Quick and easy “A straight forward chicken roast dish, perfect for a summer’s sunday roast.” I love chicken and I like to mix things. This is such a simple dish to make, when I used to be in university, this was one of the quickest dish I would whip up for my brother and I. The combination of the zests, rosemary and honey gives it a delicious sweet and citrusy taste.

Quick and easy “An all time christmas classic, almond crescents are a very basic tea cookie recipe. They’re very buttery with a pronounced almond flavour.” Every christmas in Perth, one of my auntie’s would always bake a batch of cookies and give it to all the family. Now that I live in London, I continue the tradition by baking a batch of my own and eating it with a cup of tea.

Quick and easy “Goose is a favourite dish during the festivities, especially during christmas.” Usually mom would make a glazed honey orange ham for christmas day but this year we decided to try something different and experiment with Jamie Oliver‘s christmas special.
