At the end of a good nights splosh-up with the boys down at the local, we always seem to end up with a debate on the subject of what and where were going to eat. You guessed it, its always a toss-up between a spicy hot curry; a greasy Chinese or a burning hot Mexican dish.

Here are a few useful tips:
Always keep the kids out of the kitchen whilst cooking I know its an obvious one, but its so easy to have an accident when they are running around!
When cooking with chillies, it can be very useful to coat/ rub in your hands, a teaspoon full of ordinary cooking oil so as to form a barrier. When youve finished handling the chillies, simply wash off with soapy water.
Believe me when I tell you, that in the pats it hasnt just been my eyes that Ive accidentally touched, I once made the mistake of going to the loo that was an experience to remember, I can tell you!
Grandmas Golden Rule: Always wash your hands before cooking or touching food. She would say, soap and water dont cost much and it aint painful either!
There are a great many exciting exotic dishes that can be prepared and cooked quite easily and quickly but most importantly, can be given a new lease of life by just adding a few chillies and spices.
Bon appetite!
