The East India Company – Cherry Chocolate Chip and Chilli Cookies
A few weeks ago I got sent some rather delicious Cherry, Chocolate Chip and Chilli cookies (or CCC Biscuit) from The East India Company. They come in a really posh looking tube, that’s obviously Eastern inspired, with the shapes and stand out gold leaf on the sides. The tin with it’s metal lid also feels […]
Mexican Feast: Chorizo and Squash Tacos Recipe
This was the final course in our Mexican Feast, it was probably one of my favourites, I served it with loads of homemade home grown tomato spicy salsa and cooling guacamole. This is yet another recipe from Mexican Food Made Simple by Thomasina Miers, although I used butternut squash instead of onion squash and used red onion […]

A couple of days ago I recieved a press release along with this delicious sounding recipe that I thought some of you might like, obviously I’d spice things up a bit with a little bit of chilli and by using a hot and spicy chorizo. There’s also a chance for the budding cooks reading this […]

I’m gutted to report that the Levens Hall Chilli Fest has been cancelled, this was on their website earlier today Following heavy rainfall this week and a forecast of continuing poor weather, we have regrettably taken the decision to cancel the 2011 Chilli Fest. The field used for event parking is currently flooded. Rising water […]

I used the basic recipe for the mushroom tacos and turned it into Tostadas as I […]
Mexican Feast: Spicy Sweetcorn Recipe
The first course in our Mexican Feast was one of my favourites, It’s best done on the BBQ but works just as well on the griddle pan or under the grill. How long you cook the sweetcorn for will depend on the size of your sweetcorn and how hot your pan is. There is a […]
Mexican Feast: Citrus Fizz Recipe
Inspired by last week’s trip to Wahaca in Covent Garden I decided to cook up Mexican feast using my Mexican Food Made Simple Book. I will post the recipes up over the next couple of days but I’m staring with this one in which I tried to re create the drink I had at Wahaca. While It doesn’t […]
Wahaca, Covent Garden.
I won’t beat about the bush, Wahaca is somewhere I’ve wanted to go ever since I head Thomasina Miers of Masterchef and Mexican Food Made Simple had opened her first Mexican restaurant. Unfortunately for me all of the restaurants are situated in London which is something like 260 miles away and not somewhere I go to very […]
