Park Life Easter

The start of my Bank Holiday Monday:

Woke up with sore head from lucky tequila shot

Went to bikram yoga without drinking enough water


Prepared 6 salads, one curry, baked two loaves, and made some prawns look pretty tasty.


All completed before 2:15pm.


Pretty impressive I think.


Salad one:

salad potatoes
pine kernels
rocket
olive oil
lemon juice



Salad two:

On beetroot grate orange zest
top with mozzarella


Salad three:
pasta
tapenade
cherry tomatoes


Salad four:

salad potatoes
sliced egg
cherry tomatoes
spinach


Salad five:

blackberries with sugar
raspberries on top with drizzle of honey
sliced strawberries on top with lemon juice


Salad six:

cucumber
pineapple chunks
nigella seeds
white wine vinegar


Chicken curry:
chicken breast in slices fry with olive oil and cumin seeds
add spinach
2tsp turmeric
1tsp chilli powder
1 tsp garam masala
whole cherry tomatoes



Hot Prawns

chilli sauce
lemon juice
hazelnut oil



Indian Prawns:

1 tsp turmeric
1tsp cumin powder
1tsp chilli powder
whole chilli pricked but not chopped

When the bbq is ready the prawns will take about 4 minutes on each side.


A great Monday which felt like a Sunday.x

As i was on my regular afternoon stroll through the 'Fields of London' i stumbled across the lovely Mita surrounded by delicious picnic/bbq treats. I thoroughly enjoyed all dishes, but a few of my favs were:

*home baked bread with sundried tomatoes - A perfect starter to a BBQ, Dipped in humous on a summers day!

* Chicken Curry/Spinach - Succulent chicken breast pieces with perfectly cooked tomatoes that melted in my mouth, with a tangy curry flavour! This i could definitely have a whole plate of.

*bbq prawns - Both delicious but EXTRA spicy prawns were my favourite!

It's not easy pleasing a veggie but i would definitely eat this all again..and again and again!
My favourites were the potato and rocket salad and the BEETROOT WITH MOZZARELLA, Orange zest on beetroot? Very yummy indeed!

The salads were SO GOOD, i literally couldnt stop eating all day! Very inventive and different explosions of taste. So fresh and healthy too! The homemade bread with sundried tomatoes really topped it all off...like nothing i'd tasted before, i dont even usually like bread! YUM
