A twist on the classic chicken curry

A new week for me means trying my hand at cooking a different dish in the kitchen.

This week I decided to make a curry. I have been reading Red Online (the online magazine from Red) a lot and have found some great recipes on there that are beginner-chef-friendly. Usually this magazine will go unnoticed by myself (maybe it's because of my age?) but I feel that their online magazine can appeal to any woman of any age.

Now where was I? Oh yes, I was telling you about the delicious curry I cooked- chicken and spinach. The recipe on Red Online is actually called 'chicken and cauliflower curry' but I subsidised the cauliflower for the broccoli that I had left over in my fridge.

The recipe is quite easy to follow.You will need the following ingredients and a couple of pans to cook with:

• Diced chicken
• Garam masala
• Coconut milk
• Turmeric (I used cumin instead, I suppose any spice could work)
• Garlic
• Onion
• Green chillies
• Tin of chopped tomatoes
• Rice

I won't bore you by blogging the whole recipe, instead you can find it on their site here.

I will say though that you might like to add a few extra spices to the curry, depending on hot you like it. I have found that when cooking with tomatoes that they tend to dominate the flavour of the dish, so I suggest blending any other spices that you might have lingering in the backs of your cupboards to give the curry a bit of hit. Also remember to season well!

Here is what my curry turned out like.

I was quite chuffed with the results and it wasn't too hot for my liking. I will be following another of Red Online's recipes sometime soon so watch this space ;-)

Peanut Butter Cookies...Yummy!

I am totally obsessed with peanut butter I have it on almost everything which is kinda weird!!


Anyway I found this recipe on Instagram on how to bake peanut nutter cookies and thought I'd give it a try. It is so easy and quick to make and I am not the ideal baker as it is.

All you need is:

• 1 cup of peanut butter (preferably organic) 
• Tbs of honey
• 1 egg
• Chocolate chip cookies or coconut (chocolate chips are my fave though!)

Then just mix the mixture together, separate mixture into 6 round pieces on greased baking tray and then pop in the oven for approx 9 mins!

Whalaaa!

That's how simple it is and they are delicious topped with nutella spread on top!!

Enjoy :)

Dior @ PFW AW13

(Images from Elle.co.uk)

Sorry that we are a bit late blogging about PFW but we just had to mention Dior. Did you see the show? We knew it was going to be exciting after Susie Bubble and other bloggers and editors tweeted and posted pictures on Instagram of the location. And the collection didn't disappoint. 

In the mist of well tailored dresses and classic trouser suits were pops of pink and lilac. However we were surprised to see that dog tooth would be returning for yet another season- a print which we like to refer as marmite, you either love it or loathe it! Anyway, here are three of our favourites from the A/W'13 collection...What were yours?
