Chicken & Potato Tikka Masala | Recipe

The weather is finally getting to that point where I'm starting to feel the cold (it took long enough - it certainly still doesn't feel like November in England). As the weather gets colder, I really love trying out more spicy foods to warm myself up. I'm a massive curry fan, Indian Tikka Masala or Dopiaza and Thai red and green curries. While the curry sauces you can buy ready made in jars from the supermarket are yummy, nothing compares to making your own curry from scratch - and one of my favourite curries to make from scratch is a chicken and potato Tikka Masala.

Pumpkin & Chocolate Chip Tray Cake

Halloween is over, and I've just about recovered by now! I always go all out at Halloween as far as food and decorations go, which is an odd occurrence given my somewhat fear of going outside for Halloween (there is a strict no zombie policy on my Halloween celebrations due to my completely irrational and strange phobia of zombies). So, I found myself on the somewhat creepily misty morning on 1st November curled up in a blanket with a cup of tea watching Cinderella with some of my friends in Leeds, with patches of face paint, which refused to move with just face wipes, still on my face wondering what to do with all the pumpkins that I had carved at home to leave for Pete to enjoy the day before, and I found the perfect recipe inspiration!

McKenzie's of Lichfield | Restaurant Review

In the small, quaint city of Lichfield in Staffordshire lies a restaurant that was most certainly the only pick for a meal for my Dad's 61st birthday. Not only is it situated in one of the most beautiful cities in England, and in an architecturally interesting and charming restaurants, but it also shares our family name (not that we have any connection to the restaurant other than sheer coincidence of having the same name). My family and I used to go with my Godparents to the restaurant when it was under a different ownership, so it was also interesting to see how it had changed. With stunning food and drinks, McKenzie's is certainly the place to go for a special occasion or a treat in Staffordshire, especially on a Saturday when the market is bustling outside. 

Scrumptious Cakes From Baker Days

This is a sponsored post.

Cakes are something that no special occasion would be without - birthdays, anniversaries, graduations - anything! But, sometimes, we can't afford to go all out on a lavish cake, but would like something a little more personal and exciting than the classic caterpillar shaped cake from the supermarket (you all know which one I'm talking about). The fabulous people at Baker Days were kind enough to solve this dilemma for me by sending me one of their letter box chocolate cakes with a fantastic personalised design to taste test and review for them.

New Jacob's Cracker Crisps | First Impression

THIS IS NOT A SPONSORED POST

I signed up to a marketing company called BzzAgent a while back, who are one of the leading marketing companies, sending out products to a number of people per product to let people test them out and hopefully, if they like them, share this with their friends and spread the word about these new products, and the first one I have to try is the new Cracker Crisps by Jacob's.

Boston Tea Party, Cheltenham | Café Review

Tucked away in the far end of Cheltenham town centre lies a modern industrial coffee shop and café called Boston Tea Party, bringing copper and metallics back into fashion along side, as it's name suggests, British classics such as Eggs Benedict and beautiful cakes with American, Boston style with huge pastrami sandwiches and milkshakes. Discovering this little gem on my first day in Cheltenham was definitely a good thing...

Gloucester Quays Food & Drink Festival 2015

Having moved down from the cold climates of Leeds in West Yorkshire to the sweltering heat of the South, I wanted to try as many things as possible in my first few weeks living in a county that seemed to have completely different mannerisms and characteristics that the one I had just moved from - and what better was to see what fantastic local produce and vibe Gloucestershire has then to attend the annual Food & Drink Festival at Gloucester Quays, which took place this year on the 17th - 19th July.

#LeedsFoodMonth | Brewdog Pieminister Pies

Leeds Food Month is an incredible month long event showcasing the best food trends at the moment throughout the city, with special markets, events and some restaurants and bars showcasing special festival additions to their menus. By far, one of my favourite bars in Leeds is Brewdog, so when I heard they were taking part in the food festival, I couldn't resist but to pop on down and try one of their pies from showcasing kitchen, Pieminister.

