Curry is one of the nation’s  favourite dishes thanks to the British Army, who brought ingredients back to Britain between 18th and 19th centuries from the Indian sub continent.  The Lord Mayor's Diamond Jubilee Big Curry Lunch, will be on Thursday 26th April 2012 at London's Guildhall. It's part of a day of events where people can host a one off curry themed event for charity. Great British Chefs' blogger Rosana McPhee decided to make Shaun Rankin's curried scallops with coconut & coriander dahl for the occasion.

Great British Chefs guest blogger Food Urchin aka Danny Kingston decided to treat his wife by getting his twins to make some Apple Muffins for Mother's Day. A practice run was in order, just to make sure there were no burnt offerings.  Let’s see how the 4 year olds (and Danny) got on.
