You know the feeling when you read a recipe and realise you only have a fraction of the seasonings they expect you to use in your cupboard? Or when they call for ingredients you have never even heard of or would have to find a specialist shop to get them? Seeing a list of ingredients as long as my arm puts me off trying the recipe. That is why all the recipes I have chosen with you include seasonings that most of us will have in our cupboards and a limited number of ingredients. 

And tomorrow's gonna be a brighter day

Choosing London for my second virtual postcard might seem strange since I live here. However, it is also an obvious choice for me as I miss my city. 

I love New York and it has been way too long since my last visit. I am having serious withdrawal symptoms. As soon as the governments end the lockdowns and lift the travel bans, I am heading to the Big Apple with my partner, Justin. We have both been there before but not together and I want to create beautiful memories with him in this beautiful city.

Who doesn’t love a good sing-a-long? My Quarantine Karaoke playlist is a mix of songs that most people will recognise and some less familiar ones but no less brilliant for a home karaoke.
