foodie crushes…. food movies {The Hundred-foot journey}

Young & old, cooks & non-cooks salivate at the mere thought of an on-screen foodie fix like Masterchef…  Yup, foodie shows on the big & small screens are (still) the in thing! Let’s talk about yummy food moments on the BIG screen only for a moment. When I think about my favourite food & movie […] Read more…

Blueberry Lemon Tea Cakes

It’s no secret that I love lemons & any recipe that contains lemon for that matter. The combination of the lemon & blueberries in this Martha Stewart recipe is totally heavenly. You will need about 35 minutes to prep & a total of two hours to get everything done. The original recipe calls for a stick of butter […] Read more…

Cherry Clafouti {recipe}

Cherries are fantastic little fruit. For some reason, just seeing them, puts a smile on my face. Yum! Well, recently I found this recipe by none other than Julie Child from food.com & it is a winner. You’ll need quite a bit of prep time, but the baking part is quick-quick. Here goes: Julia Child’s Cherry […] Read more…

chicken potjie with mrs balls chutney

One of the highlights on the Kruger calendar is always the hoenderpotjie! My dear husband is no cook when we’re home, […] Read more…

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…

foodie crushes {lardiere fine foods, lecreuset cotton range, walter battiss derustica olive oil}

If you look at my ‘dream kitchen’ Pinterest board, you’ll notice that I’m deeply in love with the monochrome trend. So, this week I’ve picked three BLACK & WHITE foodie crushes to share with you: I’m so smitten with Lardiere Fine Foods (an online store that sells delicacies) that I’m starting to feel like as stalker. Yup (*blush*), […] Read more…

lemon meringue cake

This was an Easter Weekend treat that I made at the very spur of the moment. I was slightly skeptical about how it would go down (being a lemon meringue pie & a cake hybrid), but it was surprisingly yummy! * The original recipe is from the LeCreuset website & is for cupcakes.  Unfortunately the […] Read more…
