Serve it with other Thai dishes to create a mouthwatering flavour. Ingredients: 1/3 cucumber 1/2 red onion 2 Tb Rice Vinegar 2 tsp sugar Method: Cut the cucumber […]

I swear I don’t just eat noodles all the time. Although if I had a choice I would, I love them ALL muahahaha. Here is how I turned my leftover Vietnamese salad into Pad Thai. I took out the mint leaves and chucked the rest into the pot. The cucumber was de-seeded so it was
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

I made this marinade for chicken legs but any pieces of chicken would do. You could even use this as a marinade for a Braai (barbecue), just make extra to baste your chicken with while it cooks. It is quite spicy so feel free to adjust the chillies and Sriracha quantity to suit your own tastebuds.

I wanted to call this “No Brainer Banana Bread”, after all what else would you do with really, really ripe bananas. I wanted to make one that didn’t have loads of sugar and uses wholewheat flour instead of cake flour. The conundrum arises when wholewheat flour is heavier than cake flour and can make a

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
