Chicken teriyaki poke bowl

Chicken teriyaki poke bowl

A poke bowl (pronounced “poh-KAY bowl”) is a Hawaiian dish that has its roots in Japanese cuisine. “Poke” means “cut into pieces” and the name refers to the slices or cubes of raw fish that are served in a bowl along with rice, dressing vegetables and seasonings. Our version uses chicken thighs, avocado and exotic mushrooms because they’re a match made in heaven! Play around with your favourite ingredients and let us know what your winning combo is!

Herby quinoa salad

Herby quinoa salad

This is one of my raid-the-fridge salads. You know the one you make when you don’t know what to make? When you end up standing in front of the fridge just staring at its contents? Well, this salad is a great way to clean out the veg in your fridge, but you can use sugar snap peas, red pepper, beetroot, broccoli, asparagus, peas, gosh, the combinations are endless!

Buttered Popcorn Ice Cream

Buttered Popcorn Ice Cream

I first had this ice cream in London served with salted caramel tart. Wow! What a combination! I started experimenting at home & this is the result: tastes just like popcorn, probably just a “little” less kind on the hips though! If you don’t have an ice cream maker, freeze it for 4 hours, cut into pieces and blend again.

Cheesecake ice cream

This tastes just like real cheesecake except that it’s ice cream which makes it the absolute perfect combination! It takes a little bit of time to make but the end result is definitely worth it!

Cheat’s salted caramel ice cream with pecan nut brittle

Cheat’s salted caramel ice cream with pecan nut brittle

Who doesn’t love ice cream? And who doesn’t love caramel? So to combine the two is a marriage made in heaven! This recipe is embarrassingly quick and easy! You don’t even need an electric mixer; you can just mix it all by hand. Peel’s makes awesome honey pecan nut brittle which you can buy online or get Ooh La La salted pecan nut brittle from Yuppiechef. I often make individual ice cream cakes instead of a tub of ice cream. If I do that, I make of crumbed Tennis biscuits (200g) mixed with melted butter (75g).
