Really felt like having brownies today & I remember for Nigella week on Masterchef Australia recently, in one of the elimination challenges, the contestants had to make Nigella's brownies & they looked absolutely divine . Did some googling & found the exact same recipe! The ones I made were delicious. Perfectly ooey gooey, chewy, moist & chocolatey. Heaven. Although, there are a few things I'd tweak in the recipe. Like the amount of salt. I also watched a video of Nigella on the Rachel Ray show where she made her brownies & she mentioned how she likes quite a bit of salt in what she makes. So if you're not really into that then you can always cut down on the amount. But this is by far the best brownie recipe I've ever followed. Won't be using anything else after this. Let's get started, shall we? Here are the things you will need: 1. 50g all purpose flour 2. 50g cocoa powder 3. 40g soft brown sugar 4. a pinch of salt*

Was supposed to make this some time last week but simply didn't have the time. Marinated the chicken last night & had this for lunch today instead. This is my recipe for a quick & tasty grilled chicken (I used the thigh coz I prefer it to the breast) on a bed of mashed potatoes with snow peas, carrots & a rosemary jus (for 1 person).  Here are the things you will need: 1. 1 chicken thigh 2. 1 big/2 small potatoes 3. As many pods of snow peas as you like 4. About 1/4 of a carrot, very thinly sliced 5. 1 stem rosemary 6. 1/2 tsp black pepper, crushed 7. 1/4 tsp cumin powder 8. 1 tsp Lea Perrin sauce 9. 1 1/2 tsp Oyster/Mushroom sauce to marinate, 1 tbsp for jus 10. 1 tsp honey to glaze chicken before grilling  11. salt to taste 12. 1 tbsp butter for the mash, 1 tsp for the snow peas, 1 tsp for mash 13. 1 tsp olive oil to marinate chicken thigh, 1 tsp to stir fry snow peas 14. 6 pips garlic 15. 1/2 cube beef/chicken stock 1
