This lemon garlic pasta is perfect for the warmer weather.

All you need is 500g dry pasta 
30 garlic cloves from garlic confit pr just use fresh or baked garlic in butter or olive oil.

  • #howtomake this fluffy creamy buttery scrambled eggs 
Follow @peanutswirls for more simple and easy recipes 

4 large eggs 
1/4 cup full fat milk 
100g salted butter 
Salt and butter to taste 

I served this yummy scrambled eggs on Sourdough bread and Smashed Avocado. 

Cook this on low heat the whole way through
As soon as the butter I half melted, add the eggs to the pan followed by milk, stand right where you are and whisk on low heat. 
Season generously. 
When there's a soft cottage cheese like texture (looks uncooked) set aside as it will continue cooking with the heat from the pan. 
Serve up and enjoy

  • Londons famous brick lane bagel shops salt beef made by yours truly at home and it was not any different to the ones that we usually get in the shop.

  • The Persian Tahchin i made for my @ourplace collaboration that I never got round to sharing. Tahchin is safron rice layered with safron chicken coated in yogurt, cooked in the best non stick pot you can get your hands on (ourplace) and then garnished with buttery sultanas, barberries, almond and pistachio flakes. Isn't it an epic dish? Oh the icing on the cake is that you cut it like cake 😉 #tahchin #ourplace #persiantahchin #tahdig #persianrecipes

  • Korean Strawberry Milk is an obsession right now. It's the yummiest treat for these hot summer days. It's like a smoothie, ice cream and milkshake all in one. 

Disclaimer- I don't make mine too sweet if you want it super sweet double the sugar measurement.

For 1 glass you need: 

50g Strawberries chopped into small cubes and mixed with 1 tsp of sugar 

Set that aside for a few minutes while making the below 

250g Strawberries to be blended with 1tsp of sugar and 1 cup milk of your choice. 

When milk is blended with becomes creamy and a little fluffy. 

Assemble and enjoy.
