Finger foods & Meze. Such a pleasure to work for an international company.
Remember in lockdown when banana bread was the trending ?
We couldn’t get enough of it. And then the inevitable familiarity bred, well not quite contempt, but definitely disdain.
But banana bread remains a comfort food, perfect with a hot beverage on a chilly day.
I love how you guys love banana bread and always ask me when I’m making it. If you ordered today, I hope you find it absolutely yummy ❤️
Chocolate brownies made with black beans !
All you need:
Brownie pre mix (I used Snowflake but next time will definitely use Woolies)
1 tin of black beans
3/4 cup of black coffee or an Americano
Moist delicious brownies using premix & black beans. No egg & no oil.
Preheat your oven to 180 degrees Celsius.
Rinse one can of black beans in a colander. Drain & add to a food processor with three tablespoons of an americano ( or make a strong coffee with instant coffee & water)
Blend until smooth.
In a mixing bowl, add your premix. Stir in the bean paste & add in half a cup of the americano (black coffee)
Add in chopped Cadbury’s (or any chocolate you prefer) & pecan nuts if you desire.
Line it grease your baking tray. Bake your brownie according to the box- don’t over bake as this will dry the brownies out.
Drizzle some melted chocolate or dust some using sugar.
Voila ! Perfect with ice cream.
I found this iftaar dish on page & it has been making an appearance every evening. It’s that good. It will also be good served with a cheese board.
200g Cream Cheese (I swapped this for ricotta on one time)
100g feta cheese
1 to 2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tbsp. butter
6 dates, cut into cubes
2 tsp. chopped fresh thyme
1/4 to 1/3 cup honey
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper or paprika
Blend the cream cheese & feta with the olive oil. In a shallow pan melt the butter, lightly fry the dates until they are soft & the butter is browned (careful not to burn the butter- rather keep the heat medium low)
Turn off the heat and add 1 tsp freshly chopped thyme.
In a bowl, add the honey, 1 tsp freshly chopped thyme & the cayenne pepper.
Spoon the cheese onto a plate, top with the warm dates & all the butter. Drizzle the honey over. Not too much honey.
I play around with the cheese & used ricotta which worked really well. If you swipe through you will see that I also added some baked figs. This was truly sublime!
This recipe was requested. I think some version of it is cooked in most homes. It remains a classic on cold days & in Ramadan.
Chicken and Corn Soup

Chicken & avo bagels a delicious way to use left overs chicken.
I made it for Sehri but will definitely be making this for lunch & lunch boxes after Ramadan.
I bought the bagels from woolies but bagels are readily available everywhere now.
Its so simple
Left over chicken, shredded mixed with
garlic Mayo &
Siracha sauce
Fill your bagel. Top with
lettuce/rocket
sliced cucumber
Avo slices (sprinkle lemon juice & salt on your avo)
Close your bagel & toast inside a sandwich press.
Try to use a garlic Mayo - as it really give it that flavour.

When confirmed that Mc Donalds had removed the chilli cheese fries from the menu, I knew I was going to have to make it myself when the craving hit!
I made the sauce from scratch.
Cheese sauce :
1 1/2 cup of milk
2 tbsp butter
1 1/2 tbsp of corn flour
1 tbsp of flour
2 cups of cheese (Gouda and mozarella mixed )
1 tsp of paprika or
1 tsp cayenne pepper
1 tsp course salt
1 tsp course black pepper
Melt butter in a saucepan. Mix the corn flour & flour with the milk (making sure it’s smooth) & add to the melted butter. Now stir continuously. (I know the technically correct method is to add the flour to the butter, but this method is easier and less likely to be lumpy) Once thickened add the salt, pepper, paprika & cheese.
Pour the sauce over your chips. I air fried frozen chips- but you can fry them in oil.
I topped it with
chopped raw jalepeno chilies (pickled ones would be better or peppadews)
Chopped red chili
Fried chopped Macon
I would also add fried onions next time.
I usually buy the sachets of cheese sauce but I really tasted the difference in this home made sauce. Really yummy.
After a long time I’m feeling inspired, & back with some new recipes. Chargrilled corn salad
I made this salad today & it was beautiful. Every mouthful should contain some charred corn, with the avo & the sweet red pepper covered in the tart, slightly sweet dressing.
Try it and let me know what you think.
Falafel, chickpea, avo & feta salad with a yoghurt dressing. I love this salad from & wanted to try my hand at it, right down to the crunchy, delicious circle adorning it. I used a falafel mix which I purchased from (I think it’s available at most spice shops) and spring roll pastry to make the circle.
Swipe for the original salad. What do you think, did I come close?
2021 has been a difficult year personally & also for many of you. But I’m mindful of all the things I have to be grateful for. including this beautiful holiday at the ocean with my family. I’m thankful for my health, my family, and I am especially thankful for all of your kindness & support, for entrusting me to be part of the special events in your lives.
What were you thankful for in 2021? What are you looking forward to in 2022?
Sending love & positivity to every single one of you