#LetsGetFoodieChallenge Week Two

The amazing Amanda Bootes has created a fun blogger challenge series called the Lets Get Foodie Challenge. Each challenger is given one to two weeks to complete the set challenge. This week is all about National Vegetarian Week (18th - 24th May 2015), and we were challenged by Amanda to produce a dish with something green in it!

For this weeks entry, I moved away from the classics and went more rustic, putting a spin on a Jamie Oliver recipe that I've made countless times before! Usually when I make this dish, I also make a homemade pesto (also a Jamie recipe) as well, so why not make it this time! So...here it is...my spin on Jamie Oliver's Grilled Halloumi, Spinach & Toasted Seed Salad with Homemade Parmesan Pesto!

Ingredients

for the pesto

1/2 Clove Garlic

Sea Salt

Ground Black Pepper

3 Handfuls Fresh Basil

1 Handful Pine Nuts

1 Handful Parmesan Cheese

Extra Virgin Olive Oil

1/2 Lemon

for the salad

1 Handful Sunflower Seeds

2 Small Carrots

1 Bulb Fennel

4 Handfuls Baby Spinach

100g Fresh Podded Peas

250g Halloumi

1 Lemon

Extra Virgin Olive Oil

Sea Salt

Ground Black Pepper

Recipe | Pesto

1 | Pound the garlic with a little pinch of salt, pepper and the basil leaves in a pestle and mortar. Add the pine nuts to the mixture and pound again. Add half the Parmesan and stir gently and add the olive oil - you need just enough to blend the pesto together, not make it oily. Add the rest of the cheese and squeeze in a small squeeze of lemon juice at the end - and you're all done! Tasty, and incredibly simple!

Recipe | Salad

1 | Toast the seeds in a dry pan over a high heat, moving them around the pan from time to time so they don't burn. This will only take a couple of minutes. Put to one side. Using a speed peeler, cut the carrots and the fennel bulb into this ribbons. If you're using peas in a pod, pod them.

2 | Slightly wilt your spinach for about a minute, and warm up your vegetables for a couple of minutes in a pan with a minute amount of oil. Cut your halloumi into centimetre thick pieces and place on a hot griddle or frying pan with a minute amount of oil for about one minute on each side. The cheese will soften slightly as it cooks, so turn carefully.

3 | Put your vegetables on a large plate and dress with a good squeeze of lemon, and a pinch of salt and pepper before tossing together. Add the halloumi chunks on top, followed by a sprinkling of the seeds - you can mix it all together if you like.

I hope you enjoyed this slightly different way of doing a Jamie Oliver classic for my second #LetsGetFoodieChallenge entry for National Vegetarian Week 2015! Go and check out the challenge and get more info from Amanda's blog here.



#LetsGetFoodieChallenge Week One

The amazing Amanda Bootes has created a fun blogger challenge series called the Lets Get Foodie Challenge. Each challenger is given two weeks to complete the set challenge and the first one is possibly going to be my favourite as it's all about CHOCOLATE! And, not only is this weeks challenge going to be incredibly fun, it's going to an amazing cause as well, TheBigChocTeaParty in aid of the Sick Children's Trust.

For this challenge, we were challenged with making and sharing our best recipe including chocolate as the main feature, so what better place to turn to for inspiration than Mary Berry and The Great British Bake Off! While searching through, I found an amazing recipe using chocolate and amaretto to make small present shaped parcels which I have tried to make once before at Christmas and they turned out pretty good. This recipe does contain alcohol but you don't have to add it. 

I initially changed the recipe to include Pimm's rather than Amaretto as I found a similar recipe online that made cake from Pimm's, however they didn't pass the taste test by my dust bin of a boyfriend, therefore I tried again, sticking to good old Mary and remade everything with Amaretto - they taste much better, trust me!

Ingredients 

200g glacier cherries

1tbsp Amaretto

100g dark chocolate

50g milk chocolate

150g unsalted butter

120g caster sugar

6 medium eggs 

60g ground almonds

90g plain flour

For the topping
60g unsalted butter

1 tube icing (any colour)

2tbsp Amaretto

100g dark chocolate

100ml whipping cream
60g icing sugar (not in image)

Instructions

These instructions can also be followed from The Great British Bake Off book

1 | Heat your oven to 180°C. Place aside 16 glacier cherries into a small bowl and cover with the Amaretto. Stir, then leave in the fridge to soak until needed.

