Last week we went to the Melton Mowbray Cheese Fair, or more correctly, the 8th Artisan Cheese Fair. It is held in the Melton Mowbray Livestock Market, Melton Mowbray. My daughter loves cheese but I am not the ‘cheesy’ type (pun intended). I eat cheese when it is on the pizza or in some …

We were in London recently. We were there to attend an uni interview. We went there early, just in case there are hitches. We had a walk along Thames riverbank . Having done the leisurely walk, we decided to have lunch. As we have not been to a Jamie restaurant before, we decided to give …
My sister-in-law booked a weekend for the family in the Cameron House Hotel in Scotland. That was some time in the middle of last year. She wanted to have a ‘retirement’ party. That is to say, that all her brothers and she have reached retirement age. Then in December, there was a fire. We were …

This Chinese New Year (CNY) did not have a good start for me. I fell and slipped and twisted my wrist 2 days before Chinese New Year, that is on Valentine’s Day!! After phoning 111, and made known to the customer service lady that I do not wish to go to A and E, I …
This is an easy recipe that is super delicious. This recipe is based on the vegetarian noodles we had as kids. We use to buy fried beehoon from the local stall. The stall was very popular. We love the crunch of the soy sticks. It is a very simple dish and I have added some more …
I tried this after the Xmas feast, using left overs. In fact I made in on New Year’s eve and had it as snacks to welcome the New Year. I have quite a lot of wonton wrappers in the fridge. I used it to make wonton (what else?). There were a lot of it …

Now that Christmas is over, and many of us have over indulged, I have a recipe that is light, packed with protein and vegetable. If you need to feel less guilty, then try this healthy pancake for breakfast, a light lunch or as a snack. I have a butternut squash sitting in my kitchen …
Tamarind Spare Ribs I have a tamarind recipe for chicken, which is a very old hand-me-down recipe. So now I am coming up with a spare ribs recipe with tamarind sauce. This is delicious eaten with rice and some freshly cooked vegetables. It looks deceptively long to cook, but, you only simmer it …
