In Spain it’s called tapas & in Greece it’s meze while Italians like to call it antipasti. In France a little pre-dinner bite may be called Amuse-bouche (mouth amuser), but right here in Mzansi I like to call it a proetjie platter. Depending on who you ask, a proetjie is the Afrikaans word for a […] Read more…
When the Lerotse arrived on my doorstep, I was quite intrigued. Turns out, this wonderful versatile ingredient looks like a watermelon & has a similar smell but it is not sweet at all. In fact, it has a neutral taste. If you search for lerotste content online you are likely to find it in preserves, […] Read more…
This is the kind of recipe that you can really play with. If you are one for measuring ingredients with your eye & fresh eats, then you’ve come to the right place. If you like one ingredient more, then add some more. The recipe, as it is here, is vegan friendly but you can certainly […] Read more…

Risotto was not in my vocabulary until about 8 years ago. Yup. That’s right. I had my first bowl of Risotto when I was already three decades old. I feel like I have to say Ag shame to myself at this point. The thing is that growing up in an Afrikaans family in the 80’s, exotic […] 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…
