Not everyday cooking like a cooking (wo)man someti

Not everyday cooking like a cooking (wo)man sometimes noodles & cheap eats 😌I was craving noodles with spring onions, chilli oil & LOTS of crispy onions. I wouldn’t eat this right before you kiss your bean as it is a lot of onions but honestly it tastes so good! Today for lunch I added an egg for some jenny say quan 🤌🏽but more time I don’t bother.Anyway I’m here to tell you guys that I don’t always eat spring onions 🙄 sometimes I eat crispy onions 😀. I love the textural element it adds to my food and of course I love the flavour.What do you like to put on your noodles? 🧐

May Photo Dump 😙✌🏽1. Chilli fish sauce wings from @smokinggoatbar I went out quite a few times after work during the month of May only to discover that mid week dining is long and moving forward I will only be do this towards the latter part of the week. It’s just energy I don’t have! Smoking Goat was decent, the wings were pleasurable but after a while got a bit sickly for me.2. Jerk chicken & potato wedges with green beans that I had to remix from my Hello Fresh box because those people are frighten to season meat. Shared my experience and discovered that Gousto is better (word on the road). Nonetheless hello fresh helped me save so much time in May that I so desperately needed.3. Whenever I’m in one of the warehouses at work I have a peak at the alcohol section for pretty bottles I want to add to my collection. Haig Club got a lot of praise when I shared it on my story. Excited to try it!4. Another after work dinner at @hachabar and tried out their famous, award winning mirror margarita. Even took a bottle home for safe keeping 😌5. After work dining again 😅Roasted scallop from @hawksmoorrestaurants Good old reliable, consistent hawksmoor. Loved it.6. Spent a Sunday afternoon at the @blackeatsldn market and picked up one of my fave products for the month - Scotch bonnet chilli jam from @andpoca I was eating it so much I ended up giving some away to my parents 😄7. Decided in May that I prefer ramen over pho. After listening to this episode of one of my fave podcasts a few months ago I too wanted to know what my preference was. It’s ramen. Pho is just too weak for me.8. A5 Japanese Sirloin Wagyu from @hotstonelondon Loved this experience (another after work dinner hehehe)9. Had a girls night at Aviary rooftop and terrace. These are my overall thoughts 🧐10. En route with my girls for a party ☺️

Turkey Burgers 🥰I’ve been enjoying turkey

Turkey Burgers 🥰I’ve been enjoying turkey burgers lately. I’m a fan of turkey meat cooked in particular ways (see my turkey wings post, a phase which last a few weeks 😅) this recipe actually started out as turkey meatballs but it works just as well as a burger so that’s my new obsession 😌 my bean doesn’t eat red meat so he really enjoys these burgers cause it’s not everyday chicken burger!I make my turkey burgers gluten free because that’s how I’m supposed to eat lol sometimes the burger bun isn’t gluten free though heheheTo make gluten free breadcrumbs I put some Schar Gluten Free Crispbreads into my food processor and voila! Perfect alternativeI only used turkey leg mince, never breast!700g of turkey leg mince 7% fat
1 beaten egg
Some breadcrumbs
Sea salt
Ground mixed peppercorns
Smoked garlic granules
1 shallot finely chopped (or onion powder)
3-4 garlic cloves finely choppedI like garlic and onion in my burgers for a little texture and extra flavour but feel free to skip them and just use dry seasoningsThe egg and breadcrumbs make my burgers really juicy and moist. It’s not by force but we all know Turkey meat can be a little parched sometimes but honestly these burgers are 🤝I’ve had these burgers with- smoked cheese and homemade burger sauce (kewpie Mayo, ketchup, yellow mustard and finely chopped cornichons), sautéed white onions
- smoked cheese, scotch bonnet chilli jam & sautéed red onionsBoth combos were 10/10 for me 😬#bbqfood #burger #burgersofinstagram #turkeyburger #turkeyburgers #glutenfreerecipes #summerrecipes

Tacos & tequila this week at @hachabar 🌮🍸I’m slowly getting back to eating out more (soon to be wearing less when the weather behaves 😌)“A celebration of Tequila & Mezcal, London’s only Agaveria and home of the Mirror Margarita - voted Time Out's 7th Best Cocktail in the World and Cocktail of the Year 2020 at the CLASS Bar Awards.”The Mirror Margarita, literally looks like an ordinary glass of water on ice but in fact is “a crystal clear twist on the classic...a stunning Margarita with the perfect balance of sweet and sour notes” Arette Blanco Tequila, homemade Hacha sour mix, cane syrup & mixed grapefruit oils. Dangerous! Really enjoyed the taste as it was so well balanced I often find margaritas to be too sharp and sour.We also tried the Salted Pomegranate and Ginger Margarita & Hacha Toreador. Yum!Let me be honest with you people, the only thing I enjoyed was the drinks. I found the food served to be extremely bland so I won’t waste anyone’s time (mainly my own) going over it. Either it’s not for my palette or I have coronavirus 🤷🏽‍♀️. I did enjoy the guacamole; although it was a little too chunky for me, the taste was nice. The service was lovely and it was a really nice vibe inside.I bought home a bottle of the Mirror Margarita for safe keeping on my bar cart 😌Such a long week for me, I’m finding it hard to balance work and social life. I think it’s not only the intensity of my current role but also because we haven’t really had a social life this past year so I find it overwhelming having to do both😩 anyway if there’s one thing that’s by force it’s enjoyment so I have to get it together lool

