So how to stay cool in this hot humid weather … ? Anyone for chai??

I know it doesn’t seem to be the obvious answer but trust me a nice hot steamy cup of chai with those soothing spices just does the job perfectly. I use English tea , green cardamom , black cardamom , fennel, cinnamon , black pepper, all cooked in a pan with almond milk and a dash of honey to sweeten 👌🏽😋👌🏽

I’ve treated myself to some indulgent Nourish - grow,cook,enjoy cacao bites 👊🏽🥰

What a lovely evening with and her family 🙏🏽🥰👊🏽😋 where I got to taste some delicious Pakistani food 🫶🏽 So great to eat home cooked food and get to hear her story and her passion for cooking and teaching others about her native cuisine. If you live in the Lydney area (or even if you don’t 😜) you need to check out and book on her cookery days and or pop up events … you will not be disappointed and like me enjoy such culinary delights as lamb karahi and chicken biryani and homemade naan 😜😋🙌🏽

Aloo gobi is a popular dish in many Indian restaurants … It’s a fave of mine and one which is quick and easy to create, and you can mix it up by adding other vegetables too 💪🏽👊🏽. You can substitute cauliflower for sprouts for a festive alternative this Christmas 🙌🏽