2 | Put the chopped chocolate (dark and milk) into a heatproof bowl. Set over a pan of hot water and melt gently. Remove the bowl from the pan and stir the chocolate until smooth, then leave to cool.

3 | Put the soft butter and sugar into a mixing bowl and beat with an electric mixer or wooden spoon until light and creamy.

4 | Add the egg yolks one at a time, beating well after each addition.

5 | Beat in the cooled chocolate.

6 | Sift the almonds and flour into the bowl and fold in with a large spoon or spatula.

7 | Put the egg whites into a large bowl or electric mixer and whisk until they form soft peaks.

8 | Spoon the mixture into a pre-greased rectangular tin and leave to bake for 20-25 minutes. Remove from the oven and set aside until completely cooled. Whilst waiting for the sponge to cool, make up the icing by beating the butter an icing sugar (for the topping) until creamy. Add 1 tablespoon of Amaretto and mix thoroughly.

9 | Cut the sponge into 16 equally sized squares. Turn the squares upside down and remove a plug of cake from the centre of each piece (using either a small knife or an apple corer). Make sure the hole is large enough to fit one cherry in. Add a cherry into each of the holes in half the sponge squares, and fill the other halves in with the icing. Squash the halves together so each cake square has one cherry and one icing side.

10 | Make a chocolate ganache by melting the dark chocolate as before. Heat the whipping cream until hot, but don't let it boil. Stir the chocolate and cream together until completely combined and leave to cool slightly. Stir gently before use. Carefully dip the cake squares one at a time into the ganache and use a spatula to smooth down the sides and put the ganache on the top. Using the icing tube, decorate the parcels however you wish.

11 | Leave in the fridge to cool and harden for approximately 75 minutes and you're all done!

So...they don't look anything like Mary Berry's and look more like a five year old made them, but for a second attempt I'm pretty proud...at least Pete agrees that they taste yummy!

Mrs Atha's Cafe | Foodie Review

In the backstreets of the high end shopping district of Leeds, close to the city market, lies a quaint, small coffee shop called Mrs Atha's. I had read a lot about this coffee shop before deciding to go along with my parents. Expecting to find a small, independent coffee shop that did some yummy homemade cakes was my expectation, but what I was greeted with was an amazing smell of fresh coffee and walnuts, with enough variety of cake to please every individual, including vegan and vegetarian options.

My parents and I went in for breakfast on a Sunday morning, and were outside the cafe a little early, just before 10am. We wandered to the bus stops around the corner where my Dad wanted to photograph a large piece of graffiti before heading back, and were surprised to find that after just five minutes of us being there, by 10:04am, the place was full of people bustling around ordering coffee. Mrs Atha's has such a unique feel to it, with large hand written menu boards, plates full of amazing looking homemade cakes and walls covered in old photographs and art works, combined with the large, thick wooden tables and old-style chairs and benches, making it feel both cosy and vintage at the same time.

We started with a pot of tea, which I was pleasantly surprised to find was loose leaf tea, rather than tea bags, and came with a timer so we could time our tea perfectly - just one of the little touches that makes Mrs Atha's special and different. The tea was really tasty and delivered in such a beautiful fashion, complete with a miniature milk bottle and proper vintage cups and saucers. The mis-match nature of the cups and saucers, even down to the spoons, which were all crested, gave it a really special vibe, and made you feel like you were sitting in someone living room, having afternoon tea, giving it a really relaxed environment.

For breakfast, I had scrambled eggs on toast with bacon and black pudding, similar to my Dad, whilst my Mum tried the pancakes with summer berries. The first thing I noticed about my breakfast was the decadent plate that it was delivered on, different once agin from my parents, but all unique and intricate patterns. The food was incredible, and very reasonably priced, with each element being yummy in its own way. I'm not a massive fan of scrambled eggs, but I had heard good things, so dived in! The eggs were incredible - I'm not sure how they cooked them, but they weren't dry like I have experienced scrambled eggs to be in the past, but were fluffy and buttery - something I have never experienced before, but something I would definitely recommend to everyone to try! The bacon was organic, as was the black pudding, and you would taste the incredible freshness of all the food. The toast was also a highlight, buttery and crispy granary bread, with options for gluten free bread also!

