I discovered this delicious vegan Chickpea & Butternut Curry in my quest to add more veggies to our diet. There isn’t too much else to say about it, other than it is so satisfying – even for meat lovers. It also gets better with time so eating it two days in a row makes perfect […] Read more…
As an Afrikaans girl, I grew up with animal protein three times a day. We always had loads of fresh free-range red meat (from our small farm) & my mom was a very big believer in eggs. Her philosophy was all about starting the day with protein. And then we probably had some more protein […] Read more…
A while ago I wanted to make marbled sugar cookies with embossed letters. Luckily my friend Karen from Lovilee had a set of letter stencils. And so we got together for a morning of seriously exciting marbled-biscuit-making! I find that baking & decorating is double the fun when doing it with a friend. If […] Read more…

If you have not been to Spier Wine Estate recently, then I suggest you change that. My friend Christelle & I paid an end-of-winter visit to Spier recently & we had such fun! The weather was just perfect – it could well have been spring already. We kick-started the morning with coffee at Vadas Smokehouse […] Read more…
From a very young age, I’ve simply loved entertaining. I remember dinners cooked for my high school friends. A makeshift dinner table (aka the plank from my bed) when my friend Gina & I hosted in our first ‘real’ dinner party out of varsity. As newlyweds,Β we once had about 30 people for soup & […] Read more…
These rusks, friends, are so good that you will literally want to eat every crumb (off the floor)! Let me explain. Two key ingredients for a real South African bush holiday are braaivleis & rusks. So I first made this recipe ahead of our trip to the Kruger National Park last year. Our car was […] Read more…
