Looking after ‘things’ on the inside

I admit I have been intensely drawn to anyone, or any ‘thing’ I considered fun or exciting since I was a little girl and have been relying on these ‘things’ to make me happy ever since. I can recall from around the age of 8, I just knew I loved to cook and would beg…

Asian Beef Fried Rice (without the rice!)

An accidental creation, I often cook mince in different ways depending on my mood or the ingredients I have on hand (mind you, always with a glass of wine IN hand). When putting this dish together I realised half way through I was using the exact method as Chinese fried rice!
