homemade Sichuan peppercorn and chili oil

As a fan of Sichuan food, I decided to concoct my own Sichuan oil from Sichuan peppercorns and chili.

The oil turned out quite nice and goes well in braised dishes as well as steamed fish.

Sainsbury's On the Go Beetroot & Turmeric Wrap, Limited Edition

The Sainsbury's On the Go Beetroot & Turmeric Wrap has two wraps which makes it worth trying.

Tumeric Wrap: Turmeric and coconut milk dressing, beetroot and red pepper falafel, roasted seasoned white cabbage and onion with turmeric, spinach, carrot, red pepper and coriander in a turmeric wrap.

Beetroot Wrap: Turmeric and coconut milk dressing, roasted seasoned cabbage and onion, carrot and tumeric falafel, spinach, carrot, red pepper and coriander in a plain wheat tortilla with beetroot.

Overall, I found the flavours of both really strong especially the cumin so it tasted really similar to the Coop irresistible Halloumi & Roast Beetroot Flatbread.

It wasn't bad but the slaw was a bit sweet for my liking.

[Review] M&S Marks and Spencers Extremely Chocolatey Hot Cross Bun

I love modern hot cross buns because it is different to the traditonal spice and raisins.

This year, Marks and Spencers have got the triple chocolate hot cross bun which is visually dark in colour with an evilicious rich chocolate look to it.

I really recommend putting the hot cross bun in the microwave for 15 seconds.

The hot cross bun is deliciously hot and soft while the chocolate pieces in the bun have melted.

Overall, I really recommend this bun as it was delicious.

Breakfast in Bed heart frying pan

I'm always trying to make my food instaworthy so when I saw this Breakfast in Bed heart frying pan from Poundland, I had to get it.

I think it would be good for eggs, pancakes etc.

The only issue I could think of was the hob because of the diameter so it is better for electric hobs.

Anyway, I think it would be possible using the smaller ring stove.

Finally tried it and it worked for the egg but stuck for the pancakes.
