Spare a thought for some us who aren’t being paid to endorse brands or ingredients & are just trying to help people. Also getting flack for 3 ingredient recipe ideas with snarky comments from people. It’s just totally UNNECESSARY, I’m trying to help people the only way I know how

Proper tandoori style chicken (made indoors!) last night for dinner with the kids. They love it and it’s got a pretty decent 🌶 kick to it. Took 2 minutes to make and 45 mins to bake. Can’t share recipe yet but it’s on it way!

McYes! My teenage years working in McDonalds were not wasted... learned a lot of life skills including how to make just about every burger they sold! Sausage and egg McMuffins rock and I had to make some today after a horrible start to my morning (plumbing related, don’t ask!)

Watching the Jamie Oliver documentary was such a good reminder why we all fell for Jamie. I learned so much from him, didn’t know what Thai green curry was or pancetta or how easy it was to cook fantastic food. Love him or hate him, he made us brave and he has done a LOT for food

Getting trolled. Trolled because I put ketchup on my bloody Persian rice! Trolling by, I’m sad to say, my own people.... Iranian people because I put ketchup on my rice. Both here and Instagram. I’m not saying I feel victimised but for FUCKS sake people, can we get a grip? Jerks.

One year ago today, this nutter got down on one knee in the kitchen (whilst I was drunk and mostly singing) and asked me to marry him. I said yes, we got hitched recently and I still look back and think BLOODY HELL he’s brave & I’m the luckiest girl in the world!

Today marks 13 years on Twitter. In that year (2011) I was made redundant from my job, had a mountain of debt, lost my Grandmother and didnt have a clue what to do with myself. Thankfully I became a Chef (with a LOT of blood/sweat/tears in between) and it worked out for the best!

The main way in which lockdown has changed me is that I’m not wasting time sugar-coating responses to anyone anymore. If someone serves me up anything negative, derogatory or spiteful/tasteless, I’ve become absolutely razor sharp and savage in my response. I kind of like this tbh

Homemade bacon and egg naan (a salute to Dishoom) I use tortilla wraps, I mix ‘Geetas’ mango chilli chutney with Tiptree ketchup, fry eggs, grill streaky bacon and pile it into the wrap with spring onion slivers, cream cheese and coriander. So good, quick and easy.

Pet peeve? When people write to you wanting career advice, you give them all you’ve got knowledge-wise, encourage them to work hard etc and they don’t even bother sending a reply, let alone a thank you. Lesson 1... in any industry, be gracious, especially when asking for advice.
