Everything is phenomenal in a taco. Everything. Admittedly, I do go a bit cold when I see tacos served in that crunchy, manila envelope style boat, myself preferring the softer tortilla which I can fold at my own leisure, but it has to be said that anything cradled in a taco is about to be … Continue reading FROZEN FISH TACOS WITH PINEAPPLE SALSA
If you’ve read my blog over the years (which some of you have and I’m very grateful!) I have issues deeming something an ‘authentic’ recipe, when it is nothing of the sort. This stew has nothing authentically Mexican about it. There’s my disclaimer and I can’t help myself. As a food writer, I often get … Continue reading MEXICAN MEATBALL STEW

Sundried Tomato Salsa. I once went to Mexico (Playa del Carmen, to be exact) and stayed in a fabulously luxurious hotel with a friend of mine who always gives me the most opulent holiday experiences. Lucky for me, he works for an upmarket flight service therefore the perks of going on holiday with him are … Continue reading SUNDRIED TOMATO SALSA
Simple Fajitas. Nature played a trick on me. I often catch myself in a maraca sound tracked daydream where I believe I could easily have been Mexican. I’m passionate about food, I cherish family and I talk very fast – traits both the Welsh and the Mexicans have in common. But in real terms, their … Continue reading SIMPLE FAJITAS
Turkey Coco Chilli with Chorizo & Borlotti Beans. The path of a recipe for me is somewhat of a labyrinth. Many a time have I started with the general idea of a recipe and ended up somewhere completely different. From plan to preparation to plate, my recipe will almost never end up the way it … Continue reading TURKEY COCO CHILLI WITH CHORIZO & BORLOTTI BEANS
