Trying Nepalese cuisine at The Gurkhas Restaurant

[Ad- gifted experience] I do not think I have ever had Nepalese cuisine before, so when Dann and I were invited to try some of the menu at The Gurkhas Restaurant, we both were pretty excited to try something so new to us! The Gurkhas was founded by Shrabaneswor Rai, who is Nepal born and is also the co founder of a few different restaurants in Islington. The head chef, himself, and his father-in-law were all inspired by the heritage of the Himalayas to create their menu.

Midweek Meal Inspo; Orange Chicken, Chili, Teriyaki Salmon & more

I am really enjoying this midweek meal post, as it’s been great to share the variety of food we eat in our home and showcase what we all really enjoy. It’s also been great for inspiration in our own house and to show what we all really enjoy together! It’s been another block of time, so I have put together all of the meals that we have had recently! We do tend to have a variety of different meats during the week, and this week includes a vegetarian meal that we often have!

Midweek Meal Inspo; Pesto Chicken, Shrimp Sandos, Fried Rice & more

Another batch of meals has been made, as every single day we do eat dinner! As it’s been nice, warm weather out here lately, so we have been having meals that are a bit lighter and take less cooking to do then others. Some of this weeks foods came as suggestions from Robin and Amelia, while others were classics that we felt like having. Amelia was the biggest kitchen helper this week and did a lot of cooking with me, which was super fun! Anyway, let’s get into some meal inspiration for the week!

Lunch and Cocktails at The Fizzy Tarte

When it comes to eating lunch, Dann and I are not big sandwich fans generally, if I am honest. Though, we were wanting something light and not too hot when the weather was wonderful, so we took at chance at The Fizzy Tarte – a gastro-pub looking place, which serves sandwiches, charcuterie boards and craft cocktails! The Fizzy Tarte does more than just lunch and brunch. They have master classes in cocktail making and afternoon tea if that’s your thing too.

Midweek Meal Inspo: Mac n Cheese, Greek Chicken, Fried Fish & more

This week, the sun is out shining and the weather is great! Some of our meals have been quick meals, so that we can enjoy as much of the sunshine as possible. Kai has also taken a huge interest in making food, so we have been discussing differences between ‘homemade’ and ‘made at home’ as well as how some dinners are more put together while others are more homemade. As he is getting older, it’s good for him to know the differences and what cooking is verses putting things together. We wanted to teach him a few different recipes this week to try them out.
