Plantains are the banana’s favourite sibling. Actually, scrap that. They are the banana’s mother, and a mother that rocks!!!! Unlike the banana, plantains HAVE to be cooked before eaten (please don’t try to eat them raw) because of its high starch content but like a banana, you peel them before cooking them. You can get […]

This is such a quick, easy and tasty burger with that added kick of spice from the CHAM CHAM Hot Pepper Sauce, that you can either fry in a pan or whack on the barbecue – you’ll be making them all summer, I hope! Using a cast iron plate on the cooker works just as […]

I’m baaaack! I know I know, I’ve been (very) lax and neglected posting any recipes for months now – sorry!! Got a bit caught up with launching Cham Cham Hot Pepper Sauce, having stalls at Africa at Spitalfields and Well Street Market Christmas Festival, whilst still hosting a few supper clubs at mine and at […]

With summer coming (when the sun will definitely shine more than it has done this spring) this is the perfect chicken dish to start the barbecuing season off with.
