Listen, pap might not be Instagram-worthy, but it does the job. It holds them off for a good few hours. That alone is worth its weight in mealie meal.And let’s be honest, with all the ways you can play with proteins and sides, it’s practically a...

There’s something special about being trusted to feed people, especially on the days that matter most. This particular celebration was hosted at Perfectionate Aesthetic Spa, a familiar space where I also hold my Table Talks, a place that’s as...

Fast. And just like that, Bull Brand came through for me again. I reached into the pantry and pulled out one of the favourite flavours from the Bull Brand Mince Meal range: the Curry Mince.Let me tell you, this little tin is packed with flavour and...

I haven’t eaten it since childhood, but I remember that’s how simple mom kept it and we enjoyed it.Now, with school holidays fast approaching and two rapidly growing boys at home (aged 13 and nine), I’ve been on a mission: to identify simple,...

Create a flavour packed bowl with rice and black beans, veggies, and fresh avocado. Serve up a big bowl of amazing colour, making sure not to forget some zesty lime flavours full of nutrients. We can very well throw this meal into the category of...

What I had made, yielded a medium batch and I then curated a Charcuterie board that looked too pretty to eat and will most certainly be part of my next spread when I host the girls or do the first table talk for 2025. With a date set for Women’s...

I overlooked her mentioning that it was a Birthday Cake. Honestly, I am better off not having had full awareness that it was a birthday cake. I might have chickened out of doing it. But this red velvet Inkomazi cake is fool proof. Baking is a science...
