SPEEL • PLAY
“We don’t stop playing because we grow old; we grow old because we stop playing.” - George Bernard Shaw
Woordfees 2024’s theme is challenging us to be playful…the definition being “engage in activity for enjoyment and recreation rather than a serious or practical purpose”. What fun!
For this dinner we built a scrabble table and played with words and phrases relating to the food we served. I this I can confirm: because we “played”, the work felt much less stressful.
Hope to see you at @woordfees 2024 im Stellenbosch (30 Sep to 6 Oct)- you will find us at the Kaya Kafee serving up fabulous festival food. 🍅

CRAVED SALAD
It is a sort of Caesar salad, mixed with a little seeds and avocado, and it HITS THE SPOT!
With the sun showing itself ever so slightly today, it felt like the perfect opportunity to make this salad AGAIN. It is a party in your mouth, and pretty much warms my heart and soul. Why don't you try?
What you will need
- egg yolks
- marinated anchovy fillets
- parmesan cheese
- olive oil
- salt & pepper
- baby gem lettuce
- avocado
- seed sprinkle
- a fork and a quiet corner to eat in peace 😉
- a glass of crisp Chenin Blanc won’t hurt
Let me know what happens in your heart when trying it!

AIR FRYER EGGS
O man people, this changed my life. I love a boiled egg but must say, have struggled to get a 100% success rate on getting them "just right" by boiling in water. Personally I like the white to be set and the yolk to be a little jammy...so timing is everything!
So, when I saw people using their air fryers for this task, I was on board...it took me a little while though! 😉 You will have to test your own fryer, but these are the times we use in our Instant Vortex plus from @instantpotsa :
- cold large/xlarge eggs
- preheat air fryer on air fry function, 135•C
- place 4-6 eggs in the fryer basket
- set timer for 9-10min (soft, runny eggs), 11-12min (set white with medium yolk) or 13-14min (hard boiled)
- when timer is done, plunge eggs into ice water for 1min before peeling
- serve
Let us know in the poll below if you have used your air fryer for this "job" before?

TARRAGON CHICKEN
Cooler weather in Cape Town calls for a little bit of comfort cooking. The I came across this Instagram post/recipe of @juliusroberts and could to wait to make it. (Find the link to his reel in our stories.) O my word. It was amazing! Rich, tasty, comforting, easy and amazing. We served it as a chicken and rice bowl with chopped tomaties and a good squeeze of lemon. This will definately become a regular in our house. Yumm!!!

“HOT CROSS” CARROT CAKES
For Easter, we share this special recipe with you which is our take on a Carrot Cake. There must be 1000’s of recipes out there and each differ marginally. I added and took away bits and bobs until I was happy with the taste and texture and ultimately how I like it. Read: NO RAISINS! 😉
Similar to hot cross buns, carrot cake has a lovely spiciness, so to play on that theme we decorate it with the cross on top with a perfectly balanced cream cheese icing. A wonderful “dessert with a message” on Easter Sunday. Enjoy!
