Kale and Prawn Gyoza

1st January 2021 By Urvashi Roe

A simple recipe for making delicious gyoza dumplings at home using up bits of broccoli, cabbage or kale. It’s a lovely way to spend a few hours catching up with friends making batches. Equally a nice way to get some quiet alone time in the kitchen.

The Easiest Courgette Flower Fritters

6th September 2020 By Urvashi Roe

I have had an abundance of courgettes this year. I am still eating the ones that grew to marrow size while we were on holiday a few weeks ago! Of course the best thing about growing courgettes is the flowers. I’ve had weekly meals since July of these fritters. There are lots of recipes and […]

Do you play Scrabble? My husband and I have been playing for over 20 years. Sometimes cards and sometimes Scrabble. The score sheets are so old that we don’t bother anymore. In fact now the challenge is less about points but rather about the best word. Last Christmas I got some lovely Scrabble biscuit cutters. […]

It’s been nearly two months now since our cafe closed. I stopped baking for a while. I stopped blogging  for a while too. Truth be told there was just too much still going on closing up accounts, getting rid of stock and equipment. All that alongside a full time job and overseas travel. Weekends just […]

A refreshing Gujarati streetfood salad – Mango Chaat

25th May 2016 By Urvashi Roe

It’s mango season! Last week I bought a box of 12 Kesar mangoes for £10. So expensive! My mother will wait until boxes hit £5 but I’m too greedy and can barely contain myself walking from vendor to vendor on Ealing Road in Wembley.  I bought two boxes because we ate one in the car. […]

It’s nearly time for the London Marathon.  My training has gone well in the main.  I had a bit of a lapse this week as I’ve not been feeling well.  Truth be told I’m struggling a little on the food side.  I hit my fundraising target within a few months of signing up, my training […]

Oven Dried Tomatoes – A Taste Of Summer

24th February 2016 By Urvashi Roe

The sun has been on good form in my little corner of London recently.  The parks seem greener, the blossoms seem to be out in bloom again and even the frost looks inviting.  I hope it is a taste of the summer sunshine to come as I am most definitely a summer girl.  I blame the fact that […]
