Chilli con Carne means chilli peppers with meat, and this dish is 100% a made in America dish, albeit with strong Mexican influences. Today I share with you my version of chilli, which is mild on heat but with a full bodied all round flavour. I use ground beef as opposed to chunks of beef. A fairly simple meal to put together and it can definitely feed a crowd … so cook up a batch and dig in to some wholesome good eats on a baked potato.

All American Smokey Bacon Corn Chowder
Item #2 on my list of famous American dishes … a Smokey Bacon Corn Chowder. Rather simple coz everything gets tossed into the pot and then blitzed to creamy perfection. Wonderful smokey bacon flavour coupled with sweet corn kernels … man, the pairing is incredible. Definitely a keeper.

The Accidental Roti
This is a story of how I accidentally made ‘roti’, those delicious Indian flat-breads you get when you order your takeaway. It happened at 10 p.m and we could not be happier with the results. None went in the bin, as culinary mistakes so often do.

Hyderabadi Mutton Curry
This curry was made solely to accompany some flat breads I had inadvertently made the night before. Made a fresh batch of roti today, and the boyfriend insisted no other curry would so apart from a lamb/ mutton curry. So here it is, a recipe which I have learned from a friend, and I am sharing it with you now … Hyderabadi Mutton Curry.

Tagliatelle with Tuna, Crab, Spring Peas and Asparagus
I rarely get creative with pasta. I know the ones I like and I tend to make those over and over again. Hey, if it ain’t broke, right? Anyway I had to find a way to use up some expensive asparagus and this is what I did with them. Simple flavours all put together in thirty minutes flat because everything else is already cooked.
