“The preparation of good food is merely another expression of art, one of the joys of civilised living” (Dione Lucas). With all the rice, bread, curries, pastas, pizzas and even burgers, it’s recipes such as these that give me a break, that are simple because “good food is very often, even most often – simple…

~Turkish Wrap~
“The way to entice people into cooking is to cook delicious things” (Yotem Ottolenghi). One of the most succulently rich and appetizing cuisines in the world reigns in Turkey. Turkish food is extremely diverse with sea of flavours and creative cooking styles. This is a testimony to the Turkish people’s passionate attitude towards their food…

There is a reason why “Burgers” are considered a part of “Comfort Food” family and that is because eating burgers actually make you happy. It’s true! eat one and you’ll feel endorphins building up in your body making you feel happy, comforted and satiated. Ina Garten is a huge name in the English gastronomy and…

George Bernard Shaw, wrote history when he wrote, “there is no love sincerer than the love of food” and it is one of my favorite lines in literature. The love of food evolves you as a person, you learn to invoke innovation and team-up with curiosity, although, sometimes that curiosity may lead to utter disasters,…

~BBQ Sloppy Joes~
I believe when Craig Claiborne said, “cooking is at once child’s play and adult joy. And cooking done with care is an act of love”, he had Sloppy Joes in mind. This is a dish that brings out the child in you having the pleasure and privilege of being sloppy and not getting told off….

Back in University, when I was doing my degree in English Literature, I used to love Robert Frost. One time I came across one of his quotes saying, “There is one thing more exasperating than a wife who can cook and won’t, and that’s a wife who can’t cook and will”. I remember laughing out…
~ McArabia ~
Valencia Mackie said “never to give advise unless you have walked the walk, because anyone can talk the talk”, well conceding with her, I strongly advice you to try this recipe. When you read McArabia, the first thing that comes to mind is the glitz and glam of the Middle East. Growing up in the…
~Chicken Fajita~
Cooking is all about people. No matter where you come from, food is something that will always be universal. It knows no race, colour or borders. It spurs innovation and creativity and gives birth to newfangled flamboyant trends in universal gastronomy and as Julia Child stated, “in cooking you’ve got to have a what-the-hell attitude”. …
