I have found a new luv, it’s baking! Something about the measuring of ingredients feels quite cathartic. So when I got a cake pop tray from Nic for my birthday (thanks my friend) I was eager to try these suckers out (see what I did there?!). If you don’t know what a cake pop is […]
Yipppppeeee it was Mother’s Day (aka Wam’s day) this Sunday and I offered to make the pudding. This is something I’d made before, but i had over cooked it slightly last time and so was keen to give it another bash. It is a a Nigella recipe for chocolate pots, the rad kind that are […]
Ok yes so I have not written for ages, apologies, but sometimes life happens and you don’t have time to write. This is the case, lets just move on. Anyhoo, I have been meaning to tell you about one of my favourite spots for a sushi kick, 1890 House in Obs. Thinking about this now […]
One of my all time favourite comfort dishes has to be spaghetti bolognaise – affectionately named spag bol. I think it’s something that I learnt to make years and years ago and have been adding and changing and finding new ways to make the flavour better. I think I made the ultimate version of spag […]
Amels and JayJay came round for dinner just before they headed off to Thailand on their big adventure. I decided to make them one of my favourite things – fish! I think hake is totally under rated as a fish, it has a wonderful meaty texture and it takes on so many flavours. You can […]
As I mentioned before Sarah came to visit and we ate and ate and ate. We had the most amazing lunch at Bistro Sixteen82 at Steenberg (one of my fav places to go). We followed this meal up with a girls dinner at La Boheme. Two amazeballs meals in one day! Fat much?! But let […]
After our lunch at Empire Sarah and I made our way back to the burbs and then headed off into town to Nix’s place where Sarah was staying for a few days. After a good catch up and number of laughs, along with glasses of wine and gorgeous views, we realised our tummy’s were rumbling […]
This Christmas was a very different one and a very special one. We have family friends who I have know all m life. Growing up we used to spend every Sunday with them. It was always a special time and saying goodbye always seemed like a tragedy as if we’d never see them again. So […]
I love having Rik home from Bots, for many many reasons but one is because he makes ridiculously good food. I definitely pick up a pound or twelve when he’s here, but it is so worth it. This night he made the most scrumdiddlyumptious pork chop, mash and coleslaw. I don’t know about you, but […]
Kitty and Paul had just moved into their new spot – which is totally awesome and Mieka (the pooch) is loving life with the garden. What better way to celebrate moving into a new place (which is tiring and stressful) than a perfect day and a braai. And what was to be on the braai, […]
