What an absolutely fabulous afternoon we had on Fr

What an absolutely fabulous afternoon we had on Friday! Two hours of fun sharing spice knowledge. Great guests, new and old friends as we all sipped my homemade 'sobolo'... and chatted about grains of selim, prekese, grains of paradise, baobab, calabash nutmegs, the spice wars and more...

The Little Red Arts was such a great choice for the demo, with the bar in the corner and surrounded by beautiful paintings all around. Can't wait to have another session there!

Massive thanks to all who came and l look forward to more demos, so see you again soon 👍

How about some refreshing ice tea to face the warm

How about some refreshing ice tea to face the warm weather?

This is one my mum used to make in Ghana. She would add sugar and cloves to tea and let it go cold. Then she'd add sliced lemon and ice to a tall glass and add her cold tea.

I've flavoured mine with star anise and added ice and frozen citrus slices to my tall glass, then my cold tea and some fresh mint.

Enjoy!

Breezin' with George Benson, on a hot hot day! No cooking, just chillin' with an ice cold drink, nuts, plantain crisps, roast maize and some mini chorizos

Here's a simple homemade drink with sliced citrus, sliced red apple, strawberries, a drizzle of angostura bitters and a spoonful of sugar syrup. All over loads of ice.

Sweet smoky veggies! I finished this off with some

Sweet smoky veggies! I finished this off with some feta cheese as you can see. For a vegan dish just leave out the cheese. It's delicious with hummus, rice, couscous and really whatever you want. I'm definitely going to have it with my next barbecue 😋

Ingredients are so simple.

Mixed bell peppers, mushrooms,
fresh herbs with smoked paprika, garlic granules, turmeric, black pepper and a little salt. Drizzle with oil and roast on fan 180 for half an hour or until peppers are charred round the edges.

I haven't given any specific quantities, just go for a spoonful or more, if you like it spicy. Smoked paprika is the defining flavour here.

Enjoy!

This is 'feel good' food.

Wimbledon 🎾 is one of my best times of the year. As l relax and watch my favourite players slice tennis balls across the court, l reach for a wing or two to calm my jangling nerves 😋😋😋

If you'd like to try my 'Wimbledon Wings', here's the recipe below.

Ingredients

1lb chicken wings
Handful of fresh herbs - sage, rosemary and thyme
2 tbsp garlic granules
1 tbsp onion granules
2 tsp ground ginger
1 tbsp cayenne pepper
2 tsp black pepper
2 tsp turmeric
2 tbsp sesame oil

Preheat oven to 200c/180f/gas mark 6

In a mixing bowl add the chicken and remaining ingredients.

Mix well to coat the wing pieces.

Cover and refrigerate for at least two hours or overnight.

Tip onto a lined baking tray, and roast for half an hour or until cooked through, golden and crispy.

Enjoy!

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 😋

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

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 😀👍🥂🦐🍤
