Normally biryani takes a long time to make but this cheat version takes just 40 minutes and still packs in a lot of flavour. Only trouble is I can’t stop eating it.

Love cooking food that I can share with friends. Never happier than when I’ve got people over for dinner enjoying great food (and great wine of course). I’m a big fan of seasonal ingredients and coming up with quick and fresh ideas for during the busy working week.
