We spent the majority of our honeymoon in the most gorgeous cottage, hidden at the end of a tree-lined lane, with forest and fields around us. It was the perfect choice for us -close enough to town to […]

I had this recipe bookmarked for quite a while, waiting for the right occasion to make it. Until, of course, I forgot about it, only to rediscover it this past week. As I’m still slowly moving in to our […]

There are some things I’m willing to spend time on. Homemade short crust pastry, slow cooked lamb shanks, or making koeksusters or salted caramel from scratch. However, making bread is not one of those […]

This past weekend saw us move the majority of our possessions into our new flat. With moving and getting married being two of the most stressful life events (apparently) I now doubt my wisdom at […]

After a long weekend of eggs generally not of the nutritious sort, I thought I’d start this week off with an egg-classic. The lovely man and I (soon to be the lovely husband!) have been watching How […]

This past weekend, while visiting the lovely man, I spotted a few very black and spotted bananas lying in the vegetable basket. There is only one solution for this, and after a quick poll of the […]

When the air starts to cool in Cape Town, the evenings get a little darker and wine choices change from white to red you know that autumn is on its way – and along with it, the best of the Cape Town […]

Thanks to generous Yuppiechef, I was lucky enough to receive the new Jamie Oliver book as it came out (to read my review of Jamie’s Great Britain, click here). This is the second recipeI’d made from the […]

As it’s […]

This past weekend we were utterly delighted, spoilt and pampered at Grootbos Private Nature Reserve. After an exciting email arrived inviting us, we were literally counting down the days until our trip. […]

A few months ago, we were invited to a new Peruvian restaurant- having absolutely no expectations, the food was delightful, flavourful and the subject of few conversations afterwards. This ceviche was […]

This recipe was born out of a mostly (empty) fridge and a desire not to let any of the random assortment of ingredients that remained go to waste. I adore baby vegetables and often buy them with no plans, […]

Or, also known as “Broccollini, Bacon and Caramelised Pear Salad with a Creamy Blue Cheese Dressing and Croutons” – but I thought that was a bit of a mouthful for a title…

This past Sunday I […]

One evening the man and I stumbled across a repeat of Heston Blumenthal’s In Search of Perfection on BBC Lifestyle – this episode was on making the perfect chilli con carne. When the episode started we were very […]

Near the end of last year, the lovely man and I enjoyed Bistro Sixteen82′s 3rd birthday celebrations – it was an evening of great food-loving friends, and even better food. Every dish was fantastic, but […]

Every so often you get an email that literally gives you goosebumps from excitement. This week, that email arrived from Grootbos Private Nature Reserve.

Situated just outside Hermanus, Grootbos is an […]

I am more than a little Christmas obsessed, and this one was particularly exciting : Luke and my last before getting married, and the start of some of the Christmas traditions we can’t wait to start […]
