Saiprojects: December 2015

Happy Holidays Foodies; the weather is so not friendly these days. All I really wanna do is curl up in my duvet, watch series, blog and eat.

But obviously as a working mum, It would be really difficult.

Although winter is the month of darkness & cold, it doesn't stop me from making a pit stop at Beefeater Luton.

I usually tend to go for their Club sandwiches as they are super amazing, but this time here's what I had below

Here's what I had to start with:-

Prawn Cocktail platter served with cold bread

For main I had Rib eye Steak served with Chunky Spicy Chips & side salad

The second plate is not mine, I promise its my hubby's :-) He had Beef burger & Chunky spicy chips

I opted out dessert as I was super full up with the starter and main.

My verdict:-

I'll definately keep going there; this is one restaurant that I can actually not get tired of visiting. Reason being, there are so many options on their menu. I feel like I have to try all on their menu.

Service:- A bit slow to get a table in busy periods, and you might just about get turned away if you didn't book a table. Now bear in mind that Beefeater is a Grill Steak restaurant, its usually full of workers or the elderly, but all in all I always enjoy my time there. Also their staffs are very polite.

Food:- I have nothing negative to say about the food, they never disappoint me every time I visit so I'll give them an 8 out of 10 for food.

Price:- Reasonably priced, expect to spend around £45 to £50 for two adults on a night, this includes their lovely cocktails & beers. So not too bad

Overall:- Its one of hubby's favourite places to eat and I can't really fault anything, so thumbs up to you Beefeater. And what I love the most about them is the fact that they have a points card that you can collect points whenever you visit for money off at your next visit. And that's not all, they also get you to fill out a 10 minute survey online and you win a bottle of wine once complete (happy days)

I visited the Luton branch.

This just got me thinking, Are there any celebrities who love to roll their sleeves up and get busy in the kitchen? Try new concoctions, or recreate old classics and family recipes? Is there a whole collective of secret celebrity chefs out there?

I checked online and the results I found were shocking, have a look below:-

Kris Jenner

It’s stuff I’ve been making literally since I was a teenager," Kris Jenner told Ryan Seacrest about her 2014 cookbook, In the Kitchen with Kris: A Kollection of Kardashian-Jenner Family Favorites. "I got married really young and had Kourtney really young, and started making a whole bunch of different dishes. I went to cooking school and then every family member as everybody got older started pointing out their favorites. So this is a compilation of everything I love to cook." I'm not surprised as she is always in the kitchen majority of times on their reality show.

Chrissy Teigen

The food-loving swimsuit model has long expressed her love for food and preparing handmade meals on Instagram. Teigen shared one hilarious photo of herself, gripping a knife while cutting meat at home.

**David Beckham**

Aside from being one of the best looking men

in the world, this man can actually whip a

meal or 2.

Victoria has always said that David is the

main chef of the Beckham family. Clearly too

afraid to soil her one-of-a-kind wardrobe,

hapless Posh is more than happy to let ol'

Golden balls himself wear the cook's hat

at their home.

**Jordan Dunn**

She may be a sexy, skinny model, but Jordan

Dunn knows how to fry up a proper meal as

well. The dark-haired babe has her own

Youtube cooking series, humorously called

Well Dunn with Jourdan Dunn.

**Harry Styles**

He sings, he smoulders, he makes pizza.

Harry Styles impresses fans with his pizza

making skills. How many 1D fans wouldn't

want him to knead some dough in front of

them? I don't mind a collab with him though

:-)

There's only 22 more sleeps till Christmas and I'm sure we're all looking forward to spending it with our families and loved ones.

If you're like me and like to plan ahead, you should already have been thinking of what's on your menu for dinner this Christmas.

I've put a few easy recipes down to give you an idea of what you can possibly serve at your dinner this year.

The good ol Xmas turkey; there's no Christmas party without a nice juicy, moist bird. I have a video tutorial on how to season the best turkey here on my YouTube page:- https://youtu.be/IISe7ZpbUsw
Swirl pieces of bread in a warm pot of oozy melted cheese & white wine.. Perfect for that cold winter day
Jollof Rice- If you're African, this will definitely be a "not miss" on your menu this Xmas- check out my recipe here-https://youtu.be/CDppVpjkTng
Fried Rice- Same as above, its a must serve. https://youtu.be/okr6MvpOVps
Assorted meat- No African party is complete without assorted meat. Here's a tutorial on it-https://youtu.be/iB-4SqomlWE
Macaroni cheese- My Xmas is not complete without a serving of mac n cheese by the side of my roast dinner
Ham is a perfect choice of main course if you're thinking of swapping the traditional turkey this year. Ham is great when glazed with a mix of spices.
A good Salad with some nice dressing can never go wrong on your Xmas night.
To accompany the main meal; Brussel sprouts, carrots, parsnips, broccoli and cauliflower roasted with oil, garlic & pecans gives a perfect combination of sweet and crunchy.
Tender oven roast potatoes
For desserts- After an elaborate meal, you may want a simple finish. Try topping cake with honeyed orange slices (yum)
Chocolate Gateau- Christmas is the only season I'm not on a diet lol so I get to indulge with one of these. Trust me no Christmas dinner is complete in my household without a chocolate gateau.

Now there's no Xmas party without beautiful décor and proper table setting.
Here's an example of an image I found online on table setting; if there's one area I need to Improve at, it'll be my table setting skills. I'm really trying but I like perfection so I guess I'll get there one day.
