I am warning you right now – when you make this, your kitchen is going to smell so incredible that previously unknown neighbours will be lining up and knocking at your door! I think it’s the charred, candied macadamias that do it for me. They go so well with the sweetness of the maple, warmth from the cinnamon and that spicy kick of cayenne pepper! I made this as a savoury dish but honestly, I could eat this for dessert, it tastes that indulgent!…
I’ve heard of cauliflower being used as a rice substitute for quite a while now, and I’ve finally gotten around to giving it a go myself! I don’t believe in carbophobia and I love my rice, but it’s nice to mix it up sometimes, with the added benefit of squeezing in some extra veg in our diets! It only took a couple of minutes to put together and I have to say I really enjoyed it – very simple and light and fluffy in texture. I was in a bit of a rush when I made this, so there’s minimal ingredients and very little cooking time. Definitely looking forward to cooking up another fried rice with some more ingredients!…
A few years ago I lived and worked in India. I was based in Mumbai for 3 months, which was the most insane and wonderful experience. I have so many great memories from my stay. Walking down my road was a total sensory overload; a cacophony of people haggling at the market, rickshaws tooting and Bollywood hits being played on the radio. Ladies dressed in vibrant saris that would glisten under the blistering sun. The smell of chai being brewed in the street next to the intensely fragrant spice stands. It was total chaos but so much fun!…
