Back in the day when my friends were tucking into roast beef and Yorkshire puddings for Sunday lunch, in my house, we’d be eating rice and peas (black beans), and chicken prepared in various ways. I would cook the family recipe, but over the years I’ve transformed it into this quick as a flash version, but never fear it still remains the most delicious curry ever.

I have called it ‘Hurry Home’ because generally, as with most curries, it’s best made the day before so the flavours can bloom; then when you get home you can just reheat it and relax into a big plateful…

Everyone knows how much I love chicken and I always say I’d even eat it covered in chocolate… so here it is people.

A fantastic dish, with a smoky chocolate sauce, that I serve with corn chips, freshly diced tomatoes to sooth the chilli chipotle kick, and creamy fresh avocados. But you could easily do a side of rice and tortillas – enjoy – Mwah!

Too cold to pop out and pick up a takeaway? Try my easy and delicious chicken and cashew nuts.  From pantry to table in under 20 minutes and finger licking good!

Using wonton wrappers or dumpling skins is a fabulous Hax to pull out when you want to impress with an elegant lunch or MasterChef starter or if you’re in a hurry, but don’t want to sacrifice a beautiful plate of deliciousness.

If you haven’t been to Jamaica then this dish will deliver, sun, sea and a little spice all on one plate.  Chicken thighs marinated with the traditional Jerk marinade, will make you want to get up and limbo when all of these aromatic flavours hit your palate, allspice, nutmeg, cinnamon, garlic, ginger.  The pineapple salsa has the beautiful cooling effect, all in a light wrap.  Great for the BBQ, bach, picnic or just because.
