Growing up, patha was this delicacy that could only be shipped in from Durban and the only time we really ate patha, was when we were cleaning vegetables for our annual July prayers.

Eggless Hungarian Tart
What a year this has been so far. I know it’s only 8 days into the new year, but to me it feels like it is already June. The first day of the year, I landed up injuring the bottom of my foot from my own stupidity. I was too lazy to undo the laces … Continue reading Eggless Hungarian Tart
Malva milktart

Orange cake
If I had to see this recipe in a book, I would have overlooked it and turned the page. I am not a huge orange fan. The only orange related food we have in the house is a random bottle of Orange juice, that I sometimes crave for breakfast. But you will never find a … Continue reading Orange cake
