This is one of my favourite ways to prepare rice. The flavours are just simply amazing and give a great boost to the rice in terms of taste. It’s absolutely a perfect variety to the usual plain boiled white rice, especially if it’s not the aromatic rice varieties.. As is […]

Goes without saying… this is one of my favourite trotters recipe yet. It’s fairly quick (considering that these are trotters) and flavours are just amazing! Second helping where asked for and plates where wiped clean… that only means one thing- DELICIOUS! If you are pork lover in general, why not […]
