This recipe is from a recent campaign I worked on, and I simply had to share it with you – it’s that good. The oven does most of the work here, and although the cooking time is a few hours the actual hands on prep time is minimal. The cooking time is worth it, you’ll be rewarded with tender pork that just falls apart. These smokey pulled pork buns are the business!
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 my trip to the U.K. last month and it’s a goodie for winter. I’ve used beef chuck in this pie filling which is fabulously tender, hearty and tasty. It’s just one of the meals I enjoyed during my stay, and I’ve listed a few other favourite foodie finds below, scroll down for the deets!

I love a bowl of creamy pasta and the unseasonably cooler weather we’ve been having this week has me craving meals like this, they’re just so comforting. This is another great recipe to keep handy for weeknight suppers as it’s quick to prepare and the whole family will love it.
It’s been one of those weeks where I’ve been drowning in admin and feeling like I’m being pulled in ten different directions all the time – it’s been hectic! The busy year end season has definitely started and now more than ever I need recipes that I can get on the table fast. Did I mention that they need to deliver on flavour too? A quick pesto pasta is definitely a great option for those crazy days (plus pasta = comfort food = happiness).
Hi foodie friends. Anyone else feeling slightly panicked at how quickly this month is going? The kids have just started their final term of school for the year, and it’s always jam packed so I’m bracing myself for that. Between school, recipe testing and book writing, house guests and two family birthdays (and I haven’t even thought about Halloween) there is a LOT going on right now, and I’m leaning on my repertoire of easy week night suppers more than ever to keep the troops fed and happy.
When I made this pie for the first time a few weeks ago the family really enjoyed it. We love chicken pie, and it’s been a while since I made something with phyllo pastry (I happened to have some in the freezer that needed to be used) so I put the two together in this very easy recipe – yummo!
Ah, I see the weekend on the horizon! We love Fridays around here. The end of the work week, no homework to worry about and a chance to kick back and engage relaxation mode. Friday nights are often movie night around here, and this pizza is regularly requested by the kids. As tempting as it is to rather pick up the phone and order in (and don’t get me wrong, we do that too!) this pizza is worth making from scratch and actually doesn’t require too much effort in terms of hands on cooking. It’s super delicious – perfect movie night food!
