A delicious affair with mini tortillas piled high with prawns cooked in a flavoursome Mexican style tomato sauce and topped with a sweet n’ spicy mango salsa.

Kesar Shrikhand (topped with almonds, pistachios and dried rose petals)...this is how we ended yesterday's cooking class. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I had the most amazing bunch of participants at yesterday's class; interactive, friendly, curious to learn and understand more about Indian cooking, ingredients, culture etc.... Together, we learned how to cook (and also feasted) on Paneer tikkas with mint coriander chutney, a traditional chicken curry, zucchini pachadi, cabbage and carrot thoran, tempered rice, chappathis and finally this deliciously creamy kesar shrikhand. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

It's gonna be a busy week ahead, so did a lot of meal prep today so that I can whip up meals faster during the week. Also planned on the weekly menu in such a way that dinner can double up as next day's lunch for everyone. Saves me a lot of time when there's a ton of work and deadlines to address.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
And one such dish is this much loved comfort food, Rigatoni Chilli Bolognese. It's bold, rustic and just loaded with flavour...just what I would love to tuck into after a tiring day's work. Are you a bolognese fan?

Let Us Rejoice
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Each Aussie enjoys freedom
in our selfish land of "Me-dom",
in a universe of splendid wine and food,
Though we barely know our anthem,
we will never pay a ransom and
we cannot shake the smugness of our mood.

Wish all Fridays looked like this!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Friday is usually the most hectic day for me in a week. Wrapping up the week's shoots, cooking in bulk (I hate cooking on weekends unless I am entertaining) and finally tidying and cleaning up the kitchen for the following week. But today, I got to wind up early and relax, thanks to the professional cleaning team from @fantasticservices ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The staff took charge of my kitchen, giving it a much needed clean up especially the stovetop, rangehood, oven and splashback. Ah! the joy of a sparkling clean kitchen....only a homemaker will understand the euphoria.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
So while I sit here and relax with a cup of tea and my current read, why don't you take a break too? Head over to https://fantasticservicesgroup.com.au/ and book a domestic service today; use the code "thespiceadventuress" to avail $20 credit. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

An absolutely essential cookware in my kitchen would be a good quality wok. And this Victoria Cast Iron Wok from @kitchenwarehouse has quickly become my favourite.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It is pre-seasoned, a generous size (35.5cm) which makes it perfect for our family meals and the heavy duty construction makes it last a lifetime. Woks are not restricted to just Asian stir fries; I use it for making large batches of curries, slow roasted meat dishes and even for deep frying.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
But today, we are going the Asian route itself....an absolutely moreish Duck Hokkien Noodles with Ginger, Shitake Mushrooms and Sichuan Peppercorns. Who's coming for dinner?

@casa305_ringwood is a café by day and a restaurant by night, serving modern Australian fare in a beautifully done up space. One of our favourite dishes from the night was the Harissa Marinated prawns (with a pearl couscous salad, harissa and coriander yoghurt). The prawns were grilled to perfection, succulent with that nice smoky char served on a bed of flavourful couscous tossed with greens, herbs and fragrant spices. Highly recommended!

Planned on a prawn dish for dinner tonight, so I sneaked away a few to indulge myself in this delicious Asian style Prawn Omelette for lunch. Shhhhh! don't tell the boys....
