Coconut Fish Curry

This was an easy dish to make and so delicious! I made it a few times! 

It was best to have all the ingredients ready before you start cooking because you have to add things fairly quickly. I need to learn from my mistakes and read the whole recipe before I start cooking instead of just as I go. 


I will definitely be making this one again! 
Pappadams are so much fun to make! It's like food magic. I always get a bit carried away and make way too many! Not that my family seems to mind.

Chorizo Carbonara

There's something about carbonara, mine always turns out lumpy, so if anyone has any tips please let me know!

Other than that...
Chorizo meatballs = genius! The meatball mince is already made for you and you can get rid of that nasty stuff they wrap sausages in...whatever it is...and they taste great too!

Sticky Date Loaf

I made this for my mum because it's one of her favourite desserts. It tasted amazing and was pretty easy to make. It did take longer to cook than they said in the recipe, but no matter, it's worth the wait! Served with butterscotch sauce and thickened cream it was a lovely winter dessert. The only problem was that it was quite heavy so you couldn't have too many pieces...although that might be a good thing!

Sukiyaki Beef with Edamame and Sushi Rice

I made this for my room mate and I. I replaced the edamame with soybeans and the sushi rice with regular rice. 
There was a lot of different components to this recipe so I will break it down.
Soybeans: I've never cooked them before and they work differently to edamame so they were kinda crunchy. Maybe better next time!
Beef: A-ma-zing! It was tender and just right! So nice!
Sukiyaki sauce: Something went wrong...I think I over cooked it and it was crunchy not saucy. There was also a lot of chilli! 
Rice: very sweet and very nice.
Over all: probably more my fault than the recipes but I did enjoy the beef and rice!

Instant Fondue with Roast Vegetables
This was so easy to make...and to eat :) 
The cheese was pretty strong though. I don't think we needed two.
