We can do it together
With the weather turning rather cold again I needed something that was hot, tasty and quick for lunch so this sweet chilli beef stir-fry was just perfect.

I can still remember the day I cooked my very first meal all on my own, I was only 12 years old, my mum was running late. Normally when we got home from school are dinner was waiting but not this day. I didn’t want my sisters to go hungry so I took it upon myself to start dinner and curried corned beef hash it was. I managed to cook quite a decent meal only problem was it was just enough for me and my sisters. Anyway with a few changes I have now made this a more healthier recipe and want to share with you [Read more...]
Its been a while since I last did you a recipe and although I’ve been ill my mind doesn’t stop working.

St Helenian Plo this was one of the most popular dishes that I made a few years ago when I had my catering business, always a sell out but, until now I have never shared the recipe. Living on St Helena, (that’s where I’m from) this is the one meal that is almost guaranteed to be made by most families each week.

The problem you have when you think of a cheesy pasta bake is the amount of fat and calories, that is why most people tend to steer clear and make the healthier choices of a tomato based sauce. I have done a little experimenting and have come up with a tasty four cheese pasta bake that I have made healthier, and it takes very little effort to make too. [Read more...]
