When our Hogmanay celebration was bring an “Asian influenced” dish affair - I knew I had to go spicery. The beef Rendang and a spring veg Penang went down a storm with the group!

Sounds like a brilliant theme for a party! We're really pleased to hear that these dishes went down a treat, and we hope you enjoyed your celebrations!

Enjoyed this curry which reminded me of a wet Keralan Beef Fry that I had whist in Kerala. Made a nice change to the usual curries we have.

This looks fantastic, Lynne - we're so pleased to hear that it brought back happy food memories from your travels!

Beef Rendang with braised veg, green bean poriyal and beetroot pachadi. So pleased with this meal. The cabbage, beans and beetroot all came from my allotment. The spicery made my home grown veg taste yummy and the perfect compliment to scrumpcious beef rendang. Thank you team spicery you made Friday Tastyday yet again.

Yum - this looks like a fantastic Friday meal! A great start to the weekend and it's wonderful to hear about the abundance of vegetables growing in the allotment!
