Making a curry is super fun. It’s literally 50 spices, masalas, tons of coriander and smells that linger in your house until the day after. I always serve it with rice, because I’m too lazy to make naan l but yesterday was the day that I stop being lazy and I made it. It was…

Low carb, high flavour dinner
I am part of the millions of people who are opting for lower carb lifestyles as part of their health needs. It has not been an easy journey because of the ease and availability of carb filled foods. The one thing I enjoy though is the creativity that comes with searching for alternatives which as…
Valentines platters
If I tell you I don’t have the energy to write then you know that I must be exhausted. Today is one of those days. I was ‘discovered’ by, now a friend, who lives and works near me. She initially ordered sauce from me and landed up ordering a Mexican platter for her staff and…

Hubby and I recently went to a braai when he so eagerly spotted carrot cake. He decided to keep space for it and ate very little food. When cake time came, he rushed to get a giant slice, took a giant spoonful of it, shoved it in his mouth and prepared for a taste explosion…
A taste of the greats with Vriesenhof
Before I get down and dirty with all the juicy details, lets just talk about where it was held. It is at times like these that I am ashamed to call myself a Jozi/Joburg original or even a foodie. There are so many hidden jems in our very own CBD that I have no even…
Backsberg Cabernet Sauvignon [Review]
Paarl, home to the first white pinotage, pinotage-fortified dessert wine and the first wine blend of tempranillo, tannat and tinta amarella. Today we’re mentally taking a trip to the second oldest wine region in South Africa: where rich, full bodied reds and crisp whites are made. The farm is Backsberg who bottled their first vintage…
Imbuko Sauvignon Blanc Review
As part of my effort to increase my wine collection and knowledge with pocket-friendly wines that are absolutely delicious, I found myself drawn to this unkown (to me) brand, Imbuko. Priced really reasonably at R39,99 at Food Lovers Market in Hilfox, I decided to try one their Sauvignon Blanc that same afternoon. If you know…
