This week has been exceptionally busy with my students doing their practical exams on Tuesday and Wednesday morning and the rest of the first years from Wednesday – Friday afternoon.

If you are South African, you would have probably eaten a version of this soup before. It would most likely use a packet of Knorr Thick Vegetable soup mix. This recipe is an homage to that recipe but uses made from scratch ingredients. No soup mix in sight! Tell me if you think its a

This soup is like bolognese, but the soup version. I wanted to have pasta and hungrybae wanted to have soup, thus this Franken dish was born. It seems strange but was actually quite satisfying and comforting. Bonus points for the next day as the pasta absorbs the liquid and you have a pasta dish to

This dish was made with bits and bobs from my fridge. I had one wheel of rice noodles left, which isn’t enough for two people on its own, but other ingredients bulked it up for the salad. The chicken satay is adapted from a recipe found on Pinterest and the peanut dressing is my own

A Kathi Roll is a popular Indian street food made from a flatbread, egg omelette, chicken filling, salad and sauces. We woke up late on Sunday morning so instead of making eggs, I made this! It was the perfect brunch meal. Ingredients: To make 1 Kathi Roll 1 tortilla 1 egg milk or water salt
As you can see, I have been heavily inspired by Indian street food this week. Hubby found an amazing YouTube channel for us to watch which I can’t get enough of. It’s called The Food Ranger – Trevor James is a travel & food blogger who goes on the most amazing adventures and eats even more amazing
