So I have taken the “poke bowl” and twisted it so that it suits my palate – and now I want to turn all my meals into my version of a “poke bowl”. I have to admit it is a wonderful idea and if you living on your own – voila!! Take your poke bowl dinner and have your dinner in front of the TV – enjoying your favourite programme and enjoying your meal – all the flavours and textures in every spoonful – Bliss!!
My famous quote “Necessity is the mother of all inventions”, and for me “Necessity” has been the backbone behind most of my creations. Poke Bowls – sound divine – however it just does not cut it for me – I need to ensure I have the taste of all that’s on my plate in each spoonful or finger full.
