GRILLED LAMB CHOPS…Tangy and tasty!!
‘The gentle art of gastronomy is a friendly one.

Phirini / Saffron Indian Rice Pudding … think spice, think SAFFRON!

This recipe has finally been typed and blogged thanks to Sunita’s World, who runs a really interesting spice event every month. I think it’s a pretty neat idea, and also a great learning experience. I missed the last few spices due to the ‘tension’ of trying to blog. I feel a little more confident now, and a bit more organised of course! Got a loooooooooooooong way to go, but am getting there. Strands of Saffron…with the flowers of the Indian ‘Haar-Singaar’ tree This months’…
