Restaurant food at home
Now I’m all for trends and keeping up with fashion in the gourmet world. There are days though, when you discover a classic and realise that what you were served for school dinners, was not how they should have been. These duchess potatoes especially. They are my new go to […]
One of my all time favourite foods are scallops. I only ever eat them as a starter though and always want more. This led me to try and devise a main course scallop dish. This is the first version of it. I have a second of a Maldivian curry. This […]
