Hello,

This month has brought me back to the UK after exploring interesting culinary ideas in Northern India. Plus its been a blistering 48 degrees there and there’s a mass exodus from the area to avoid the searing temperatures. But life seems to go on and on.

Although India is a cricketing nation, football fever appeared to have struck many of the eateries and restaurants around the capital. Lots of screens erected in various corners to attract customers who wouldn’t otherwise give a second look at the menus let alone walk anywhere near the place.

I’ve also noticed that city dwellers are keen on cooking with European ingredients and I’m coming up with a selection of Indian dishes using Spanish olives!

Back in the UK, everyone is big on Indian spices and I’m planning to teach how to use them at the Basic Indian cooking skills course at the Novelli Academy in Hertfordshire. For further details, do check it out here

The summer months are a good time to experiment with vegetables which are in peak season including runner beans, broad beans and French beans. Check out how to spice them here

If you fancy a bit of fish, try using some fresh mackerel to create a south Indian style fish dish using mustard seeds which is one of my favourite spices at the moment. The recipe is here. Hope you get a chance to have a go and tell me how it went and tasted.
