We are so lucky here in South Africa to have such a rich abundance of fresh shellfish available to us. And this pasta nero, packed with Mediterranean flavours, is a great way to enjoy it during the winter months when we are missing those scrumptious seafood braais.
We love making these whenever we have leftover stir-fry. Our crispy Asian dumplings are a bite-sized taste surprise that you will go back for again and again.
Do we need to say anymore? There is no need to feel daunted when facing a nougat recipe. It is incredibly easy to make; our almond and apricot nougat comes together in a mere 6 steps. You will need some liquid glucose and a sugar thermometer, both of which can be purchased from a wide range of supermarkets.
This is the perfect dish to serve up if you are expecting people over this weekend. A comforting chicken pie gets an impressive, yet easy and fancy makeover. This creamy, luxurious pie will definitely be one to take centre stage at your next gathering.
Warm winter salads are something we are so grateful for. They allow us to inject a fresh and nutrient-dense meal in between carb-heavy, meaty options that are typical at this time of year. And since this is one of our favourite vegetarian dishes, why not transform it into a lovely deconstructed ratatouille salad.
Sunday lunch or dinner doesn’t get better than this. This beef bourguignon pot pie is intensely flavourful and fragrant with plenty of veggies, beef, bacon and, of course, red wine. So roll up those sleeves and get busy in the kitchen. And that apple mash… There are no words.
Just keep stacking! Our crumpet stack stuffed full of dill, mascarpone and smoked salmon are what weekend brunch dreams are made of.
Is there any combination like white chocolate and cranberries? These heavenly treats are just the thing to keep you happy and feeling comforted during winter. Not to mention that the cold weather is ideal for working with shortcrust pastry. So get cracking, and indulge in some white chocolate shortbread this weekend.
Today I want to talk to you about how I make my smoked brisket at the World Food Championships in USA. Smoking food is not big in South Africa – yet. America is where it’s at and it’s a lifestyle to them.
How gorgeous is this Greek whole baked fish? And you won’t believe how easy it is to make at home. So if you are having family and friends over and you guys are missing those summery fish braais, here’s your solution.
