Turmeric Grilled Catfish Lettuce Wraps.

It has been hectic few months in our household. We packed, moved, cleaned, did a total gut out of our kitchen, spent months designing and sourcing handmade Italian tiles, carerra marble, apron sink, knobs and pulls. The blog took a backseat for all these months. It was not easy to live without a kitchen for 7 weeks!! By the way we are still unpacking.

The kitchen is all done now and it is a refuge for me. It is beautiful and I am glad that we took all that time and effort to put it together.


This wrap delivers a wonderful punch of flavours all at once. A great way to use all the wonderful herbs that you have growing all over your garden. Grill, assemble and enjoy!
