I’m no pastry chef. Far from it. But, I love to bake. And I love cake. (Who doesn’t?) One of my favourite things to bake is themed kiddie cakes. My cakes don’t ever look like works of art, but they are such fun to make & the sheer joy on those tiny faces are just […] Read more…
The annual CUPPA for CANSA campaign makes me very excited – it is the perfect reason (or excuse) to get your girls together & have tea while you’re doing something for a truly worthy cause. You don’t have to be grown-up or fancy or the most experience hostess out there. The important bit is to […] Read more…
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.

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…
