I find myself always posting food images and saying “Doesn’t look that good but it tastes awesome”. After watching an episode of My Kitchen Rules Season 2 South Africa, I became particularly interested in food plating trends. The contestants, in a sudden cook-off, were asked to prepare desserts that highlighted a certain food. There was…

Something fishy: Fishermans Deli
Just before the Easter weekend, I spent the entire week in Cape Town working and attending a friend’s wedding. Every night we went out to eat and steak or lamb chops was my choice of protein. I got over the whole meat thing when I returned home and started planning how I was going to…
The Hot Skillet, The Cape’s hidden Gem
A Lady Vera year is never complete without popping into the Mother City. Usually, my trip consists of spending my days on wine farms tasting some of the best vino this country has to offer but this time, it went a little different. Two years ago, my friends from the UK sent us an invite…

Why is food presentation so important?
So I recently posted about a sandwich I made in less than 20 minutes, with chicken, Parmesan cheese etc and the pic I took was not the prettiest but to my defense, I was exhausted from coming back from holiday and everyone looked at me to feed them. I usually get a lot of likes…
Fit for new years
I have fallen way off the healthy food band wagon and indulged my sense in the tastiest food you could ever think of. One of them consisted of my Christ’s bucket list which was eggs benedict. Last night after a long day in the sun, I chomped on like 5 French fries throughout the day…
