I love fresh fruit & veg, but if you told me 15 years ago that I would (happily) drink raw vegetable juices, I would have chuckled. Why would you drink veg juice? I eat a balanced diet & love chewing my veg, so why drink it? The truth is that we (as a family) don’t […] Read more…
This is comfort food at its best – with almost the same moreish & comforting appeal as pap & wors. If you don’t live here in sunny South-Africa & you’ve never heard of Boerewors, feel free to use Chipolata sausages instead. Oh yes, before & spill the beans (pun intended; haha) & in case you […] Read more…
I love simple oriental dishes. Those that you can make with the ingredients that are already in your pantry. An added bonus is if you can pre-prepare some of the items. This recipe ticks all of those boxes. It’s really a yummy middle of the week meal. CHINESE BEEF WITH OYSTER SAUCE, serves 4 10 […] Read more…
As far as food trends go you’ll find a brand new, fresh trend (like the Cronut) every now & then. But quite often food trends are basically just old ideas that have been given a dust-off or a new name & presented as a brand new thing. Case in point: bone broth. Earlier this year […] Read more…
I received the Jamie’s Italy recipe book from my brother in 2006, but (& this is so embarrassing to admit) I haven’t made a single recipe from it! Being a Jamie Oliver AND a recipe fanatic, this is quite unusual for me. Sure, I have spent hours & hours paging & reading the recipes. Admiring […] Read more…
Whenever I see berries at my local green grocer, the punnets just fly into my basket & the ideas of recipes to make, make my head spin. The very best recipes are still the ones where the berry remains the star, right? And this easy dish is a perfect example. Eat it as a snack, […] Read more…
I only discovered chickpeas in my 20’s & boy am I glad I did. My mother is a fantastic cook, but tends to stick mostly to the traditional repertoire (rys, vleis & aartappels, anyone!?) which means we weren’t really exposed to items like couscous or chickpeas. Chickpeas are not only good for you, but they’re […] Read more…
Traditional bobotie is one of my top South African dishes! It is really, really tasty but often not the healthiest of recipes. For instance: my favourite traditional Bobotie recipe contains sugar, bread, jam, raisins, chutney & oil. It is served with yellow rice (made with golden syrup (!), turmeric and raisins). Mmm… probably not ideal […] Read more…
End-of-year madness & the festive season is right around the corner, which means it’s time to pull out your favourite summer recipes! I love anything with vanilla & this punch is no exception. Recipe by Herman Lensing, food editor of Sarie magazine. This guy might be young, but he is über-talented. Love his work! I’ve included a […] Read more…
I love the Cuppa 4 Cansa* campaign. Maybe because it’s an excuse to have a party AND do something worthwhile at the same time? I’m so grateful that my inner-inner circle has not been affected by breast cancer, but I know many women who have & I really believe that this is a cause worth […] Read more…
