Necessity (and me!) is the Mother of invention ...

You know the story, 3 hungry kids eating you out of house and home - so when you go to cook tea, all you can find is -

• satay tofu


• tin of chick peas


• spinach


• dried spaghetti

I could have called it "all-we-had-left" pasta sauce, and it would have tasted awful.

So I called it my "Asian-Italian-Middle Eastern-fusion" pasta sauce - and it was good!

It's all about perception :-)
