MEANG KHUM: AN UNUSUAL FRESH SPINACH STARTER {RECIPE}

        There used to be a Vietnamese and Thai restaurant called “Soi” in Melville (Jozi). On the menu was a specific starter that we just couldn’t get enough of. The restaurant closed down out of the blue & one of the things that I missed (& craved) was said starter. The recipe is […] Read more…

Blueberry Lemon Tea Cakes

It’s no secret that I love lemons & any recipe that contains lemon for that matter.

Easy Chorizo & Three Bean Salad

This is one of my very favourite quick mid-week meals to make. I call it a salad, but it’s very filling, so we have it as a main course on its own. It tastes fantastic the following day too, so save the leftovers for your lunch box. That is, if you’re not phased about eating […] Read more…
