I love the combination of sweet fruit in a salad. With summer in full flow, papaya (also known as pawpaw) is a great choice. Adjust the amount of chili for an extra kick in this Thai inspired papaya & prawn salad. This Papaya & Prawn Salad is not only refreshing but also packed with nutrients. […]
If you went a bit over the top with turkey, what are you planning to do with the left-overs? If you’ve not yet served up the original turkey, make sure you get the leftovers in the fridge within an hour or two of serving. I separate it into bones, white meat, dark meat and freeze […]
Ok so my recipe isn’t strictly accurate, as my tomatoes are oven-dried tomatoes rather than sun-dried – and my method doesn’t take 7-days, but the end result is the close enough.

I changed washing powder, re-washed everything and it made no difference. I wondered if it was what I was […]
It’s common knowledge that sugar is to be avoided, but if only it were that simple. Did you now there are at least 62 words food manufacturers can use, instead of simply saying sugar? Many of the words on the list, such as Golden syrup and HFCS may be obvious no-no’s, but what about less […]
Chicken Schnitzel is pretty much the national dish of Australia (perhaps after pie?), which is funny, because if you ask for chicken schnitzel in the UK people think you’ve come straight from the 1970s.
