Welcome to My Kitchen

I started cooking 20 years ago, and every day has been a new experience. You might not believe it but i was a person who could not fry an egg...but 20 years on..i feel i can take on any challenge.

I'm constantly trying out new recipes and looking for innovative ways to improvise my dishes and make it more easier. The easier the cooking gets and the less time it takes the more time for me to relax with my loved one.
But easy and quick does not mean compromise on taste or the way a dish is presented. I take great pride in decorating my dishes as i am a firm believer of ' The first impression counts'.

I decided to start this blog to help others like me discover that cooking a feast does not require slogging for hours in the kitchen all it requires is the right ingredients, tools and a creative mind and voila! you will have your family and guests begging for second helpings....

My inspiration for cooking has always been my husband...he loves his food..and like the saying goes 'A way to a man's heart is through his stomach'..i can confidently say it's true and it works wonders for a happy relationship...but he is also my best critic and competition.

I've got two little girls both who love to eat, and my eldest always enjoys helping me in the kitchen. I will try to post more kid friendly recipes that can be fun to eat and make together.

Hope you enjoy this blog and find it useful...please do feel free to leave any feedback or comments...remember there's always room for improvement!!!

Garlic Herb steak with caramelised onions in white wine port

Steak is one of my all time favourite food.. I love it cooked medium rare and enjoy experimenting with different flavours.. I tried a different combo today and left me craving for more.


Ingredients

4 steaks, choose any cut of your choice
Asparagus
Sugar drop cherry tomatoes
Potatoes , cut in cubes
2 garlic pods chopped finely
Mixed herbs

Steak marinade

2 tbsp Worcester sauce
2-3 garlic pods chopped finely
1-2 tbsp mixed herbs
Olive oil

Steak sauce

1 large onion
1 red chilli
2-3 tbsp white wine port
Salt & pepper for seasoning
Drizzle of olive oil


Method:

1. Marinade the steak , season well and keep aside.

2.  On a baking tray mix potatoes, olive oil, herbs, chopped garlic, salt and pepper. Cook in a preheated oven for 20 mins until golden.

3. Place asparagus and tomatoes on another baking tray, drizzle olive oil and season, cook for 10 mins in oven until tender.

4. To prepare the sauce, drizzle olive oil, gently fry the onions, once golden add in the chilli. Sauté and add the wine. Season well with herbs, salt and pepper. Cook until onions are caramelised but be careful not to burn.

4. Heat a griddle pan, brush butter and fry the steak, depending on your preference. I normally fry 2 mins each side .

5. Serve hot with some garlic bread.
