Here's a yummy Father's Day treat! Homemade and delicious. I love just biting into crisp fried prawns and so will he. These are truly special, from my kitchen to you 😋

Ingredients

250g uncooked fresh prawns, shelled and de-veined
4 spring onions, roughly chopped
Scotch bonnet chilli, a sliver
4 cloves garlic, roughly chopped
2 tsp fresh thyme
3 tsp onion granules
A good grinding of black pepper, optional
Pinch of salt

Blend all the above ingredients, scoop tablespoonfuls and fry

Frozen prawns are fine, just defrost first. You can add as much chilli as you want. Tried and tested. My son felt it needed more of a kick. Up to you really, but they were really tasty, even if l say so myself 🤣

Happy Father's Day 😀👍🥂🦐🍤

I love stuffed dates as their such a fun way to serve canapes. Here I've stuffed medjool dates with mashed plantain and crunchy peanut butter.

The plantain has to be firm and ripe, meaning they shd be yellow skinned with no black markings. Just a few black markings you can get away with. You don't want them overripe and too soft . Steam will take 5-7 minutes, then allow plantain to cool before mashing with peanut butter 🥜 😋😋 Stuff dates and enjoy 😀😋

In my cookbook A Date with Plantain, I stuff dates with plantain and cream cheese. There are loads of great ideas using plantain, both sweet and savoury. If you'd like to try these yummy dishes, my book is available on Amazon.

Just tried making these red lentil pancakes and they're totally delicious 😋😋😋

Soak the lentils (l soaked a cup of lentils) for four hours. Drain and blend till smooth with some water and fry. That made six delicious pancakes. I'm imagining all the tasty fillings mmm...

I spiced mine with toasted cumin, garlic and onion granules, paprika, cayenne pepper and a little salt. Finished it with spring onions and YUM!

It was ladies day on today's course, and here they are mastering a caramel cage. It was warm and cosy with a log fire, as it rained outside. We cracked up a few times during our spice workshop, the funniest was when the spice 'long pepper with its rough exterior was compared to a nail file, apt description 🤣😂🤣

'Hausafu nkatse' (Hausa nuts), as we call these in Ghana. These delicious peanuts are sold by street hawkers in West Africa, everywhere you turn... and are truly the most delicious ever!!! Every trip back home to Ghana I make sure I come back with a massive tin full of them! Grilled plantain and peanuts... almost heaven 🤣😂

I felt a little nervous as April arrived, as it is

I felt a little nervous as April arrived, as it is the second anniversary of my darling mum's passing but now I'm full of gratitude for what a superb month it's been for me in so many ways, will share later.

Massive thanks to @pennybird and camera for choosing me as one of her 18 characters, and photographing us for her exhibition held at the Eric Morecambe Centre. I love that my portrait made the cover of Muddy Stilletos and also featured in Hertfordshire Living Magazine's April issue 👍👍😀

I've also got to keep all the lovely photographs Penny took at sundown in a field of stunning yellow flowers 💃💃 love them all, thank you Penny X

Thank you April, you weren't so scary after all.
