I will not lie; the past week has been hectic. My nerves are frazzled, emotionally drained and physical exhausted. Although I have not been directly affected by what has been going on in Durban, the chaos and panic has managed to trickle down into the Eastern Cape. When Durban business shut down, our province was … Continue reading Raisin loaf

Pomegranate toast
So for some or other reason I landed up looking at Padma Lakshmi’s Instagram page. Don’t ask me why, as I have never really been a follower of hers, there has never been that appeal. Don’t get me wrong she has a killer figure and amazing fashion sense. Yes I see her in the headlines … Continue reading Pomegranate toast
Fenugreek and coriander pancakes
The start to this year 2020, has been a terrible one, where food is concerned. If I have cooked 10 homemade dishes, then that is a lot. My new addiction is the Mr D food app, it is just so convenient a girls dream man I tell you. Then came the fasting period, so early … Continue reading Fenugreek and coriander pancakes
Corn bread
I have always heard of corn bread being made on television and I recently visited a friend whose sister was visiting her and she was busy making corn bread, I left before it was completed baking, so I never got to taste. I was reading Tiffani’s cookbook and I came across a recipe for skillet … Continue reading Corn bread
Malabar paratha
I recently discovered paratha’s and how easy they are to make. I grew up eating roti. So when I came across paratha’s and the different paratha fillings there were out there, I couldn’t help myself but try it out. It was so strange to go into the Indian spice store and ask for atta flour … Continue reading Malabar paratha

I never met my father’s mother, but from the pictures and what my dad tells me, she seemed like … Continue reading My Gran’s 2 ingredient vetkoek
Cheese sandwich loaf

I have never tried a recipe from this book, not because I am not a huge fan but because … Continue reading Cheese sandwich loaf
Feta and herb flat bread
I very seldom make flat bread, actually I never make flat bread. When I make naan I add a lot of dough, ensuring that the mixture rises like a cake, when in fact as per my parents, naan is supposed to be a flat bread. From my days I can remember Uncle Kishore from Spar’s … Continue reading Feta and herb flat bread
Basic bread dough
I have had Lisa Clark’s recipe book on my shelf since the day it was released to the public to purchase. I have 1 or 2 recipes from there but I have never sat down and really read through the book and looked at the recipes, until this week. WOW am I blown away the … Continue reading Basic bread dough
Eggless hamburger buns
I have grown up eating hamburger rolls every other day. It is the side effect of having a parent that works with bread, thank goodness I am not on a gluten, carb free, bread free diet, that would have been disastrous. Since I have my own bread machine, I try to stay away from store … Continue reading Eggless hamburger buns
