Prawn curry and the winner is…

Delicious prawn curry
Sonia was kind enough to ask me to do a guespost on her blog while she is away and enjoying some sunshine in Cuba, so I still had this delicious recipe that I wanted to share with everyone, so thought it would be the perfect fit for Sonia’s blog. I have written about Sonia before as she is a great person and I admire her for so many things, but I would just strongly encourage you to pop over to her blog for a peek. You can find the recipe over here and it will eventually be featured here as well.. 😉
On another note; I still had to pick a winner for the give away for a copy of my book. I did so for the Dutch version of my blog already but needed to pick a winner here too! And the winner has been picked by plugin ‘And the winner is…’
