What is Carbonara? I’m not sure where I had it for the first time many years ago, but I believed it to be one of the most amazing pasta dishes I had ever put to palate. The next time I had it was at Mo’s Kitchen during a restaurant review and...
She’s indeed what one would call a day one, we have and continue to try our utmost best to be intentional about showing up and pouring into each others cups. We were together the night I first had Chocolate mousse, BTO had extended an invitation...
Another technicality worth noting is that the buttermilk and vinegar bring out the red undertones in the cocoa powder, giving the cake even more of a a red tint. It all feels like a fun science experiment. Now that I’ve said that, i am recalling...
Often, after what feels like a lucky successful bake to me, my husband always indirectly affirms me, by pointing out how I really don’t give myself enough credit for my baking skills, whilst him and our boys enjoy the fruits of my labour. Nnyaa...
It had me wondering what happened to our tree, it doesn’t have any lemons. I can’t be sure when that happened because it must have been a month and a bit ago when I harvested some.Let’s not talk about the ones the boys played baseball with in...
I know there’s zucchini ones and I trust they taste amazing because there’s just something about chocolate that makes everything taste better. Chocolate makes the world a better place, sweet tooth or not.I’m yet to meet a person who has never...
Do you give up yet? Ok fine, I will put you out of your misery and tell you because you would certainly have never guessed that these three ingredients after one hour in the oven would result in something so tasty.The other two ingredients are eggs...
These Fritters are so ideal for a quick tasty easy way to get some extra vegetables in you or your kid’sdiet.I’ll be honest,I could definitely be more intentional about being consistent with our vegetable intake.As the year closes in and comes to...
Getting back into the swing of things.....well, honestly it wasn’t as smooth sailing as I would have hoped or imagined. The execution of classes are intimate with a minimum intake of six individuals while the maximum number of participants is...
I completely forgot that I am supposed to be taking myself and all of you avid valued readers though a journey of discovery with Danone Inkomazi (sour milk). I promise to go back to that. I blame the fact that school is opening this week, third term!...

Flying in and out of Cape Town for university, I would always make sure I make a stop at the kiosk near the boarding gates to purchase some game biltong. Almost everyone I meet is a little taken aback and confused by my choice to not eat meat (beef,...
However, I don’t believe they are as popular as their counter parts, Cake Slices, Cream Doughnuts, your Madeira Cakes, etc. This is well justified by the fact that Milk tart is a very traditional South African dessert. Milk Tart/Melktert – Easy,...

Yes fine, I love the long nights and short days, cuddling up in a mooi mooi is a guilty pleasure. Soups and hearty dinawa dishes taste a lot more suitable and enjoyable. Scones or rusks with a piping hot cup of Laarger tea are perfect at any time of...
Very specific classic Indian spices are used and it makes it seem as though there is a standard or generic filling. That’s not where my uneasiness lies. It’s in the symmetry of the final product that I always get a bit panicked.The perfect...
There is porridge, then there is soft pap, then medium (nna ke wela ha) then there's the hard type that almost seems to break up when attended to. I might have mentioned it before in passing.I think in the house we all like soft pap while Shalom...
