One Pot Mexican Shredded Chicken and Rice

Hello! It’s been a while. I wasn’t even sure I’d remember how to do this. Or if I’d bother as no one seems to read blogs anymore. Personally, I like a website that I can search rather than having to scroll through hundreds of videos to find the one I want. 

One Pot Cajun Chicken with Chorizo and Rice

I have been making different versions of this over the years but never bothered sharing it here. The reason? I usually make it in the heart of Winter when I just want a quick tasty one pot meal after work and the light is never good enough for photos. However, after 274 months of lockdown, […]

Korean Stir-Fried Beef Bulgogi

Beef and Orange Stir-fry

I’m all about fast meals these days that can be made in no time but still have a big punch of flavour from them. A stir-fry is perfect for this type of meal. It can be on the table in under 20 minutes.
