Blueberry muffins
My adventure with muffins began about 8 years ago when I was expecting my daughter. I craved these luscious, sweet and fluffy buns which I could eat without guilt then (right?). And seriously, who doesn’t like the blueberry muffins? They are ridiculously easy to make. In fact, the less effort you make in mixing the batter, the better the muffins! They are great for quick snack on the go and kids absolutely love them.

This dish is full of asian flavours, sticky and sweet, salty and tangy. Simple chicken has just been given the extra dimension. Invite some friends for a bbq and make it. They will love it!

Tuna and mango salad
I have been obsessed with Japan recently. I really want to go there and immerse in the culture. There is something extraordinary about it.
