If you follow me on Instagram you’ll know by now that some of my recipes come about from just ‘going with the flow’ and not really following any recipe. This Chicken Fiesta is one of those. I really wasn’t up to cooking curry one evening and instead decided to cook this; I made a marinade, […]
Mini Afelia, AKA my daughter, loves the recipes she learns at school. In fact, so do I! These Rock Buns were originally made in her Food Tech class (they never called it that in my day, we knew it as Home Economics, meh!) and we’ve had an overload of these buns lately. It so happens […]
Afelia’s Buttermilk Cupcakes were whipped up one day when me and my daughter were baking in late 2015. Using buttermilk is something I enjoy in my cupcakes as I find it tends to produce a softer, fluffier cake. The addition of buttermilk always adds a softness and spongy texture to any sort of bake, whether it’s cakes […]
Whenever I’m planning on cooking a meal for dinner, I always decide on a main dish and then think about sides to go with that dish. But let’s face it, sometimes deciding what to cook as a side dish is really difficult! Here’s where this Creamy Potato Gratin comes in, it’s the perfect side dish for […]
So you’ve tried the rest, now it’s time to try the BEST…..I’m talking roast chickens of course! Afelia’s Ultimate Roast Chicken is a recipe you can’t afford to miss. This roast makes a hearty meal, perfect for this time of year when the weather starts to take a dip and you need serious food to […]

Afelia’s Falafels were the result of being put on the spot one day when my brother in law turned up at my house (over a year ago) and I discovered to my shock horror […]
This is a a quick recipe guide on how I made my Mirga Fish Steaks which many of you watched over on my instastory on Instagram. I’ve learnt in life that sometimes the best dishes we enjoy are the ones that involve a handful of ingredients and are really quite simple to execute. This is […]
Battered fish has always had a special place in my heart ever since I can recall. Fridays at primary school were special as they were ‘fish and chips day’, and they couldn’t come soon enough for me! I loved the light and crispy texture of the cod rolls that we were served for lunch, the […]
So here is how to make my Superfast Pitta Bread Pizzas! This is the quick version, the original recipe involves cooking the tomato sauce with a few more ingredients and definitely has a fuller flavour (which means it is superior in terms of taste), but when you’re pressed for time this is a great alternative! If […]
I’m one of those people who will buy a rub or marinade and then add a whole load of other ingredients to it because I have very little faith in it actually delivering the taste I want! This was exactly what happened when I purchased an instant rub intended for chicken, fish and meat from […]
