I recently posted one of my favourite spicy recipes Chicken Korma. Now I am the first to say (as I did) that my camera skills can be rather, shall we say, marginal at times! There are some recipes that well, just look blah on the plate. Tasty in the tummy though. Now if I had added a few beautifully coloured vegetables, or even a tiny bit of garnish things may have looked better.

Anyway, I have just found the perfect accompaniment to the Korma. This simple but tasty looking (better camera skills!), recipe from Devika’s Kitchen, I think will be a perfect addition to Chicken Korma!

Thanks Devika.

What I love about giving up refined sugar is all the creative ways people look to recreate chocolatey treats. I love the use of coconut milk 🙂 all I can say is oh yum they look scrumptious! Thanks to Hungry Club!

I was always the BIGGEST fan of bounty chocolate bars. The chocolate shell, the coconutty centre – a combination of flavours I completely love. It was one of my favourite special snacks.

More recently (after I decided to learn to make more things from scratch) I tried my hand at my own version of these favourite chocolates. You can make them as bars or truffles but I find truffles to be the easiest snack size and also less messy to coat in some delicious dark chocolate.

If you’re feeling super keen or creative, you could even try making your own homemade chocolate for the shell. Perhaps that’ll be my next attempt…

Chocolate Coconut “Bounty” Truffles (makes approx 20 balls)

2 cups dried coconut (thread or chips)
3 tbsp full-fat coconut milk (is best if you use the ‘thicker’ portion from the top of the can)
1 tbsp brown rice syrup…

They say a picture says a thousand words, but some things just end up looking like what they are and really don’t add too much art, life or the universe. Trying to make a pot of Homemade Mayo look anything other than a pot of whitish sauce really doesn’t work. My case in point is my Hollandaise Sauce. See a small bowl of yellow sauce.

So don’t blame me for this but here you go, a jar of white mayo – tastes delish though!
