As much as we like to get fancy in the kitchen, we love nothing more than a lovely, comforting, classic bake. And nothing screams homely quite like an apple pie straight from the oven. Who’s with us?

This is the tomato bredie potjie is tastiest, most flavourful potjie that you will ever make. I love lamb and using it in a potjie is just perfect, especially when you cook it on the bone with some marrow and fat. That is where all the flavour comes from and South Africa has some of the best lamb in the world.
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.
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!

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…
Because pastry. Take advantage of the end of the stone fruit season with this gorgeous plum galette recipe that also just happens to be perfect for the beginning of autumn.

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.
That satisfying pop when you bite into an ice-cold grape or that gentle sip of red you take after a long working week, there’s something pretty special about these little round fruit that beautifully dots our country’s vineyards. But besides it’s aesthetics and ability to be turned into a beloved alcoholic beverage, we want to explore the wonderful ways in which we can cook with it. So, get your grapes and we’ll meet in the kitchen!