Happy 60th Birthday to
Thank you Kirti for allowing team to be part of such a special day in your life.
We did the set up & food & it was such a pleasure to do this event - Kirsti really trusted me with the choices.
Halaal Matric Dance dinners for the Matric boys, their partners & some of the teachers.
I tried to replicate the menu that everyone else was having for the dinner. Everything was plated and delivered ready to be served.
Thank you for trusting me with this.
It’s been an emotionally taxing few weeks since most of my family & in laws live in Durban & Pietermaritzburg. I spent a lot of time thinking and reflecting (and worrying) and mostly solidifying my intention to mindfully practice gratitude for all our blessings. Even a simple thing like the ability to purchase fresh flowers is something I say Alhamdulillah for.
I hope everyone is staying safe & warm.

Brunch Wedding of the very sweet at one of my favorite venues
I truly appreciate the confidence she placed in me. We did the food as well as the set up (I’ll show that on another post)
Thank you to my amazing husband & team for carrying through my vision when I couldn’t be there. This was my first full wedding & I loved it- I hope I get to do many more
Thank you for helping me with Indian Savouries- I really appreciate your generosity.
This salmon in this marinade was very well received by my girlfriends on our weekend away. I kept the marinade simple - lots of fresh garlic (use ready made garlic paste if you need to), fresh squeezed lemon juice and loads of extra virgin olive oil. Serve with crushed baby potatoes and you have the best Fathers Day lunch at home! (Use the garlic potatoes from , partook as per packet instructions, place on an oven tray, squash each one with the back of a spoon, drizzle with olive oil & salt - bake at 190 degrees Celsius for 25-30 min - and you have crispy yummy potatoes.
The salmon side was from
We all know and love that spicy edamame at that restaurant in Sandton! It’s definitely my favorite
This is my easy version, really delicious & spicy. If you’re worried about the heat, start with 2 tsp of the chilli paste, and check the heat, before adding more.
A family favorite…. even your fussiest eater will love this delicious, so saucy strips and rice. And it’s great dinner on these cold winter nights…. comfort food. Add some hot Nandos sauce for extra heat. (You can omit the tamarind paste, it will still taste amazing!)Use for the best outcome. If you have any questions about this dish ask it in the comments.
Winter is here & it’s been icy cold in Joburg. There is nothing like a bowl of steaming hot soup to warm you from the inside. This creamy mushroom soup was a winner with many of my clients last year. I’m sharing the recipe with you all (you can easily double the recipe so that you can share or enjoy the next day)
Stay warm, stay safe ....
I made these easy, crispy chicken burgers using tender crumbed chicken breasts for dinner one day & the kids really enjoyed it. You can try it with boneless chicken thighs for a really juicy burger. I used the same recipe that I used for my crumbed chicken
Marinate your chicken overnight or for a few hours in
1 cup of Buttermilk
1 or 2 eggs
1 tsp chicken spice
1 tsp black pepper
1 tsp paprika
Then dip in the following:
1 cup flour
1/2 cup maizena
1 tsp chicken spice
1 tsp barbecue spice
Salt
Dip the chicken in the coating, shake off the excess & deep fry in hot oil until tender & golden (reduce heat during frying to ensure even cooking)
I used soft rolls but their Ultimate Burger Buns are even better. Top with miracle whip,coleslaw, red onion , or anything that you wish. And serve with oven chips.
I love what I do but sometimes I feel my creativity waning. This weekend away eating yummy food, doing silly things & just bonding with good friends was invigorating. I’m ready for some exciting, busy times ahead!
You know what this is about!

One pan saucy fish. If you’re looking for a quick, healthy mid week dinner that packs a punch in terms of flavor, this dish is for you. I used pangasius fillets from @capefishbar , but I have also made this dish using their kingklip fillets. They have a wide variety of beautiful fresh frozen fish. Serve it with plain basmati rice & sautéed spinach or broccoli. Add extra paprika to the sauce if you feel it needs it. I would say this quantity serves 2 to 3 adults. So double up if it’s for a larger family. #dinnerideas #dinner #recipe #easyrecipes #recipeoftheday #recipes #catering #cateringservice #fish #fishrecipes
