Never hurry a curry
What’s your favorite recipe? In our house we love Indian, Persian, and Asian (well, various, you get the idea) cooking. My spice ‘rack’ is a spice ‘cupboard’, and our favourites are those dishes that need to sit on the stove for a while and simmer and, as a result, are full of flavour. I love Continue reading

Mid week slump
Oh, how hard is it. The mid week slump. But glass half full right. The week hump is half climbed! I’ve got this. You’ve got this. Take a deep breath, enjoy a short walk – even 5 minutes – and remember why you do this. Be kind to yourself. Drink from a beautiful cup. Go Continue reading

Ask and you shall receive
What positive emotion do you feel most often? Joy. Joy resulting from being curious. I love to learn new things and explore the world around me.

Friday nights
What brings you peace? Friday nights – Knowing the weekend has arrived. The rubbish bins are empty. Cooking a meal that the whole family enjoys. An empty washing basket. Good feedback on something I’ve written – professionally or personally. A good hair day. Being outdoors. Being with friends and having the longest belly laugh ever. Continue reading
