  • Veggies and teriyaki rice

    Veggies and teriyaki rice

    Very good, fresh, crunchy veg but deep savoury flavour. So quick I changed it slightly in that I didn’t combined and stir fry the rice. Partially because I didn’t cook…

  • Simmered Sea Bream

    Simmered Sea Bream

    Excellent and simple, although too sweet and I would want to reduce the sugar content by at least half.  The thinly sliced ginger is superb, and actually quite important to…

    Dal of Bengal gram

    A great dal, lots of flavour without being in any way overpowering. Not too hot. Made with yellow split pea here. Certainly one to return to. If the peas are…

  • Korean bean stew

    Korean bean stew

    Lovely, again in the mapo tofu/gumbo mold and I’m a fan. The gochujang chilli paste is delightful, gently hot, fruity and a touch sour. I’m going to look to use…
