Coconut Yoghurt Panna Cotta

Coconut Yoghurt Panna Cotta

I’ve tried numerous different recipes to make my own coconut yoghurt and I call bullshit on all of them. None of them work, it’s a bloody hoax. So while it pains me to pay the same price for a tub of COYO here in Dubai as I would pay for a decent...

Christmas Pudding Balls

Im not a huge fan of some traditional Christmas desserts that people seem to keep flogging every year… Christmas cake, nope. Trifle, slop. Panettone, dry as a nun’s nancy.  But the old Chrissy pud seems to go down alright with the punters. So this...
