I think you could put anything in the middle of a bread roll and it would taste great and one of my favourite sliders, apart from the usual burger of course, is chicken parmigiana. Parmigiana is delicious as is but put it in the middle of a bun and it tastes even better. This is a […]
I have been on the hunt for a good arroz caldoso recipe ever since I saw Anthony Bourdain eating a bowl of it in one of his No Reservations episodes, probably one based in Spain as that is where the recipe originated. I couldn’t find too many recipes online for arroz caldoso but I got […]

There are a few different variations of abgoosht but the meat used is always lamb and it always includes a pulse of some variety as well as potatoes. Traditionally abgoosht is served in two courses. The first course takes the form […]
I find I rarely do three course sit down dinners when we entertain and much prefer serving canapés with pre-dinner drinks before sitting down to a main meal. So I’m always on the lookout for new finger food ideas and these little bite size soufflés are totally delicious and you just can’t stop at one. They are […]