Hi 🙂 I’ve been sharing my @hellofreshuk experience on my stories lately and one thing that’s quite clear is that although I appreciate the convenience I don’t always appreciate the lack of flavour in some of the dishes 😅This week one of my meals was “Speedy BBQ chicken with potato wedges & green beans”. Swipe right to see what they were suggesting 🤣Anyway I made a few tweaks to make it work for me- seasoned my chicken with jerk seasoning
- Spiced my potato wedges
- Jazzed up my green beans and served them separately
- Added some garnish to my meal (spring onion on my chicken & crispy onions/paprika on my green beans)Potato wedge spice mix (no measurements just vibes)Smoked salt
Smoked garlic granules
Onion granules
Smoked paprika
Chipotle chilli flakes
Ground mixed peppercorns
Ground cumin
Dried parsley (or oregano if you have it to hand)
Olive oilMy jerk seasoning recipe video is on my YouTube channel and has over 100k views now 😌❤️I’m planning to do a detailed blog post or YouTube video on these kind of meal kits; pros & cons and how you can make them work for you if like me you are short on time and also like to meal prep 😬

Got ‘Lost in Brixton’ last weekend with my girls for a birthday link up.😳I think your girl has changed. Maybe because I’m 30 now I think I’m too nice 🤷🏽‍♀️I don’t know but Lost in Brixton just didn’t work for me the way I hoped. When you’re with your people it’s always a good time though 🥰Overall it’s calm; cute aesthetics, drinks were decent, nice vibes but the food was nothing special. Food tastes different in take away containers I honestly don’t know what it is but I never enjoy it as much so that didn’t help 😅 in my mind it would be served on small plates or something 🤷🏽‍♀️Personally I have had some really good food from Brixton Village Market but the food menu is limited to a few vendors. What I ordered I didn’t mind but it didn’t hit the spot for me.I would go back to chill and have drinks but probably not for the food.. or I would try a couple of the other vendors on the list if I’m in the mood. It’s more likely that I’ll go for pre drinks and then eat at a restaurant downstairs tbh 😅.- Chicken nuggets from Black Bear
- Chicken nachos from Jalisco
- Saltfish fritters from Fish, Wings & Tings
- Reggae wings from Fish, Wings & TingsAnyway that’s outing number 2 before May 🤣 I’m ready to dine indoors now!

I’m still working on my food photography. Sometimes I’m honestly too hungry for all this “food blogger” faff & sometimes it’s exciting.For now all I do is Auto - Increase sharpening/detail, preset; bright 😌😀It works for me, I’m a simple gal with little time. I’ve been using Adobe Lightroom and I like it.What do you guys use?Do you have a go to edit combo?#explore #explorepage #exploremore #italianrestaurant #italianrestaurantlondon #foodphotography #foodblogger #blackwomeninluxury

😅Caught myself in 4K yesterday. It definitely isn’t May yet but I was definitely doing up outdoor dining. Pah! 🙈Late lunch/early dinner at @over_uk in Borough - “A Real Italian menu with a strong Neapolitan soul”They use the “unique ingredient of Pure Sea Water, which is extracted from the purest areas of the Mediterranean.Less sodium and more minerals makes the food lighter and easy to digest. Pizzas, breads and all the seafood dishes are made with Pure Sea Water” & I’m not gonna lie my friend and I both commented on how light we felt after finishing all of our dishes.Some dishes were absolutely hitting and some were missing but overall I enjoyed my experience.❤️ the scallops, caprese salad, bruschette trio & black tortellone with crab & marscapone. The flavours were fresh & light yet still very prominent & everything was prepared/cooked perfectly. The quality of the ingredients was top notch; loved the cherry tomatoes & the crust on the scallop !👎🏽 I didn’t enjoy the calamari one crumb. It had a burnt, bitter taste as if the oil was burning. However I was told that it was cooked as it always is and that’s how it tastes so I guess it’s not for me🤷🏽‍♀️ the O’ver daiquiri tasted like a Long Island iced tea so Issa no from me dawg.💷 not my cheapest meal; cocktails avg £10+, starters avg £14+, mains avg £22+👩‍❤️‍👨 customer service was great, they were very friendly & accommodating, swapped my calamari no fuss.I would go again to try the pizzas as they looked sensational. Love the concept & the service 🙂

Your girl is loading 😌To be honest I haven’t booked anything for April all my bookings are in May so I’m spending the rest of the month preparing 😅
