Recipes

Food has always been my love language, but my cancer journey changed the way I see it. It’s no longer just about fuelling my body or flavour, it’s about nourishment, strength & healing.

Shifting to a pescatarian diet, reinventing family favourites recipes, and embracing whole, unprocessed foods have helped me feel more energized & connected to my body. Every meal is a form of self-care, a way to cherished family recipes and support my health while still savouring the joy of cooking.

So, as I share my recipes with you, I hope they inspire you to cook with intention, to embrace whole, nourishing foods that make you feel good inside and out. Food isn’t just about eating; it’s about healing, comfort, and connection.

Welcome to My Journey: Finding Strength Through Sharing

Hey there, and welcome to My World My Life , my little corner of the internet. After what felt like an endless process, I’ve finally moved all my old blog posts from their outdated home to this fresh new space. It wasn’t easy, balancing this with treatment, work, and family life, but with a little help from my family, I made sure every post made it over intact. No missing entries, no broken links (because let’s be honest, that totally would have happened). Now that everything is in place, I couldn’t be more excited for what’s ahead. This blog isn’t just about sharing my journey; it’s about creating a space where we can connect, support one another, and navigate life’s unexpected twists together. One of those twists came in the form of breast cancer. One moment, I was going about my usual routine, and the next, I was sitting in a doctor’s office, hearing words that didn’t feel real. In an instant, my world flipped upside down. My days became a whirlwind of appointments, treatments, and ...

Baked Kofta with Vegetables

After a long day of fasting from sunrise to sunset, there’s nothing more comforting than a homemade meal that brings everyone together.  Kofta bi Seniyah; which translates to “Kofta in the pan” is one of those dishes that fills the house with warmth and mouth-watering aromas. Juicy kofta patties, roasted golden potatoes, sweet tomatoes, onions, and peppers all simmer in a rich, flavourful tomato sauce. It’s hearty, nostalgic, and best enjoyed with rice or fresh pita bread! Ingredients For the Kofta: Plant-based mince beef (or mince beef)  ½ onion, grated ¼ cup breadcrumbs (I prefer to use Sainsbury's Cranberry, Orange & Chestnut Stuffing for added flavour) 2 cloves garlic, crushed 2 tbsp chopped fresh coriander For the Vegetables & Sauce: 3 potatoes, peeled & sliced into ¼-inch rounds 3 bell peppers, sliced 2 onions, sliced 3 tomatoes, sliced 3 tbsp tomato paste 2 cloves garlic, crushed 1 tbsp pomegranate molasses 2½ cups vegetable broth 1 tsp salt ½ tsp black pepp...

Stuffed Artichoke Hearts

Every time I travel back home, my mum welcomes me with the comforting aroma of one of my favourite childhood dishes; stuffed artichoke hearts with minced meat, carrots, and peas.  The smell wafting from the kitchen instantly brings me back to those cosy family dinners. No matter how long I've been away, that first bite always feels like home, a reminder of her love and the warmth of our family kitchen. Here’s how you can make it, step by step: Ingredients: One bag of frozen artichoke bottoms 1/3 cup pine nuts A bag of Plant-Based Mince Beef (or beef) 1 medium-large carrot, finely chopped into cubes 1 cup peas 1 onion, finely chopped 1 lemon 1 tsp Salt & pepper 1 tsp 7 mixed spice Instructions: Step 1 : Prepare the artichokes: Start by placing the artichoke bottoms into a large pot.  Cover them with water and bring it to a medium-high heat.  Let them cook for about 10 minutes, just to soften them up a bit.
