Savoury French Toast with Feta Cheese

You know when you have those mornings that you wake up wanting something a little out of the ordinary for breakfast, why don't you try making these savoury french toasties. There's flavour from the fresh herbs, a little tangy saltiness from the feta cheese and the egg makes a lovely familiar base that brings it all together. And ofcourse you can drizzle lightly (or heavily) with some syrup. After all, what is french toast without syrup!?

 Ingredients:

As the days become colder, warm, hearty meals are a no brainer. In addition to being comforting, they are not complicated to make. So try this over the weekend while you are resting with your family and friends.

Ginger and Coriander Fried Chicken Wings

I love making food for little events with friends and family, and I love it even more when whatever I'm making cooks quickly and is easy to eat. That all spells CRISPY CHICKEN WINGS to me haha.
I made these crispy chicken wings last week, and although the event I had made them for didn't end up happening, the people that did have them absolutely loved them! Yay!

Yoghurt and Herb Chicken Kebabs

Hi Everyone!

This recipe is inspired by the Turkish cuisine I had during the summer when I spent some time with my family. I loved it, I can't believe i had always shied away from it- what was wrong with me?

But I'm reformed and decided to share my version of yoghurt and herb chicken kebabs. You can use as much or as little chicken as you like depending on if your making mini kebabs or bigger ones if they are part of the main course.

How to Preserve Fresh Herbs

I always avoided buying fresh herbs when trying out recipes. Its because since moving away from my mom's little herb garden, I hated spending money on a big bunch of herbs and only using a small amount and throwing the rest away. Since the beginning of he year, however I have found a way to preserve them so that I can use them over a longer period of time and essentially get my money's worth.

Sugar Bean Curry

Hello everyone!

Making a curry can definitely turn a potentially boring or bland meal into something exciting. Beans have always been one of those things I found quite uninteresting until I started making them like this. I love sugar beans now and I always have them with chapati which is a perfect accompaniment for the spicy beans.

Garlic and Herb Grilled Potato Wedges

Hi everyone!



If you looove roasted potato wedges but you never quite get them right, then this post is for you. There are so many reasons your wedges don't turn out the way you imagine, but the most likely problem is the type of potato you are using. Some potatoes are best for salads, steaming or boiling, baking while others are best for roasting etc. I guess the real difference is in the texture. There are thousands of varieties, I would have to do a seperate post to cover them all so today I am going to focus on how I made these delicious, crispy garlic and herb grilled potatoes.

Sticky Barbeque Ribs

Who doesn't love delicious sticky, well marinated ribs?!

Mini Chicken Pizzas

I've been thinking what food is reminiscent of spring and summer and somehow pizza came to mind. So I thought I would share my recipe for mini pizza. This recipe can be adapted to your needs, so you can make many small pizzas or one large one to share with family and friends.




Secret to a delicious pizza is in the pizza sauce you use and I have tried countless times to make my own sauce. I'm so excited to say that I think I may have nailed it this time!

For the Pizza sauce: 2 mini pizza (15cm diameter)

So I thought it would be appropriate to share this meatball recipe.

Restaurant Style Chicken Curry

Most times when I try to make a curry, i always find recipes that require a million and one spices that i never have on hand. Realistically thinking, not many people have all sorts of spices waiting to be used so i found a way of achieving the same restaurant style curry result but without the hassle of all the individual spices.

Crunchy Tuna Salad

Hello everyone!

A friend of mine introduced me to beautiful combination of sweetened lemon juice, celery and apple and that is what inspired this salad recipe. Its so simple to put together and tastes so light and fresh.

The Perfect Vanilla Cupcake

I cannot count the number of vanilla cupcake recipes i have tried in search for the best texture and taste (i'm slightly obsessed with textures in food). And I think i have found my "vanilla cupcake home" haha.
One of my absolute favourite pastry chefs is Gretchen Price. Her recipes will not steer you wrong! She knows what she's doing and she definitely inspires me. This is her version of a perfect vanilla cupcake, and i absolutely agree.

 Bread making can be so therapeutic- almost addictive, especially when you know that the result of all your hard work (kneading) will be worth it and delicious. These rolls are everything you want from a home-baked batch of bread rolls. What's even more exciting is knowing that you can make any shape buns, so here's a way of releasing your creativity! :)
 

Light and Fluffy Pancakes | Recipe

If you are tired of making pancakes that are chew and heavy, then this recipe is a must-try. A few things to do with technique really affect the texture of pancakes. Firstly, it's so important to have make sure all your ingredients are at room temperature before mixing them. Also, using the correct measuring utensils ensures you use the correct amount of baking powder that will make your pancakes rise without being bitter. Lastly, do not over mix the batter. LUMPS ARE GOOD (not huge lumps of flour though, just mix enough to make sure you don't have flour that has not been incorporated).
