Baked paneer cheese with prawns on avocado and pea mash
It was my day off and I had no idea what to cook. I tried to flick through some cookbooks, some magazines and some blogs for inspiration. Nothing came up and all I knew was that I wanted to eat prawns. I went to the fishmonger and got the prawns and then I raided the … Continue reading
The Liebster award and cake
I have said it before but it is so true, blogging has enabled me to meet so many other lovely bloggers.

Lately my mind has been occupied by opportunities and what to make of them. A few years ago I discovered that I love to make jams.
