I am slightly obsessed with prawns. They are my absolute favourite protein! Dan however does not appreciate the finer things in life and thinks they are just alright. (I know!) So much so, he rarely ever asks for dishes with them… until now. This prawn dish is quick and super easy to whip up on…

St Patrick’s Day Cupcakes – Guinness & Chocolate Cupcakes with Cream Cheese Icing
It’s St. Patrick’s Day! ☘ Even though I only lived in Ireland for under 3 years, the people I met (who I call friends to this day) made me feel very much at home. Needless to say, I have fond memories of my time there and of course the celebrations and festivities on St Paddy’s…
No bake – baked eggs
While we were in London for my training interviews, we met up with some of my old medical school friends for brunch. I know what you are thinking, poor Dan sat around a bunch of boring doctors talking about medicine all the time. And while it is true that we inadvertently do end up talking…

Julehjerte – Danish Christmas Hearts
I have been putting it off for as long as possible, but it really is difficult when all of the UK has gone Christmas crazy as soon as it hit November. And it’s not that I don’t like Christmas – I mean it’s the most hygge time of the year, so of course I love…
Spinach Dal
With headlines like “the big chill”, temperatures hovering around freezing and the days getting shorter, I needed comfort food stat. While my husband waxes lyrical about a Sunday roast – and they are good! My equivalent of a Sunday roast is a South Indian dal dish called Sambar, coupled with a spicy egg sambal, vege…
