Chicken Cauliflower Stir Fry
This recipe is ready in twenty minutes, for those evenings when the day has run away with you and dinner still needs to happen.

Pipengaille, Chicken Chinese Style
If there is one vegetable that tastes like a Mauritian garden, it is the pipengaille.

Paired with tender strips of chicken and a glossy, savoury sauce, this is everyday cooking at its best: simple, fast, and full of soul. Servings This recipe is for 4 servings Ingredients: 1 platter of bonele

Lentils, Meat & Lard Rougaille with Sauteed Akra!
A Mauritian classic that tastes like home. This is one of those meals that takes me straight back to my childhood. Both my mum and grandmother used to make this, and every time I cook it, I can almost hear the clatter of their kitchen and smell the rougaille simmering away. It is truly a comfort meal, especially on a cold Mauritian winter evening. Three dishes cooked side by side, each one simple on its own, but together they create something really special. Serve it in a bow
