  1. 5 stars and beyond! So easy to put together and don't be put off by the ingredients, most of the stuff you have right on hand. Very aromatic when cooking, in fact, I could smell it from the barn! How delightful, and delicate after all the cooking was said and done. I included all ingredients, loved the use of lemongrass, cinnamon stick, fresh ginger, curry powder, fenugreek seeds, vinegar, turmeric, coconut milk, and a bit of chili powder, all these flavors are amazing, and you will want to devour as soon as you put the whole thing together. :) Made for ZWT 6 Zee Zesties!

Really enjoy cooking and trying new recipes, especially north American, French, Greek and Mexican. Have many cookbooks which I often pick from but love Nigel Slaters recipes and attitude, Charmaine Solomon for her Asian recipes and I am also a subscriber to Good Food Mag. I try to source good quality ingredients particularly meat and organic veg as I believe that <br />good ingredients can make a meal truely special. Have been lucky enough to find a wonderful farmer/butcher in Wales who only sells his own produce which is fantastic and I always stock up on a whole lamb for the freezer when I go there! <br /><img src=http://i250.photobucket.com/albums/gg271/MrsTeny/Permanent%20Collection/PACSpring09Iwasadopted.jpg alt= /></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><a href=http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_HycMLGzpJjc/S-3vqYbQ-3I/AAAAAAAAAAo/UwzmbgtkT30/s1600/MischiefMakers.jpg[/img></a></p>