I was slightly jealous of my Mum's pancakes, which were thick and fluffy and covered in delicious honey, summer fruits and sprinkles with icing sugar, giving them a vintage American feel, even better than the pancakes I experienced in a real New York Cafe! 

My Dad also tried some of the cake, sharing some of his coffee cake between the three of us. The cake was so delicious - impressive as I usually find cake quite dry and tend to avoid it - although the coffee taste in the cake was so yummy, not like other coffee cakes I have tried where all the flavour comes through the icing. The icing was thick and creamy and I'm definitely going back to try some more of their incredible looking cakes. I had my eye on the brownies which looked gooey and to die for!

The staff were also really lovely and attentive. They all seemed to be young, possibly students, but their personalities seemed to fit the unique vintage style of the cafe - if that makes sense. Initially when we walked in, we thought there were quite a lot of staff members for such a small place, although we soon realised that it was an incredibly well oiled machine, with each staff member in charge of a different station, making the service run very smoothly and efficiently, including one staff member showing people to their seats, something which is unusual for a cafe, but something that gave it an extra special feeling.

Mrs Atha's is an amazingly special place, with unique vintage crockery and even more unique cakes and coffees (including teas and coffees from around the world - thought I would strongly recommend Indian tea). If you are ever in Leeds, I would definitely not recommend missing out.

Low Fat Summer Spaghetti Bolognese | Recipe

So, Summer isn't generally associated with food such as Spaghetti Bolognese in the UK, but I can't help when I think of warm weather and perfect food combinations, of my parents talking of their holiday to Italy where pasta was eaten all the time, and vegetables were in abundance - certainly sounds good to me! I thought, therefore, that I would share my Summer version of my Spaghetti Bolognese with you, which used vegetables such as leeks rather than celery and mustard seeds as a spice to give it a kick. By using fresh vegetables, extra lean mince, and making my own sauce rather than using a packet or jar sauce, this Spaghetti Bolognese isn't just yummy, is a much healthier version also.

Ingredients (for two people)

200g dried spaghetti (use wholewheat spaghetti for an even healthier option)

1 medium white onion

200g extra lean mince meat

4 large mushrooms

1 leek

3 medium carrots

2 cloves of garlic

1 carton of passata (mine included peppers)

1tsp mustard seeds

1tsp black peppercorns

1tsp oregano

1tsp mixed herbs

1tsp coriander leaf

2tsp rapeseed oil

1/2tsp salt

1 | Chop up all the vegetables into chunky pieces, and finely dice the garlic cloves. Put 1tsp rapeseed oil in a large saucepan on a medium heat. Once hot enough, add the garlic and the onions and fry until the onions are soft.

2 | In another saucepan, add warm water and leave until it starts to boil on a medium-high heat. Once bubbles start to appear, add 1tsp of rapeseed oil and 1/2tsp of salt and turn down to a medium heat. This will allow for the spaghetti to cook better in the salt water and the rapeseed oil, as well as being a healthier alternative to other oils, will allow for the spaghetti to cook without sticking together.

3 | Add the mince and stir well until the meat starts to brown. Add the carrots and leeks to the onions and garlic and let cook until the leeks are softened (the carrots will continue to soften throughout cooking). Make sure to stir often.

4 | Add the spaghetti to the boiling water and allow to cook for approximately 15 minutes on a medium heat.

5 | Crush together, in a pestle and mortar, the mustard seeds, oregano, black peppercorns, mixed herbs and coriander leaf, until a fine powder. Add to the bolognese mixture and stir in thoroughly.

6 | Make sure to stir the spaghetti after half the cooking time.

7 | Once the mince is almost cooked, add the mushrooms and the passata and stir well. Turn the heat up to a medium-high heat and leave to simmer for ten minutes.

