"This is a combination of two different recipes I found in my collection of cookbooks - I thought the cinnamon flavours through the chicken would work well with the fig salad - it turned out gorgeous! Not too much preparation - only 20 mins for marinating."

They say if you love food, you can cook - also helps to be able to follow a recipe. I LUV COOKING!!! And even better hubby luvs to eat what I cook - thoroughly enjoy watching him enjoy! We eat very healthy, lots of salmon, stir-fries, pastas (not too many creamy sauces) & salads. Also love thai & mediterranean styles of cooking. Our favourite restraurant is a small local one called Katmandu (Nepalese) & it's owner Kiron is lovely. The food is fabulous - for those who haven't tried Nepalese, it's not as (hot) spicy as Indian, but uses lots of garlic & spices (& my fav.herb coriander!)
