Having guests around in summer means chilling outside around the pool, and no one wants to stand slaving away in the kitchen. But we've got you covered with three recipes perfect for enjoying by the side (or in) the pool.
Situated in Melrose Arch in the heart of Joburg, Jamie’s Italian is celebrating pizza in a whole new way. Oven-baked with the freshest ingredients and most spectacular flavours, they are showcasing a new pizza each week for the month of March.
It seems that the health world has found yet another way to surprise us by making sneaking veggies into food a trend. Remember the days when adding spinach to a smoothie was the in-thing? This year it’s all about creamy cauliflower smoothies!
Do we have any Potterheads out there? Similar to Cornish pasties, we have J. K. Rowling to thank for these scrumptious pumpkin-filled bites of goodness. Pumpkin pasties are wizarding food most commonly sold on the Hogwarts Express. Harry tried them on his first trip when he ordered some of everything off the trolley and had a shared binge with Ron Weasley that we are beyond jealous of.
Prepare our spicy chicken wraps in advance, freeze and then enjoy a Mexican meal in minutes whenever you like! Whip up this filling with a kick in less than an hour, freeze in individual portions and then re-heat (in a pan or in the microwave) and roll up in warm tortillas. Add a few dollops of sour cream and your dinner is good to go. Or you can, you know, just eat them right now!
Okay, I’ll admit, I can be lazy in the week when it comes to making supper. Technically, it’s not really laziness that’s my biggest problem – my imagination is lazy. Sometimes, just sometimes, after a long day at work, the last thing I am capable of doing is making decisions between chicken or beef; roast or spag bol. We’ve all been there. So when Gutsy Green called me to tell me all about the new start-up, I was all ears.
How many of you have opened up your fridge only to find a few odd tomatoes, half an onion and maybe some leftover rice? Then you head to the freezer and find that there is even less to work with! Putting together a meal in the last days of the month needn’t be a dreary affair, with a few pantry staples and these quick-as-a-flash home-made sauces, dinner will be just as tasty as when the kitchen was still fully stocked after pay-day.
Did you know that you can make risotto from barley? This lovely ingredient is much cheaper than Arborio rice and it is one of the lowest GI (Glycaemic Index) grains…

Since its arrival on the foodie scene, coconut water has been hailed as nature’s own miracle drink. Its wild popularity has led many to question its supposed nutritional value, dismissing the flavoursome water as just another passing health trend. But don’t be fooled. Coconut water is wonderfully hydrating too. The clear liquid found inside young, green coconuts (not to be confused with coconut milk) contains five essential electrolytes: calcium, magnesium, phosphorous, sodium and potassium. You’ve probably heard the claims that this sweet water has anti-ageing, anti-carcinogenic and anti-thrombotic effects, but this hasn’t been proven yet.
