Guess what?
I’m back from Bali and I’ve been busy conjuring up new recipes and ideas.
Now that my recipe book development is in the bag, I’ve got more time to concentrate on delicious and exciting new recipes for my blog.
So here’s my first–veggie packed creamy fragrant coconut curry topped with baked coconut crusted tofu. Amazing flavour and textures and somewhat addictive.
Serve as it is or with rice or flatbread.
So good. Much love Niki xxx.
