Piri-Piri Sauce. Ever wondered how a cheeky Nando’s make their chicken so cheeky? Well wonder no more because the cheekiness is all in the simplicity of hitting a button. I’ll preface this recipe by telling everybody that again this is one of those posts that is not really a recipe because everything is pureed together … Continue reading PIRI-PIRI SAUCE
Cashew Nut Hummus & Garlic Pita Chips. Ever have somebody drop by unexpectedly, say they’re hungry and all you have is a can of beans and half a bag of stale Doritos to offer?

Broccoli & Blue Cheese Guacamole. I have no idea when I became the kind of person that messed with the sanctity of guacamole but suffice to say it happened quickly. It was out of my control.

However I am geographically challenged and I do find that our UK … Continue reading HOMEMADE HOT SAUCE
Jerk Sauce. If imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, then I’m hoping that a loosely inspired recreation is not too far behind a heartfelt showcase of admiration. Case in point: my version of a jerk sauce. I recently had the pleasure of attending the demonstrations (and a shameless tasting) of the Kitchen’s in action … Continue reading JERK SAUCE
Wild Berry BBQ Sauce. Everything in life is better when it’s slathered. I think there’s just something so reassuring about your food covered in sauce that it just soothes you of an evening.

Peanut Butter Hummus. If a recipe idea comes to me, I am always happy for my inspirations to allow my culinary creativity to wander. The only place I won’t let it wander, is to more than one shop.
