You guys know I love pasta, but with water restrictions in place it’s a waste of water to boil pasta. This stovetop Mac and Cheese doesn’t waste a single drop and plus its so easy and saves time you won’t be making it any other way after you try this. The best part is you […]

Deep down, I really enjoy eating simple food. People often ask me what’s my favourite food to eat because of my job, and while I do love trying new places to eat, food that I grew up eating is my favourite. This butter beans curry is one of those dishes. It can be enjoyed with

It was so hot in Cape Town that I didn’t feel like eating food or meat. I wanted something light that was still tasty and had all those umami flavors. This is Vietnamese inspired, as I wanted to make a more traditional dressing but did not have fish sauce. You can add whatever veggies you

This dish is often served in a wedding house before the big day. I had no idea how to make it but did some quick googling to see what the spice combinations were (not that I followed any of them). This turned out delicious and hubby was super chuffed as it is one of his

Sajida is my cousin and saved me from almost disaster as the original Naan recipe I had, used yeast and mine was expired! She

My Mediterranean journey through food is happening this week. Food is such a great way to travel to places when you physically can’t. I haven’t been on an overseas holiday in years and eating different cuisines keeps that wanderlust alive for me. When I ate the Tagine I really felt like I was on holiday

A lot of good things in life are unexpected, just like this salad. I’m not a huge lentil fan (only when it comes to eating dhal and rice) and was quite apprehensive when I made this but I thought the flavor combination would work and it did. Even more unexpected was the fact that hubby

This is hands down one of my favorite meals to eat, as a child growing up as well as an adult! The great thing about Khuri Kitchrie are really all the side dishes that go along with it. I tend to make the standard pumpkin curry and fish chutney accompaniments but spinach and masala aloo
