When I first made eclairs about 3 years ago, they were a disaster… actually disaster is a nice word, they were a FLOP. They did not rise, they just shrunk as they baked and they still tasted eggy when I bit into them. That said, when we recently had a family prayer service for my … Continue reading Eclairs
Warm water bollas
Both my parents are Indian, but my mum is half Indian and half Muslim, which in my eyes is super awesome. Why you may I ask, well simple, I get to learn about two cultures that are both rich in tradition, colourful and both have recipes that are out of this world. Since my mum … Continue reading Warm water bollas
Sweet and sour meatballs
The other night, when insomnia hit home, I made a batch of Ree Drummonds meatballs. I thought that the meatballs would at least get a chance to get some frost bite on them before I needed to use them. I was greatly mistaken; I had to use them to next day. I incorporated the meatballs … Continue reading Sweet and sour meatballs
Fondant potatoes
For the past 10 weeks I have been watching My Kitchen Rules SA. And all I have been hearing and seeing being made over these 10 weeks, is FONDANT POTATOES!!!! I have never seen or tasted a fondant potatoe in my life, so I very intrigued as to figure out what exactly these people are … Continue reading Fondant potatoes
Carrot and yogurt salad
In our house every meal always has to have a side accompanying it, be it tomatoe sauce or a simple salad, but there has to be a side dish. I love to make raito with my curries but every once in a while, I come across a new Indian dish that I can’t wait to … Continue reading Carrot and yogurt salad
Macaroni and cheese with a twist
I can count the number of times that I have eaten Macaroni and cheese. This is not a dish that my mum made growing up, I guess it was to plain of a dish for everyone to enjoy and most macaroni and cheese are made with an egg, so this dish was definitely out of … Continue reading Macaroni and cheese with a twist
Ree Drummond’s meatballs
I love meat balls, I very seldom make meat balls, but thanks to watching an episode of the Pioneer Women where she used a mechanical ice cream scoop to make the balls, I was hooked. I never seem to get the round shape, my shapes always comes out wonky, but have no fear, no more, … Continue reading Ree Drummond’s meatballs
Vegan friendly chocolate chip scones
Whenever I hear the word scones, I always think plain boring hard circle cakes and only old people eat it. I keep surprising myself whenever I discover a new scone recipe. I came across this recipe and was a bit wary to try this out, because it contained butter and I normally bake with margarine. … Continue reading Vegan friendly chocolate chip scones
Oat bran muffin
I love muffins. I am not a huge health muffin fan, I am more of the sweet type muffin. A while back when I went to buy Jungle oats for my dad, I accidently bought the wrong Jungle oats, instead of buying oats, I landed up buying oat bran. I tried freely giving it away … Continue reading Oat bran muffin
Cow girl quiche
Since discovering the fact that I can make a pie crust from scratch, I am taking every opportunity to make pies and tarts, well actually anything that requires a pastry crust and that also includes a quiche. I was never really a big fan of quiches, the ones that you buy in the store, always … Continue reading Cow girl quiche
