Ever since I posted my no-bake Halloween biscuit truffles a few weeks ago I’ve been dying to try a Christmas version. I finally got around to it and they came out so well. I replaced some of the chocolate biscuits with ginger biscuits, added some orange zest for more of a festive flavour and dipped the truffles in dark chocolate which I decorated with mini fondant holly leaves, sprinkles and glitter.
The holiday season is on the horizon (are you counting the days like me?) and that means there’ll be lots of gatherings coming up. This latest recipe is perfect for entertaining and I hope you’ll love it as much as I do. Besides tasting great this snacky delight is also something that you can whip up relatively quickly. The crackers can be baked in advance and the feta can be whipped in minutes, so there’s no last minute stressing just before your guests arrive.
We love a batch of freshly baked muffins around here, and these delightfully soft and light apple muffins with a crispy crumble topping are fabulous for tea time. Apple and cinnamon is a flavour match made in heaven, and these muffins come together easily using ingredients that you’ll find in your pantry.
BOO! It’s Halloween tomorrow, and kiddies all around are looking forward to the big day! My kids are putting the finishing touches on their costumes and planning their walking route around the neighbourhood, it really is lovely to see them so excited. This latest recipe is a Halloween treat that kids, both young and old, can get behind!
This beautiful spring dessert is fit for high tea! Apple tart does require a little time and effort, but you’ll be rewarded with a show stopping treat. The base is a sweet shortcrust pastry that can be made in a food processor (love that) which is filled with creamy vanilla bean crème pâtissière. This is topped with slices of apple and an apricot jam glaze – an absolute treat.
The mornings are getting lighter (yay!) but it’s fairly cold and wet here in the Cape. As we head into spring I find myself turning to lighter dishes whilst still craving the comfort that comes from a hearty winter meal. This halloumi and couscous salad is the perfect example of that, and who doesn’t love melting halloumi.
It’s here!!! I’m absolutely thrilled to share that my first cookbook “Cupcakes & Couscous – from my kitchen to yours” is now available! Inside you’ll find a treasury trove of much loved recipes for all occasions, from me to you.
When it comes to quick and easy bakes crunchies are my go-to, especially when baked goods are required for school events. I tend to have all the ingredients on hand and kids just love them!
