Today is my husband’s birthday, so I thought I’d make him a special birthday brunch. I came up with this recipe while looking at the ingredients in my cupboard, and I must say I’m very pleased with how it turned out! If you’re looking for an alternative to your traditional pancake, look no further.

This is a recipe I concocted with while experimenting with curries and stews. I wanted a stew that didn’t take too long to cook, but that still had all the flavours of a hearty and comforting curry with a Caribbean (see ‘Colombo de poulet’ – French Antilles) and Asian fusion (see traditional Chicken curry). If that’s the kind of flavours you’re after, try this recipe and let me know what you think. Continue reading “Sweet pepper and coconut curried chicken stew”

This recipe is one of my absolute favourite fish dishes, great as a summer meal but also a very healthy option as it’s grilled in the oven (as opposed to fried). Marinated in a delicious mix of bell peppers, Lazy Garlic and Lazy Ginger and spices, the fish really absorbs all the flavours and tastes amazing with a side of rice, plantain, or sweet potatoes.

2016-10-20-05.16.59-1.jpg.jpg

A few days ago, I arranged to meet up with Debra for a quick bite. I had been looking forward to this for a long time. Yes to new friendships, yes to fellow bloggers/vloggers who understand your need to film or photograph every single part of your dining experience. And quite frankly, yes to simply beautiful, kind and funny souls like Debra. I’m always grateful for the people God places on my path.

But back to this restaurant review… Continue reading “Brunch at Christopher’s, Covent Garden ~ An honest review”
