The Cookaway Box - Railway Lamb Curry

 


Sumayya Usmani is an accomplished chef and author who has the most interesting podcast ‘A Savoured Life.’ We have previously interviewed her for our blog.  Sumayya kindly gifted us one of her Cookaway boxes for our family to enjoy. We chose the Railway curry. This was our first time trying a Cookaway box and we highly recommend Sumayya’s  Railway Lamb Curry.


The Cookaway box is well packaged and when we opened it up, we found paper bags that were numbered. We appreciated how it was laid out neatly to match the photographic  recipe cards that explained clearly what to add at what stage. We found it easy see what to add and when. Everything you need is in the box including chilled Lamb, Ghee (butter), Cinnamon Quills, Chilli, Green Cardamoms, Cumin Seeds, Coconut Milk, Sunflower Oil, Rice and more.

 We loved how the youngest in the family got involved with this and found it much fun to help us create the Railway Lamb Curry. What struck us was the beautiful smells as we started to cook. It is by far the most joyfully aromatic meal for our senses that we have ever made! The scents of the spices and the colours are so rich. My husband had great fun helping us make it too. Julia sadly had to sit this one out as she was studying for university that night. 






      It was wonderful that it brought the family together to create the meal and it was bringing us much joy reading the instructions as we went along. How it was supposed to look. It’s great we get the recipe cards to keep so we can make it again. The joy when it was ready to serve, Julia loved the taste and said she would eat this every week! We love the lemon taste which surprised as we didn’t add lemon. We found out it was the green cardamoms!


 The flavours were unlike anything we have eaten before and unlike any takeaway we have ordered. It wasn’t heavy - it was light and didn’t make us bloated afterwards. A joy to experience. We will be making this again as it was a stunning taste experience.
  We highly recommend using The Cookaway. It’s a non-subscription box. You choose the dish you would like to try and if you add meat or vegetables. Feeds two or four people. You are offered what day suits you for delivery too.
Far tastier than a take away and also it’s great to keep the recipe cards so you can make it again. A wonderful cookery experience and delicious to consume.

A Haunting Memoir: Part one

 My story starts when I was a young child. I was born in Scotland but moved down to Somerset as a child. I loved it so much. I loved the flowers and the conkers I’d collect on the way to school. I remember all the frogs in my garden and how I'd name them. I moved twice down in England. The houses were always large and I’d get the rooms mixed up, trying to remember where to turn to find my bedroom. I would visit London where my relatives stayed. I loved the vibe of London. One visit to my Nans, we walked down to Church Street market and seeing so many interesting people. The one man with dreadlocks holding a large ghetto blaster on his shoulder playing Bob Marley passed me. I couldn’t get enough of the place. One stall had toys on it. I bought some wooden blocks and a handheld electronic mini piano. They were perfect mementos to remember my visit. When we returned to Scotland I unpacked and placed my electronic piano on my bedside table. It had colours on the notes and London Bridge

L’Oréal are an established company that have delivered quality beauty products for over a century . L’Oréal is a brand I can trust. I worked with L’Oréal by trying the Revitalift range of products over six months. This range offers more than the skincare I was using. I invite you to read more about Revitalift and my journey with this range. ~ Collette.      Revitalift is a range of products I had seen advertised and heard amazing feedback from others. I was thrilled when L’Oréal invited me to try these products over the lockdown months. I am in my 40’s and I struggled to find skincare that is effective. Lockdown has taken it’s toll on my skin. I have new wrinkles from tears and frustration like a lot of people. Firstly I tried their Revitalift Laser Renewal moisturiser. This was lovely and light on the skin. This moisturiser is the first moisturiser I used. It has a subtle colour to it that leaves a gorgeous glow on the skin. Revitalift Laser Renew is light on the skin. It gives skin a

Beauty Ties creator: Collette

  Hello BeauTies, I have always loved art from an early age. Taking photographs and drawing or painting. I have designed two wedding dresses for friends who got them made up. I've adored beauty products since I had my Victoria Plum nail polish and lip balm from Avon as a child. I love beauty products and how they make me feel. The colours and scents. I get so much joy from trying new products and photographing them. I skipped the afternoon one day at school and ended up in a movie. That was unexpected and it fuelled my passion for creativity and how things are made. It was an experience I will never forget. My name was taken by someone in the crew to go in the credits but when I saw the movie I was not on the credits, sadly. I will never forget the joy I got from being in it. Long days from early mornings and late finishes. The photo from the press shoot hangs in my hallway. Julia urged me to hang it up rather than feel ashamed of it. So it’s hanging up in my home for the first tim
