Curry
A recipe for Simple Prawn and Pineapple Curry – It takes about 30 minutes to make and contains no onions!
Don’t think that it doesn’t taste great though. It’s got a real chilli kick that’s mellowed out by the juicy pineapple and creamy coconut sauce. Great served with white or brown rice.
Spiced Winter Squash Stew
A recipe for Spiced Winter Squash Stew – A perfect stew for late night conversations, bringing people together, getting through exams and getting over hangovers.
Chilli Pineapple Upside Down Cake & Coriander Ice Cream
This upside down pineapple cake has a hint of chilli, so the non-dairy ice cream made from cashew nuts, coconut milk and coriander is perfect to cool it down. I made it for Mother’s day and it went down really well!
Goan fish curry
This recipe for Goan fish curry has to be one of the quickest and most delicious curries I have ever made. It has a hot, deep spicy flavour and can be ready within half an hour.
Moroccan Vegetable Tagine
This recipe uses chickpeas and potatoes instead of meat, and is a great alternative to my recipe for Moroccan Lamb Tagine. It’s not too hot and has a really deep and mellow spiced and slightly sweet flavour. Very tasty and ideal for preparing in advance.
Chicken and noodle soup
This recipe for Chicken and noodle soup is strongly influenced by my love of Japanese, Chinese and Thai cookery. It contains some strong individual flavours like ginger, lemongrass, garlic and chilli. Combined them with the honey and sherry though and you’ve got a delicious and light soup.
It’ll warm you through and leave you feeling cleansed and satisfied. Just what’s needed to lift the Winter blues and start the year in the best way possible.
Pork wonton soup
This is turning out to be one of my all time favourite soups. It has an amazingly fresh flavour and smell and leaves you feeling good. I put this down to the ingredients and their positive effects – honey, ginger, lemon, garlic and I suppose you could count sherry too, right? It’s just like a natural cold remedy.
The recipe includes making your own wonton wrappers, filling and the soup.
Tom Yam Goong
I’ve made Tom Yam Goong for you, a Thai classic, which translates as hot and sour prawn soup.
I got the recipe from renowned Thai chef and cookery school owner, Somphon Nabnian, many years ago when I had the privilege of attending his cooking classes in Chiang Mai in Thailand. By the way, I’ve given the recipe in its original form, but even I baulked at 20 chillies and I love spicy Thai food. Just go easy on them and remember it’s a lot easier to add something than it is to take it away.
Chicken Pasanda
For my last recipe celebrating National Curry Week, and also to use up a little more of the Total Greek Yoghurt I’ve been sent, I’m treating you to a Chicken Pasanda. This is the curry that I always used to order when eating out at a restaurant. I just love the creaminess and nutty flavour of the sauce – the Total yoghurt is thick, tasty and full fat, so ideal for this.
There are a lot of ingredients and the method is long, but as they say no pain no gain! Give it a go, I think you’ll like it!
Spicy chilli and butternut squash risotto
A lovely comfort food and a different way to serve a butternut squash that’s normally blitzed in a soup or roasted.