8 | Boil some water in a kettle before draining the spaghetti. Whilst the spaghetti is in the drainer, wash off the salt excess salt from the spaghetti with the boiling water. This will get rid of all the excess salt and stop the spaghetti from sticking together as it cools.

9 | The bolognese will now be cooked. Give it a good stir before serving. Finish off with a sprinkle of Italian Herbs or oregano for an added extra.

I hope you get to try, and enjoy my take on a Spaghetti Bolognese. Let me know what you think in the comments below, and let me know what your favourite food is to eat over the summer!

Carrot And Swede Slightly Spiced Soup | Recipe

As part of my healthy kick start in 2015 I have been discovering some recipes here and there from a number of recipe books on how to cook more healthy and notorious foods without them being incredibly boring – something that I find tends to put me off dieting when all I am allowed for lunch is a crisp bread with a bit of cucumber! However, after sampling possibly every diet under the sun, I have come to the conclusion that cooking foods that you find interesting and are your favourite foods, but just cooking them with something altered to a healthier alternative or by cooking your ingredients in a different way, for example roasting instead of frying – something that I’ve started doing a lot recently.

One of my favourite foods to eat in the transition from winter to spring is carrot and coriander soup. An old recipe I found uses chicken stock and fried garlic, onions and fresh chives together before adding carrots and the spices. Carrot and coriander soup, whilst delicious, is quite boring – let’s be honest. So, I have designed a slightly healthier alternative (not that it needs one) to a classic. Tis recipe is enough for about six to eight decent sized portions. Soup is also a good one to start with I feel, as well, because it’s so easy to batch make and either stick in your fridge or freezer for another day!

What will you need?

1 tsp Flora Cuisine Cooking Liquid

2 Spanish onions

2 cloves of garlic

1 tsp ground coriander

A handful of fresh coriander

450g carrots

450g swedes

1 large sweet potato

2 litres water

1 Knorr vegetable stockpot

1 tsp mustard seeds

1 tsp black peppercorns

1 tsp chilli flakes

1 | Pre-heat your oven to 200 degrees (C). Chop your onions into medium sided chunks. Place them in a large bowl and coat in the Flora Cuisine Cooking Liquid as a healthier alternative with 45% less saturated fats – you can use your fingers. Add in the ground coriander and mix once again. Once they are all covered, tip out and place on an oven tray. Peel the garlic cloves, and place these on the same tray as the onions. Once the oven is at temperature, put the onions and garlic in – roasting off these is a great alternative to frying them. They should take about 15-20 minutes to soften enough and start to caramelise.

2 | Bring enough water to the boil for all your vegetables on a high heat. Once this had started to boil, turn the heat to a medium heat until the water is bubbling at a constant rate. Peel the carrots, swede and sweet potato, and chop into small chunks (whatever shape you like) and throw them all into the boiling water. Dependent on what size of chunk you cut, these could take anywhere between 10 and 15 minutes to go soft enough. I also added some extra veg I had to bulk out the soup a little, as I had 75g of broccoli and cauliflower left from the previous nights dinner.

3 | Once the onions and vegetables are done, drain the water from the vegetables, and add 1 litre of fresh water and the onions and garlic. Using a hand blender, blend the mixture in the saucepan until smooth (it doesn’t matter if there is a few chunks left in at this point as we will need to re-blend later on. Put back on the medium heat and leave for 30 minutes until bubbling. 

In a pestle and mortar, crush together the mustard seeds, black pepper corns, half the ground coriander and the chilli flakes and stir into the soup mixture.

5 | Add another litre of water and blend for about 5-10 minutes until as smooth as you like. Add salt and pepper to taste and then add in the stockpot. If you’re using a stock cube, dissolve in the litre of water by boiling the water before adding to the mixture at the start of this step. Put back on a low heat for about an hour and a half, then add the fresh coriander (as thinly chopped as you prefer) and gently stir in. Leave on the low heat for another 10 minutes and then it’s ready to serve!

Serve with a garnish of either ground or preferably fresh coriander on top.

Or why not add some chilli flakes for extra flavour as a garnish for an extra kick. You could even add two to three teaspoons of chilli flakes with the fresh coriander for a spicier soup.

