It's 3pm, your child came back from school not long ago and is starving. You have a stash of “healthy” wholemeal biscuits or plain crackers available, but you don’t want to resort to that all the time. You see full-time mums come up with elaborate afternoon tea snacks for their kids on Instagram. Not everyone has the time for that, you think, as you plate…
I know there are many of you out there who are not breakfast people. As someone who is very much a breakfast person, I don’t quite get it. But yet, I guess I kind of do—that’s probably how I feel when I’m unwell or so nervous about something that I don’t have appetite to get anything in my tummy early in the morning. Otherwise, its…
Eggs are a good source of protein, but omelettes give you the opportunity to load up on flavourful and wholesome ingredients. By doing so, not only do you increase the nutritional value of the meal you're having so that it's more complete, you also improve the taste of the dish!Here is a quick and easy omelette that you can make that packs a punch and…
Did you know that Elvis Presley’s favourite sandwich is a peanut butter and banana sandwich? I learnt that from a documentary once and it has stuck with me since, because it’s such an amazing combination. Don’t believe me? Wiki it!

This is one of my favourite dishes when I need a really quick meal. The origins of this dish was an accident. I had a really busy morning at home one day and was ready to cook myself a nice, tasty lunch when my landlord at the time decided that the microwave and kitchen stove needed replacing. It was 2pm in the afternoon. I was…
I’ve never really had sardines in my life until my mother-in-law cooked up some sardine curry one night. It blew my mind because the fishiness of the sardines was entirely eliminated by the richness of the tomatoes and the complex tanginess of tamarind, kaffir lime leaves and lime in combination. We normally have it with some rice and Greek yoghurt, which really lends a creaminess…
I love mexican food for its blend of different spices, savoury flavours and overall heartiness. Whenever I have a mexican food craving I think of nachos topped with chilli on carne, beef enchiladas, and chicken quesadillas. Mexican food is rich, comforting, and just food for the soul. However, some of these dishes may be calorie dense and not for everyday eating.That's why I have created…
