As Jane-Anne Hobbs, writing the Scrumptious South Africa blog, rightly described food bloggers as “desperate for attention” at the Food & Wine Bloggers’ Club, I stepped up to the
I decided to go for Rogan Josh, a mild curry with fragrant with spices and mellowed by the yoghurt.
I am proud to proclaim this was a resounding success, and to quote the Curry King: "I couldn't do better myself"!

Looks absolutely delicious Rose, time to go and haul out the curry spices I think....might just wait for the temperature to go down a few degrees first! Have a fabulous weekend. xxx
wonderful - one of my favourites!
Rose, that comment 'desperate for attention' looked silly quoted out of context as it was, and I am rather embarrassed about the way it was highlighted. What I was actually trying to say in my talk is that most bloggers crave attention, and that they love comments and feedback. So here's one for you: this looks gorgeous. I think lamb knuckles are the way to go too: I have found lamb neck can be quite gristly. Well done
Wendy - Certainly a cold weather meal - although the Indians love their curry throughout the year!
Tandy - Thanks, comfort food at it's best.
Juno - I'm sorry for misquoting, when I read it I thought it was a classic, described me perfectly (blush blush)! Thanks for the wonderful words for me - I am honoured to have them from you.
Just call us bloggers media sluts, hahaha! ;-) Rogan josh is one of my favourite curries - not too hot, not too mild - and yours looks fantastic!
