Correct me if I’m wrong but sliders aren’t that common here in South Africa. In fact, the first time I heard of them, I was an innocent 15 year old watching ‘Harold and Kumar go to White Caste’ all this build up only to have them chew on these tiny birgers!? Not much made sense…

#Recipe: Tasty Oven Mash
My recipe for mash potato always changes. Sometimes, I add tiny pieces of onion, sometimes, I substitute milk for cream but one thing always remains constant: Butter.

#Recipe: Hash Egg cups
