"A wonderful African inspired yellow rice dish that my Mum always makes. I have adapted her recipe slightly - and this cooks very well in a rice cooker - a gadget I would NOT be without!

"Very easy with a subtle taste of port! Of course at the back of that cupboard near the stove you really need to keep a selection of liquors for cooking and baking!

Sweetish vegetables go wonderfully well with seafood, and the tiny chilli pepper bite is great. Great for an easy main meal, but do serve it with crusty bread and a crisp, dry white wine. I also made a large salad as a starter...."
