As a child, l typically didn't like brussels sprouts at all! But now I love them, especially when they're roasted. Add this wonderful bacon and cheese sauce to the roasted brussels sprouts and they are completely irresistible. #nikicuisine

A home cook with a passion for cooking and creating in my kitchen. I enjoy making soups, curries, stir-fries, pasta dishes, English roast dinners and the challenge of creating new meals using whatever is in the fridge and pantry. Asian, Indian, Mediterranean and Middle Eastern cuisines are among my favorites. Anything spicy. I prefer savory over sweet and rarely eat desserts.
