I had the best time attending the Coffee and Chocolate expo at the Dome in Randburg. The minute you walk in the gorgeous java aroma hits you and you’re sent into an eternal happy place. My husband and I attended and we brought the kids along so our first visit was the stand selling the […]
Chicken Tikka Kebabs
I’ve been posting a lot of my favourite chicken recipes recently, butter chicken, tikka masala, korma curry, roast and soup and with that I’ll be adding one more to the list. Chicken Tikka kebabs, they’re so easy to make and they taste incredible! I like marinating mine the night before but you could also make […]
Lamingtons
Watch How To Make It I’ve been making lamingtons for years, and it wasn’t until my Kenwood appreciation post last week that I realised just how much everyone loved them! Lamingtons might be an Australian treat but I remember consuming them in extremely large quantities all my life, the light buttery sponge soaked in chocolate […]
Surprise Rainbow Bundt Cake
I made this surprise rainbow bundt for my Grandma last week, she actually requested a simple vanilla sponge cake but with having a grandchild that’s as extra as me she wasn’t surprised by what she got 😂. Grandma thought it was beautiful and so delicious and moist. She has not been herself lately, with the […]
Chicken Korma
This beautiful korma curry is the perfect meal to serve at the dinner table this winter. Creamy, aromatic and perfect served with basmati rice or naan bread. Slightly milder than a Durban chicken curry but boy oh boy what it lacks in spiciness it makes up in flavour. The chicken is cooked in double cream […]
Chocolate Hazelnut Mozart Cake
I remember the first time I had a slice of Mozart cake, I loved everything about it! The delicious praline cream, crispy hazelnut meringue and the tart berries which beautifully offsets the richness. I instantly thought, “well this must be hard to create!” Like hours and hours of preparation, right? Nope! This was literally the […]
Peppermint Crisp Tart Charlotte
Ok can we all just agree that this cake is just so gorgeous? Not just a pretty face, it is also obscenely delicious!I’m always professing my undying love for peppermint crisp tart and I’ve re-invented the dessert twice already with my Peppermint Crisp Tart Baked Alaska and Peppermint Crisp Tart Brownies. This version however is […]
Cheese and Sweetcorn Samoosa pie
Winter is all about comfort food in my home, hearty stews, dumplings, curries and roasts. I’m salivating at the thought! Snacking is also a pretty big deal and one of my kids favourite snacks are samoosas or as my 3 year old says moosas 😂. I love making samoosas but actually making the pur (samoosa […]
Burger Buns
These burger buns saved my buns this past weekend (see what I did there?), all I wanted was to spend the entire day in my pjs and not run to the store to get buns for supper. I love that I made these in my stand mixer, I love that the dough takes minutes to […]
Chicken pot pie soup
Soup season is finally here, I am thrilled to be whipping out my slow cooker out of storage. The basics of making the perfect soup starts with browing your onion and meat and roasting your veggies. So don’t skip these steps! These steps ensure your soup is flavorful and rich. My family have been requesting […]
