I am a sucker for a good brownie, all fudgy, and oh so delicious. However sometimes I feel it can be way too sweet, and this comes from a person with an insatiable sweet tooth. The addition of salted pretzels and snickers however managed to balance it out so beautifully. The sweet and salty flavour […]
Masala Steak Special
*Sponsored by FUTURELIFE® Recently all I’ve been creating are foods I enjoyed whilst growing up in Durban, I remember driving down to the beach and devouring one too many masala steak sarmies, and if you’ve ever tried one you’d know that they are so good and pretty hard to resist. The idea of taking long […]
Boston Cream Pie
One thing for sure, my family lost their minds when I made this, each recipe I create always starts off by me explaining exactly what I hope to achieve. They never get or understand me. Mainly because I’m a creative and they’re mostly technical minded and I can sometimes find it quite difficult to put […]
Pineapple Lassi
Hey everyone, it has really been a while. I’ve been stuck between work, home schooling and tik tok’ing. Not sure if that even is a thing but I did start up a Tik Tok account and I’ve been enjoying the process of creating quick and easy dishes that I could explain in under a minute. […]
Chocolate Mousse Swiss Roll
This has got to be one of the most requested recipes I’ve received since lock down. Homemade swiss rolls are easier than you think and my husband in particular who sadly does not have an insatiable sweet tooth like his better half has given me strict instructions not to share this with anyone else 😅. […]

Ingredients Carrot Halwa Base 300g finely grated carrots 1 tbsp butter or ghee 120ml milk 2–3 tbsp sugar (adjust to taste) ½ […]
Coffee and Condensed Milk Lamingtons

Guacamole
I don’t know about you but I love dunking crispy bacon into a bowl of homemade guacamole. Homemade is the best and this comes from buying store bought guacamole and never feeling quite satisfied. My version includes all the basics like avocado’s, chilli flakes, green chilli or jalepeno, baby tomatoes, dhania and chaat masala. Yes, […]
