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…
I can hardly believe that we’re almost two weeks into 2015! I have a really good feeling about this year. So good, in fact, that I’ve decided to write it a little love note… Dear 2015 Thank you for arriving at exactly the right time. I was so over 2014 – phew! What a tough […] Read more…
One of my very favourite things to do during the festive season is to wrap gifts. If fact, my family members often make fun of me because I’m often very ‘strict’ about making the gifts look pretty & festive. Each gift – no matter how small – must at least have some sort of ribbon […] Read more…
I don’t know about you, but the closer I get to December & Christmas, the slower I seem to get things done. I realise that I might have taken on a bit too much. I’m not complaining about work coming my way through, but still. All I really want to do is wrap gifts, bake […] Read more…
Traditional bobotie is one of my top South African dishes! It is really, really tasty but often not the healthiest of recipes. For instance: my favourite traditional Bobotie recipe contains sugar, bread, jam, raisins, chutney & oil. It is served with yellow rice (made with golden syrup (!), turmeric and raisins). Mmm… probably not ideal […] Read more…
I am so excited about this post, I can hardly keep my composure! It is not December yet, which means you still have some time left to get your gift shopping in order, plan your menu & decor & get yourself organised. If, like me, you love the concept of an advent calendar, then you […] Read more…
End-of-year madness & the festive season is right around the corner, which means it’s time to pull out your favourite summer recipes! I love anything with vanilla & this punch is no exception. Recipe by Herman Lensing, food editor of Sarie magazine. This guy might be young, but he is über-talented. Love his work! I’ve included a […] Read more…
I love the Cuppa 4 Cansa* campaign. Maybe because it’s an excuse to have a party AND do something worthwhile at the same time? I’m so grateful that my inner-inner circle has not been affected by breast cancer, but I know many women who have & I really believe that this is a cause worth […] Read more…
How cute are Russian dollies? I can’t put my finger on why I love them so much. Maybe it’s the surprise element? Or just the fact that they’re such fun to unpack? Anyhow, they’re still as cute (or even cuter) today as they were when first carved back in 1890. Whether you like to call them […] Read more…
For a while now, I’ve been thinking of MINI TREATS FOR MINI PEEPS, so this was the first experiment! Technically this cannot be classified as a recipe. Maybe I should call it a ‘throw-together’. Nevertheless, it is a fun, yummy little treat for tiny (or big) tummies! Note: The end result wasn’t photographed as well […] Read more…
