How many of us stick to a few tried and tested recipes? Cooking for friends, I decided to try a few new recipes.
Two desserts to try
From Oh! you cook! and on my pinterest board I tried Fruit salad with a honey and lime dressing. This was very easy and quick to prepare. Only three fruits and looked and tasted good.
From Ken Homs' travels with a hot wok, a new take on fruit crumble . I used mango and raspberry for the fruit and less sugar than suggested. The magic ingredient is to add dessicated coconut to the crumble topping. Served hot with vanilla custard , this was delicious. One of my friends had 3 helpings!
From Malaysia Kitchen USA I tried
Mango Salad, Char kway teow noodles and coconut milk and seafood soup all of which were enjoyed by my friends. I especially loved the soup and will add that to my repertoire of favourite recipes along with the coconut crumble.

13. The measure of Kate Galloway by Serena Miller
After trying to read two crime novels which I couldn 't engage with enough to read more than 20 percent, this was an engaging and very enjoyable read. A historical adventure and love story with an unusual setting. Great story telling.

A book collection
Room by Emma Donoghue
This book from the winter warmers collection was compulsive reading. Narrated by five year old Jack, the harrowing storyline slowly unfolds in a stunningly original writing style which creates a psychologically very thought provoking story. It is very hard to write convincingly from the perspective of a five year old and even harder to portray the struggle to live in the world after living totally in Room. I thought this was a startling and brilliantly conceived book which was very moving as the mother, son relationship changed.
