The culinary eagle-eyed among you will see this recipe and note that it’s a little tom-yummy. And yes it is absolutely based on the glorious Thai soup, but as usual, I have issues deeming anything as authentic because I take so many shortcuts and left turns.

I know that the fussiness is strong in this one. This not a fact, just a musing of mine own experiences. And I … Continue reading PURPLE KIMCHI

Nothing brings me more joy than pondering what I’m going to eat next. If you ever catch me staring wistfully into the distance, trust I’m not lost in the heady throes of romance or thinking deeply about the fabric of life… … I’m literally just thinking about what I’m going to eat next. Usually when … Continue reading HOT CROSS BUN & BUTTER PUDDING
As culturually insensitive and as culinary inappropriate as this may sound, I always think of dal as a confused bolognese. Hear me out. It straddles the line of curry… and bolognese… but is absolutely neither… but kind of both at the same time? Nothing like a bolognese in flavour or components but everything like it … Continue reading BEETROOT & COCONUT DAL WITH QUICK CUCUMBER PICKLES
