I had to play around with this recipe a few times to get it just right, and I’m so glad I persevered because these ginger and dark chocolate bars are absolutely delicious! They’re chewy… More
One pot beef chilli
This basic beef chilli recipe is so satisfying and will warm you up from the inside out on cold winter evenings. We love a good old spag bol at home, and beef chilli is a bit like spag bol’s spicy cousin. With beans. Pop the pot onto the table along with your side dishes, and let everyone help themselves and build their own meal. This is one recipe where I know I’m guaranteed to see clean plates at the end of dinner time!
Honey rusks
Today’s post is all about one of our local breakfast and snacking staples. South Africans need no introduction to this twice-baked biscuit and I’m sure most would agree that happiness is the sight of a fully stocked jar of home made rusks on the kitchen counter, haha! These rusks are a little different from a traditional recipe as I wanted to create a version made with honey instead of sugar, and we’ve really been enjoying them at home.
Quinoa bowl with tahini dressing
This bright and wholesome bowl is a lunch I’ve been enjoying on repeat lately. It’s also great for picnics. Ever popular quinoa is very versatile, and in this bowl I’ve topped it with spiced chickpeas, crunchy carrots, tomatoes, crumbly feta and a nutty tahini dressing. It’s an incredibly satisfying meal and a nutritious way to elevate your salad game.
Chocolate macadamia nut butter
Home made nut butter is one of the easiest things to make, you can play around with add ins and you have full control over what goes into it. Peanuts, almonds and hazelnuts are my nut butter go-to’s, but lately I’ve been playing around with macadamia nut butter and created a recipe that is next level delicious, I’m obsessed!
Easter treats recipe round up
I’ve been so looking forward to this Easter weekend and a chance to slow down, catch my breath for a few days and enjoy time with my family. We’re keeping things very simple this year without all the fuss and frills, but there will still be plenty of treats to enjoy. I decided to put together a round up of decadent Easter dishes that you can make over the coming weekend.
Double chocolate Easter buns
Easter is around the corner and I decided to give one of my favourite bread dough recipes a chocolate twist for the occasion. This brioche dough is enriched with milk, egg and butter making it extra delicious and soft. It’s really easy to work with and utterly divine to eat!
Plum squares
We are obsessed with stone fruit at the moment, especially plums. If only their season could be longer! We’ve been enjoying peaches, plums, mangoes and cherries in all sorts of recipes but mostly straight from the fridge – such an easy and delicious snack, especially when it’s hot outside. The end of season is fast approaching, and I wanted to get a quick plum recipe in before that happens.
Vegan sorghum salad
This is my favourite kind of summer lunch – a satisfying salad filled to the brim with fresh flavours. I chose to use sorghum grain for this tasty salad, and used tabbouleh inspired additions including tomatoes, cucumber and fresh herbs. The salad is tossed in an olive oil and lemon juice dressing, and it really is a treat for the taste buds.
