It is probably because I have been browsing through
Freya's Cookbook. Again. Just blame it on her mouth watering collection of recipes. It makes me just want to go to the nearest supermarket, cook up a feast and surprise my always unsuspecting fiance. So I have decided to throw a little beer & wine party for some close friends on Friday night next week.
Here are just some of the fantastic & exotic recipes I will be trying to impress my friends with from Paul and Freya's cooking blog -
