A while back I bought both of Annabel Langbein’s cookbooks. It wasn’t as smooth sailing as I thought it would be. Online shopping can be so complicated at times. I followed the simple rules, add to cart, click to pay and pay and then I waited and waited and then I received a phone call. … Continue reading Hokey Pokey ice cream
Chilli con carne skillet
I have never tried making a dish that was made from start to finish in a skillet. Then I came across this recipe in the Foodies of SA cookbook and I really really wanted to try this recipe. Then came the skillet part, I made part of the recipe in the skillet and then I … Continue reading Chilli con carne skillet
Sausage casserole muffins
Sausage casserole muffins I haven’t made a breakfast muffin in forever. Not because I am lazy but because who wants to eat a muffin that was made the night before and reheated in the morning and have it served on a plate and being called breakfast??? Not me, I hate to reheat eggs, maybe it … Continue reading Sausage casserole muffins
Roasted squash, avocado and rocket salad
Roasted squash, avocado and rocket salad We as a family are not huge salad eaters. I mean we eat salad as a side dish but not as a main dish. When I first came across this recipe, I was a bit dubious to make it, firstly seeing as that it was a main dish and … Continue reading Roasted squash, avocado and rocket salad
Jerk Chicken
Jerk chicken I have been seeing this recipe in literally every cookbook I have been looking at for a while. I actually first came across this recipe in one of Mary Berry’s cookbooks and well, the picture did not look that appetizing. Trust me when I say that my father is a visual eater when … Continue reading Jerk Chicken

Normally I would allow that during any given day of the week but not on a Sunday. Sundays are reserved for meals that are wholesome, hearty and make you feel … Continue reading Pad thai
Veggies burgers
Veggie burgers I make meat burgers all the time, it seems easier to make rather than buying the ready made burgers from the store. However, I have not made homemade veggies burgers before. My mother has been nagging me to try making soya burgers from scratch, but it seems to daunting as to how everything … Continue reading Veggies burgers
Orange sweet rolls
Orange sweet rolls I have always wanted to try Cinnabon’s cinnamon rolls. When they finally opened up not far down the road from where I work. It was my first stop before heading home as soon as they opened. How disappointing. The centres were raw raw and 3 for R90.00 was a very expensive thing … Continue reading Orange sweet rolls
Potatoes au gratin
Potatoes au gratin 20 years ago, in my hey days, I was a EP swimmer. I gave it all up in high school. What I remember the most about those days, is not spending weekends doing time trials, or school holidays crammed into a bus driving around the country for swimming meets, or the fact … Continue reading Potatoes au gratin
Gingerbread cake
From as long as I can remember I have wanted to join in with the gingerbread house making festivities over Christmas. However as I am not one that believes in my biscuit strength I am a bit dubious about making a gingerbread house, actually to tell you the truth. I haven’t even attempted to make … Continue reading Gingerbread cake
