And no, these aren’t Joseph’s but are the very, very clever product of my friend Sam’s warp-speed creativity – she is to home industries what Leonardo was to the renaissance; completely unstoppable. Anyway, she happened to see a picture of a rainbow cake during a work presentation and promptly went home and concocted a recipe [...]

This is yet another post inspired by my friend Jenty (no, much as it may seem like it, I’m really not stalking her, we just talk about cooking quite a lot these days). Anyways, she was looking to buy a new cookbook the other day, and I persuaded her to get Nigella Express because I [...]

Calling this a recipe is a bit like calling Paris Hilton an actress – a monumental stretch! It’s really more of a list of things to throw together than anything that could concievably be called a Proper Recipe.

Okay, although in this instance this recipe is intended to be a tomato relish to accompany the boerie rolls that I posted earlier, it can (very easily) be adapted to make a tomato base for mince, a tomato sauce for pasta, in fact almost anything that you fancy including cooked tomatoes in. You see, to [...]

In honour of the fact that tomorrow today is National Braai Day – okay, more correctly it’s Heritage Day, but for some reason (I forget quite what) it was ordained braai day, and as the new moniker has the blessing of the Arch himself (the one, the only, the incredible Archbishop Tutu, in case you were [...]

As you may know if you’ve been following this blog, I tried to make this recipe last week, and although it was delicious, it took me 90 minutes of solid stirring before it was done. Now, to many of you that may seem like a good reason to write it off, but actually, on the [...]
