I won’t bang on about how I’ve neglected my blog (hangs head in shame), so I’ll get right into it. I made scones! And they turned out well, actually better than well, oh so yummy delish well. Best part about it was that it was so flipping easy. My dearest Wam always made scones that […]
When we visit Rik’s sister and brother-in-law (Aims and Zak) at their home in Pringle Bay a few things are guaranteed … great food, great wine and great company! We visited while Rik’s mom was in town and went on a little trip to see the penguins at Stony Point down the road in Bettys […]
Oh my hat bags, if you haven’t been to Ons Huisie in Bloubergstrand do yourself a favour and get down there. We went a while ago for a friends birthday and not only did we spend hours there enjoying each other’s company but I also had one of the BEST breakfasts I’ve eaten from a […]
I have mentioned before that Rik makes sensational food, when we were in Dubai he treated us to some serious yummy delish! Being in Dubai during the holy month of Ramadan was an interesting experience … we didn’t really eat out and since we were staying at a friends house it was easy to cook […]
I’ve recently started Hot Yoga, no this isn’t a new years resolution that will end in a week or two, but something I am loving to the max. It does however, deserve an entirely separate post, so hold tight and watch this space. One of the things I have noticed with this new regime of […]
I know I posted this yesterday, but a silly sausage thought it would be fun to add some super spammy links in the background (naughty and well … lame). But to cut a long story short, yesterdays bit of beautiful writing was lost and instead of boring you with more I’ll just leave you with […]
There is one thing I always have in my freezer, something that comes is rather handy and possibly something you don’t always keep in yours. Ready Made Puff Pastry, this is key and I’m going to tell you why. Besides pastry being simply delicious and moreish it is great to use to make both starters […]
Hoooooooooooliday! Yes please! Rik and I organised a tip to Dubai to visit old school friends of Rik’s who live and work there. I thought I’d get that out the way before you were asking why Dubai. We had 11 days of bliss (but more of that later). I just wanted to let ya’ll know […]
When Rik was down last we went out for lunch with his sister and old family friends to Jake’s in the Village (which is in Tokai and was a nice meeting point for us all). Just a bit of background to the restaurant, Jake’s on Summerly is just down the road from me in Kenilworth […]
I spent a fantastic afternoon with my dear friend Hammie of CatTuna. Hammie is from Taiwan and spends her time between Cape Town and Taiwan. She is a amazing cook who makes some seriously yummy delsih food and each time I’m with her she makes some wonderful combo’s. Once such was an amazing peri peri […]
