If I’d been served this as a youngster, I’d have saved hours of being held hostage at the dinner table. “Carrot Halwa” (or Indian Carrot [...]

The taste of Summer: Pineapple & Apple Salsa

I’m not going to lie -this salsa is TO DIE FOR, and it has Summer written all over it! It tastes best when served on a warm evening, consumed watching a beautiful magenta sunset, whilst a gentle breeze blows and the sound of  a ukelele plays in the background. Or hey, any other setting will [...]