Happy eating!

Five Guys | Restaurant Review

Five Guys came over from the USA and landed another franchise in England in Leeds, West Yorkshire, a few months ago. From the outside, it comes across as another typical American style burger restaurant with a simple menu and a fast food feel. I ventured in to the restaurant in Cardigan Fields in Leeds to check out what all the hype was about...

I was greeted with bright red and white colours all over the place when I walked up to the restaurant, and even more so when going through the doors. The walls are laden with magazine reviews and quotes from American (an more) magazines, newspapers and critics - which is a little overwhelming, and slightly too pushy on the self promotion part when you realise that magazine stories about the chain are in the toilets also. Still, there's nothing bad about having something to read on their toilet!

My initial impression of the menu was that it was incredibly simple, until you reach the checkout till and are presented with a long list of items to add to your order. Offering burgers, hot dogs and other classic American favourites, you can choose any number of toppings for free (except bacon and cheese, which costs) in two sizes - little or regular. Don't be fooled, however, even the little sized burger (which I ordered) is bigger than anything you will ever find in other fast food chains such as Burger King or McDonald's to my surprise! I also ordered a regular fries and a soft drink. The regular fries, as with the burgers, are anything but normal sized. American portions have definitely not been modified to the British pallet in this instance. You can also add a cajun spice to your chips, which, if you like the spicier food, I would definitely recommend. There is also an option to have 'monkey' nuts for free - yes free when you sit at your table - and free drinks refills - what more could you want from a restaurant?

The burger, which I got with bacon, cheese, mushrooms and mustard was incredibly juicy, with a soft floured bun which was really lovely. The cheese is also really nice - and not the 'plastic' cheese I expect from other burger joints. The bacon is also one of the highlights for me - being proper American bacon, thin sliced and crispy - just how I like it - giving the burgers even more of an authentic American feel. Obviously, other toppings are completely to the eaters preference, and there is so many options, there is something to keep everyone happy! The fries were the next highlight for me. They keep the skins on the fries, which is something that I love to do as it gives a much more gourmet appearance and taste to the food. I also got cajun spice on my fries, which were a little spicier than I was expecting, but really tasty if you like spicy food. They can come as a bit of a shock if you're not a fan of very spicy cajun! What makes this feeling of a burning mouth better, however, is the incredible drinks machines at Five Guys! 

The drinks machine was the best feature of the restaurant for me, as I'm a big kid at heart. Upon initial appearance, I was expecting some variety of drink choices, such as Diet Coke, Coca Cola, Fanta and Sprite. I was pleasantly surprised to find that there were options for Schwepps Lemonade (and diet), Dr Pepper, Powerade and other options I never expected to find (including a water button). What made the experience even more fantastic is the variety of flavours you can get with each of the drink options. In the UK we are used to seeing Coca Cola flavours of lime, lemon, cherry and vanilla, however, you can also get cherry and vanilla (mixed), raspberry, strawberry and a variety of other weird and wonderful flavours! And, not just in the Coca Cola, also in the Fanta, Sprite, Lemonade and Powerade amongst others. There are also a number of diet options for each drink (including Zero options) and caffeine free options - which was another surprise to see and something I have never seen sold in a restaurant environment before in Leeds.

Five Guys is a really interesting place to eat in both the food and drink options, and the decor. It's really high quality, tasty food that would satisfy anyone and everyone. The only issue that arrises with their menu is the incredibly limited number of items available, and suitable for vegetarians, with only three or four items on the whole menu (apart from fries) that are vegetarian friendly, and only one which is vegan suitable. The fries are also fried in peanut oil, which is used a lot in their cooking processes, meaning anyone with a nut allergy should probably avoid Five Guys at all costs or avoid most of the items on the menu that would go near the fryers! Although, I would happily go back just for the soft drinks!

Five Guys has an really family friendly feel to it, and has a relaxed atmosphere, making the eater feel like they have just stepped into a diner in the middle of America. It's a fantastic place, and I will definitely be going back to sample all the varieties of burger topping combinations and soft drink options!
