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 […]
Soji Halwa
Happy Fathers day weekend! Fathers day at our home is spent pretty relaxed, with the whole family outside around the braai, my husband says I’m an expert braai master – he isn’t wrong. The best gift you could give a Dad on fathers day is a full stomach of incredible food, and whether he’s a […]
Aloo Tikki
Crispy and delicious aloo tikki is a new favourite of mine. These spicy patties are the perfect snack and they make a great vegan burger patty alternative. I am currently binge watching Street Food on Netflix and after watching the Indian Street food episode I had to try these out for myself. Now I can’t […]

Garlic Naan
Whoo hoo, summer is almost here and that means the holidays are just around the corner. I enjoy cooking up a storm but during the holidays I prefer spending more time with my family and less time in the kitchen. How does one serve up delicious food that doesn’t take forever to make? It’s so […]
Lamb curry with cabbage
Now I don’t know how this dish came about but what I do know is that it is absolutely, incredibly delicious. This dish reminds me so much of my Grandmom who lives +- 250km away from me, this is one of her favourite dishes. What I love the most is the gravy and how it […]
