Pasta with a chicken liver sauce

August 16, 2012 in Bacon, Chicken, Food Bloggers Indaba, Pasta, Supper

I attended the Food Bloggers Indaba in June, this year. It was a great event and we received 3 bags full of delicious goodies. I have used these goodies to create wonderful food, and this pasta with chicken livers was inspired by some of the things in our bags.

I craved chicken livers for quite some time now, but since my son does not eat this, I had to wait until one night he went out. Well, he chose Tuesday night to go and watch a musical at a local school and they would also have supper there.

Although I was glad that I could finely cook chicken livers, it was also an awful night to take him to attend the show!   If you live in Cape Town, you will know that we really had violent storms and heavy rain recently. We also had some hail or ice rain, like some people described this.

Well, luckily he enjoyed his night out and we enjoyed our chicken livers!

At the FBI we received some Fairview Amazing Pinotage Rosé! VG and I opened it one night and it is one of the best Rosés, if not THE BEST, I have ever tasted. Unfortunately we could not drink all of it, so I added some to these chicken livers with some Massel’s Chicken Bouillon cubes that we also received in our goody bags. I really think this was the best chicken livers that I have ever made (or tasted).

My FBI experience

June 30, 2012 in Food Bloggers Indaba, Food events

I woke up on Sunday, 24 June 2012, feeling very excited! The biggest event on any Food Blogger’s event list, South African Food Bloggers Indaba, was on my agenda for the day!

South African Food Bloggers Indaba

Food Bloggers Conference in South Africa

My daughter and I were both attending the event and we left just after seven in the morning. Outside we were met with a rainy, cold and grey day. The event was taking place at the Pick and Pay Conference centre in Kenilworth. Although cold and grey outside, inside we were met with warmth and one could feel the excitement in the air.

The registration process was extremely efficient and took less than a minute. We received an apron and a Wusthof knive with compliments from  Yuppiechef on arrival.

It was wonderful, seeing old blogger friends again and meeting new ones. It sounded like a family gathering, with all the: “it is so nice to see you again” and “finally we meet!” etc!

I would have loved to socialise a bit longer, but the formal event started too soon with the welcoming done by Paul Raphaely from NoMU, who was the MC for the day. After the welcoming Paul Galatis of Yuppiechef spoke briefly.
