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.

This is a really quick recipe for tomato soup that you can make and serve within half an hour. It’s a beautiful colour, tastes great and is healthy! There’s no need to make this more complicated than it has to be…
Moroccan vegetable tagine
My recipe for Moroccan lamb tagine has proven to be pretty popular, but it wasn’t suitable for vegetarians. In a quest to get an extra intake of vegetables and spice to keep a cold away I’ve built on it and created a vegetable version.
This recipe has chickpeas and potatoes instead of meat and turned out [...]
Lamb kebabs with minted yoghurt dip
Here’s a great recipe which is a feast for the eyes as well as your belly. The lamb is marinaded in rosemary and garlic and left overnight to soak up the flavour – this is a must.
The vegetables all sweeten up nicely when you cook them on the grill, or I suppose you could even cook this on the barbie when it’s nice and sunny!
Baked eggs with tomatoes and lemon creme fraiche
This version of baked eggs with tomato, creme fraiche and lemon, brings a Mediterranean element to a delicious brunch.
Tagliatelle with roast vegetables
A friend made this from scratch for lunch when I called in unexpectedly. I watched with pleasure, ate with increasing pleasure and returned home to try my hand and share my pleasure…. so I hope you will try it out and enjoy!
As the meat is added as a topping it is also a very useful recipe because meat lovers and vegetarians can be invited to share the basic dish.
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.
Easy Peasy Vegetable Curry
It appears it’s Curry National Week and how conveniently so – Last week of the month, low on finances and bits and bobs of vegetables looking sorry for themselves in the fridge. Vegetable curry it is then for dinner!
Nasi Goreng
I’d never had Nasi Goreng before, until my friend Trav treated myself and Dan to dinner last week. It’s amazing! He also served chicken/beef skewers in a home-made satay sauce with the dish – we were certainly spoiled that night. I sat him down and demanded he give me this Indonesian recipe so I could share it with everyone.
Tomato, Onion and Anchovy Quiche
I needed something that could be easily nibbled on to keep us going during service, so I raided the cupboard and came up with a rather tasty quiche!
