This scrumptious tart is a delightful combination of tastes and textures. Golden, flaky puff pastry is topped with flavourful tomato pesto, a medley of roasted vegetables and melty mozzarella – it’s the perfect union of crunch and flavour. Are you hungry yet?
Hi foodies! I’m back in the kitchen after a fabulous few weeks in the U.K. and Ireland. The family and I packed so much into our time there including lots of sightseeing (i.e. walking, walking and more walking) and time spent catching up with family. In terms of eating out the rand-pound exchange rate is eye-watering at the moment, so home cooked meals were the order of the day, with only a handful of restaurant meals in-between. That was just fine with me. I love a good old nosy around the supermarket shelves over there as there are always new and interesting products to discover and delicacies such as McVities Jaffa Cakes and Tony’s Chocolonelys to stock up on (if you know, you know).

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.
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.
This warming and creamy soup is just what you need to keep you toasty during this very cold spell. In Cape Town the sun has been shining these last few days, but make no mistake… it’s icy out there! You can’t beat the flavour of home-made soup, and the bonus of making a big batch is that you can freeze the leftovers for another day.
This recipe is inspired by a recent segment I did on the Expresso show where we prepared a dish with barley, and it reminded me that it’s been a while since I enjoyed this chewy and nutty grain. As winter draws closer for us in the southern hemisphere this is a wonderfully warming and satisfying salad to make and enjoy.
Homemade veggie soups are so comforting and warming, and really very easy to prepare. Roasted carrots and butternut, along with the hint of ginger, give this soup it’s delicious flavour. This is a thick and creamy soup which makes it feel quite indulgent. It will definitely satisfy and warm you on a cold winters day!
I’ve been making lots of galettes these last few weeks, they are my favourite thing to bake at the moment! The buttery, flaky pastry is easy to work with and there are lots of different toppings and flavours to play with. I also love the perfectly imperfect nature of galettes, and their rustic appearance.
