This is my ‘cool’ recipe. If you know me, you would know I am anything but cool, but this makes me feel quite young and in the zone. And I’ll tell you how uncool I can be – I tried to be fashionable with a pair of fancy sneakers that have short laces. Apparently you’re not supposed to tie them. I even put on a pair of jeans for this, and within a few steps I actually bent down to tie them up. I’m all about innovation but trainer with laces hanging untied – not so much. Kids, I tell you!

Anyways, this recipe is for the kids, particularly the cool kids that don’t tie their sneakers! It is perfect for travels and is an innovative wrap to place in the tiffin box. You could hold off on the spice level, and most of the ingredients are substitutable. For example, the Greek yoghurt is better used when consumed at home, but if it’s for travels opt for cream cheese. Salsa can be replaced with pico de galle, jalapenos can be added, so can paneer shreds, lettuce, spinach, mushrooms…. You get the gist!

The cool part is the roll up and serving it in a platter! The sauce is juicy enough within the roll that a side dip isn’t necessary.

Cheese on Toast

This is a classic British snack inspired recipe - a mix between Welsh rarebit and cheese on toast - which is an open faced toast with a medley of melted cheese and dash of Worcestershire sauce. i add an egg into the cheese mix to help with setting of it, to add a bit of protein and to get that quiche-y type of topping! to this mix i also add a touch of mustard (English mustard is preferred!) for that little kick.

This is the best recipe I've ever discovered. As kids, my brother and I gorged on flaky-but-sturdy cheese straws on the streets of London. Perfectly seasoned, crispy cheese on top and toasted sesame seeds, peppery rosemary - oh my - so so divine! I adapted a recipe I found whilst scrolling Instagram and found this too good to be true. So a Saturday morning when I had three little children under my wings, I set about this recipe - and my God, it worked! It's a dleight to eat, and great to make with the kids!

Roasted chickpeas caught my eye on Instagram and the rave around it got me intrigued. Now I know we have the fried chickpeas in chakna snacks, and all that jazz, but roasted? It sounded like a hell of a lot of work. But when faced with a dabbo of boiled chickpeas, and in no mood to make hummus, I thought, let me give this recipe a go. Fairly straightforward, the steps are easy. The seasonings I chose made them even more delicious, and yes, they were crunchy and delicious. But I thought a little more crunch would have been great, so I added a little hint of rice flour to the next batch. Once they are out of the oven, stir with the rest of the seasonings, and in my opinion, eat straight away, warm and full of flavour and love. Don’t bother placing in a jar and storing – it doesn’t last long enough.
