Recipes
It is always nice to try something new, however, we shouldn’t forget the classics either! Keep an eye on my website for some great (or very disastrous) experiments in the kitchen by following the dropdown menu next to the Recipe tab at the top….
Travel
In 2008 I arrived on the English shore in a bid to see the world. Needless to say that my intention to travel the world only lasted a year before I met my husband. Ever since then we aim to go abroad at least…
Nail art
I have been painting my nails for the longest time, however, I have recently fell in love with stamping. Sometimes I will just sit and mess around with polish for hours… I would love to share some of my creations with you. I know…
Potato Salad with Candied Bacon bits
When all things spoke the potato said, ‘set me warm, dig me warm, eat me warm, that’s all i want.’ I couldn’t agree more with this age-old Irish proverb! Who doesn’t love a great dish that comes from the most humblest of origins: the potato.
Spicy Mulled Wine
Growing up I though that mulled wine was just plain and simply very wrong. Then I moved to the UK ten years ago and I discovered that I was the one in the wrong!
Quail Scotch Eggs
I cannot stand an over-boiled egg! The moment you bite into a blue-boiled egg the struggle begins…
6 Things I loved in South Africa
You often see these extreme health and safety picture meme’s with the caption ‘Only in Africa’… I’ve identified 6 things I truly love about South Africa.
Smokey Barbecue Chicken and Potato Bake
Meat and potatoes. That is what life is all about. Meat and potatoes. If you chuck in some cheese then life would be perfect!
Green Thai Chicken Curry
Homemade curries just fill the house with an amazing aroma.
B-A-N-A-N-A… bread
Every time I watch Despicable Me I have to chuckle when Dave yells: ‘B-A-N-A-N-A!’
To me there it only means one thing… Let’s bake!
The best steak sandwich ever!
Who doesn’t love a good steak? Put the steak in-between two pieces of (homemade) bread, add some bits and bops and you have yourself the best steak sandwich ever!
Freshly baked bread
Is there anything more comforting than having the rich smell of freshly baked bread waft through the house?
Homemade Tomato Sauce for Pizza
No pizza is complete without a little red sauce to pave the way to a culinary taste explosion – here is my version…
Homemade pizza dough
Can you smell it yet? That rich bready smell that wafts through the air as scorching heat gradually transforms it into a crisp golden hue of forbidden deliciousness…
My top six eateries in London

Minty potato salad
What would you do if potatoes become extinct?
Watermelon, feta and mint salad
With summer time I’m always on the prowl for something that is light, but tasty at the same time. With an abundance of mint in our garden it is inevitable that I have to incorporate it into my cooking.
Buttermilk Lasagna
I had a glitch with my online shopping today. The result? I had to be very resourceful with what I had in the fridge, freezer and cupboard when it came to making dinner tonight!
A Pasta Lesson at Jamie Oliver’s Cookery School
We decided that it would be really a lot of fun to do a cookery class at Jamie Oliver’s Cookery School. It truly was a lot of fun!
Buttermilk Chicken Katsu Curry
I am sure that there are as many recipes for Chicken Katsu Curry as there are people in this world. After loads of research I’ve finally put together a recipe that the hubby approve of!
The Ultimate Potato Salad
There are a few staples that you will always find at a South African braai: pap, sous, greek salad, garlic bread and potato salad. This is my ultimate potato salad recipe.
Sweet potato bake
My sister-in-law’s sweet potato bake hits just the right spot!
Chicken Pasta bake with Cream of Tomato Soup
This used to be my most favourite Tuna and Spinach tagliatelle dish of all time. Then I became allergic to fish and moved to the UK where spinach tagliatelle are hard to come by so I had to adapt…
Nail fail: Now 3 years later…
I thought: “I’ve been painting my nails for a while. I’ve been watching Youtube videos on nail art since forever and I have these awesome nail art pens. How hard can it be?”
Unconventional Spaghetti Carbonara
I can (and often do!) eat spaghetti for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Why is it unconventional?

😊 You are very welcome, Carol!
Thank you for the kind compliment! I’ve tasted clotted cream for the first time on a trip to Cornwall ten years ago ever since then I’m hooked. I felt like it transformed an ordinary scone into some luxurious and that’s how I see life; perfectly ordinary but it is the little things that makes it great!
Thank you for stopping by!xx
