If a creamy, comforting and quick meal is what you’re after then you’re in the right place. Not only does this meal deliver on flavour, but it’s a one pot wonder so you’ll have less washing up to do afterwards, love it! The hero of this recipe is the orzo, which cooks together in the pot with all of the other ingredients. My family might argue that the chorizo is in fact the real hero here, and who can blame them?

Mention the words “hot fudge sauce” and immediately I think of rich, chocolatey deliciousness. This quick recipe is perfect for dessert emergencies or spontaneous chocolate cravings, and in my opinion is better than store-bought sauce. I remember making a similar recipe as a child and drizzling the sauce over vanilla ice cream – the best! So, it was time to recreate that food memory and I’m so pleased with the results.
This week, we’re diving into a cosy bake that’s just right for tea time gatherings or as a birthday spoil. My husband and I celebrate our birthdays this week so a cake theme seemed fitting! This one’s a goodie – soft chocolate cake meets juicy and sweet pears, all topped with a crispy and buttery chocolate crumble. It’s a cake recipe that brings simple elegance to your table.
In Cape Town at this time of the year the weather keeps us on our toes – you never quite know what you’re going to get. Overall it’s milder, the days are sunny and the evenings are cooler (my idea of heaven)… with the odd scorcher, sudden downpour or balmy evening snuck in between. Basically, in this in-between season, we need to be ready for anything!

Holidays like Easter bring out my inner child. I love the egg hunts (you’re never too old in my opinion), the treats, the pastel colours – it’s hard not to get excited! Of course, having kids keeps that magic and excitement alive and these adorable Easter basket cupcakes are the perfect holiday baking project for them to enjoy.
When it comes to comfort food, the warm aroma and sweet taste of stewed apple with cinnamon are among the best, and I’ve made that the star of this easy, no-fuss dessert. This rustic galette offers all the cosy flavours of an apple pie without the hassle. The pastry comes together in a food processor in a matter of minutes, and best of all, you don’t even need a pie dish!

If this title caught your eye, then chances are you’re considering buying an air fryer – but like me, you’re totally overwhelmed by the sheer number of options out there. With so many models and sizes to choose from, it’s not as simple as just grabbing one off a store shelf. At this point I feel like one of the last people in Cape Town without an air fryer – I’m half expecting my friends to stage an intervention: “It’s time. You need an air fryer.” And honestly? With life getting busier and quick, healthy meals becoming a priority during the week, they may just be right.

There’s something irresistible about biting into a perfectly crisp, golden samoosa, and today, I’m sharing my recipe for these delicious veggie samoosas. The filling is a flavourful mix of butternut, rosemary, feta, and peas, brought to life with warming spices. On the side, I’ve prepared a minty yogurt dipping sauce that complements the samoosas beautifully. Samoosas are wildly popular, and whether you’re hosting a crowd for nibbles and drinks or simply craving a comforting snack, this is one recipe you’ll want to try!
