Smokey pulled pork buns

 

This recipe is from a recent campaign I worked on, and I simply had to share it with you – it’s that good. The oven does most of the work here, and although the cooking time is a few hours the actual hands on prep time is minimal. The cooking time is worth it, you’ll be rewarded with tender pork that just falls apart. These smokey pulled pork buns are the business!

Apple recipes

 

Ah, the humble apple. Most commonly seen in my house either sliced up and slathered in almond butter or half eaten and deserted on a chair or counter somewhere (and usually with a similarly uneaten apple friend nearby, argh!) Today I have rounded up some of my favourite apple recipes from the blog and I hope you will love them as much as we do in our home.

Roasted garlic and mustard pork chops with creamy mash

Can flavours determine love? This was the subject of an email that landed in my inbox recently and I was instantly intrigued!

These rich enchiladas are flavoured with Mexican inspired spices, topped with a double layer of sauce and baked to cheesy perfection in the oven. Get in my belly! As part of the #JoinTheBlendTrend series this recipe is also about blendability and that fabulous ingredient: mushrooms!

Sweet and sour pork with pineapple

 

A beach in Grand Baie Mauritius
Grand Baie, Mauritius

My husband and I were lucky enough to enjoy a trip to Mauritius for our honeymoon. The minute you land on this small island in the Indian Ocean you really feel as though you have reached tropical territory – stifling heat, humidity, sugar cane fields and leafy green vegetation as far as the eye can see.

Mauritian cuisine is as diverse as its people, with influences from France, China and India to name a few. We enjoyed incredible curries, seafood, beef chop suey and samoosas. Whatever it is that your tastebuds fancy you are likely to find it here!
