Sometimes the most basic list of ingredients can become a gorgeous, festive dish by simply plating & presenting it in a different way. This recipe is proof. The hardest part of this recipe is to find root vegetables that are more or less the same size in diameter. The rest is super simple. Festive Root […] Read more…
Christmas is my favourite time of the year. In fact, some of our friends joke that it is XMas all year long at the North house! You see, we also host an annual small XMas in July (why not?) party for our oldest friends. I test XMas recipes in October & November. And then there’s […] Read more…
From October to February each year, we get to enjoy nectarines. How lucky are we? Eating your nectarines fresh is great & juicy – like James & The Giant Peach juicy. Side note: if you have not yet listened to James & the Giant Peach on Audible, do yourself a favour & do it soon. […] Read more…

Welcome to soup season! The coziest season of them all. There are two kinds of people in the world: those who love soup & those who, well, loathe it. I love a good soup & this one is no exception. It is my idea of a lekker, moreish winter dish! This unique soup is one […] Read more…
If 2020 was the year of no celebrations, 2021 can be coined the year of mini celebrations. I’m really hoping that 2022 – when I turn 40 – will be the year of big celebrations! One positive thing about the party drought of 2020 is that people now appreciate even the tiniest get-together or party […] Read more…
