It has been a while since my last post and I am sorry for neglecting my blogging duties. To make up for it I am posting a lovely comforting Jambalaya recipe as an antidote for the cupcake binge.
In my absence from the blog I have eaten some yummy food, cooked with some new equipment and had some exciting adventures, so hopefully I will have lots to share with you.
Recently I went to a restaurant and ordered a Jambalaya. It might seem an odd choice to order, but I love jambalaya. However, as much as I love it I somehow have a mental block against cooking it. For some reason it always seems to take a long time or seems a bit faffy, which is why I eat it when I don’t have to cook it.
But wait. This morning I undertook a quest to find an easy and quick Jambalaya recipe (as I am in the need for comfort food but don’t have much time when I get home) and succeeded in finding this one on the BBC Good Food website. I am not too sure how authentic it is, but it sounds yummy and above all, it doesn’t take hours.

P.S. I think this Nigella Flameware pot is ideal for jambalaya. The shape just exudes comfort and I love the idea of cooking in a ceramic casserole.
