My homemade pizza journey

I was inspired to make my own pizza by a marvellous BBC presenter, namely Lorraine Pascale, after she demonstrated a fool-proof dough recipe & an even easier way to shape the pizza. She also caught my imagination after using some unique fusion toppings, such as harissa paste or hummus as a base, topped with chorizo, herbs, feta cheese, ….the variety […]

Now I am sure any person of my generation remembers the metal cups which our parents used to hand us when on caravan or camping trips. Not only did […]

Phad Thai: a fairly simple recipe apart from the chopping.

I […]

We have the same […]
