Recipe: sesame prawn toast

I'm obsessed with prawn toast. What? You didn't know? I'm good at hiding my obsessions :) Can't imagine a Chinese/Thai meal out/ takeaway without prawn toast. But I've never dared to make it at home - didn't want to ruin it for myself if it turned out terrible!

Then, last year my friend and I decided to make ourselves a Thai dinner, and I bravely suggested prawn toast to complement her green curry. And then, earlier this year, my husband and I got ourselves a dim sum steamer (more on this later!) and we decided to cook up a Chinese feast, which had to include prawn toast of course. So I've had a bit of practice!

Recipe: the all-in-one grilled toast

We've been on a mission to make our Saturday mornings healthier and tastier. No more leftover pizza from a lazy Friday night in, no more skipping breakfast altogether because we have nothing in the fridge, no more dashing to Sainsburys for last-minute custard crowns. Those days are gone. So what's this all-in-one grilled toast all about?

Recipe: Mum-in-law's kozhukattai payasam

My mum-in-law is a great cook and so when we visit each year, I'm in for quite a treat! My husband has a few favourite things on his request list for her, and one of them is kozhukattai payasam. I watched her as she cooked this up this year, and participated in the fun bits too! I have to say, it took a while but was well worth the effort. Here's her kozhukattai payasam recipe.

Recipe: mushroom burgers

There's a National Burger Day I had no idea about till earlier this week! So while the pubs and cafes and restaurants and burger joints were fighting it out for hungry customers, we decided to make our own. Here's my mushroom burger recipe :)
