I’m half Sri-Lankan so it will come as no suprise that I come from a family who love curry. Fortunately so does my husband. I also love cooking curry, there is something amazing about the aromas, the merging of the colours and the mingling of all the spices into the final complex flavour. So when

Today was one of those days when we were starting to distinctly lack in terms of vegetables in the house…. it took me a little while to get inspiration for what to make with green beans, baby sweetcorn and mushrooms. A flick through my handwritten recipe book came up trumps though…. I love having my
Homemade elderflower wine really isn’t a hard to make as you’d think and it’s pretty fun to do too. We discovered this a couple of years ago when I was planning small girls dedication party. We had the most amazing garden party with bunting, homemade yummy food and I had this idea of making elderflower
I am SO glad this recipe worked. My hubby is a huge quiche fan, I’m not particularly but that’s mainly because I just don’t like pastry. So this recipe is the perfect combination as it uses rice as the base making it suitable for me and it still hits the quiche spot for the husband.
