Vegan Bean Burger with Beetroot Mayonnaise

Friday night is burger night in our house. I have been trying out meat-free options for ages now – I am yet to find one that works for me. Generally they all end up too soft and just break up – even when I leave them in the fridge. I haven’t tried these ones yet […]
Vegan Milk Tart

I have been lactose-free for years but using plant-based milks is not cheap so I generally opt for the lactose-free options available. I have written a post about the different plant-based milks available if you are trying to cut out dairy. From a cost point of view this milk tart is not the cheapest but […]
Vegan Loaded Nachos

Holidays are almost here! This means long lazy lunches in the sun with friends and family. No one wants to be spending their time in the hot kitchen making meals and preparing snacks. I am all about fun, easy and delicious meals. I am also all about nachos! This recipe is perfect for the upcoming […]
Linguine Napoletana

More often than note it is the simple dishes that are the most delicious and lets be honest there is nothing as nice as a simple bowl of pasta! This is quick but delicious vegan meal that you can whip up pretty quickly especially if you use rice noodles because they cook really quickly. This […]
Grilled Mielies with Miso-Butter

I don’t love braai meat but I do love all the sides that go with it – I mean is a braai even a braai if you don’t have mielies? These mielies are delicious additions to your braai, especially if you have some vegetarian guests coming to visit. What is miso? Miso is a fermented […]
Chakalaka and Cheddar Cheese Braai Broodjies

Is there anything nicer than a grilled cheese sandwich? I don’t think so!!! It is so simple – just bread and cheese but it is SO delicious. Making your grilled cheese on the braai just takes it up a level. If you have kids then making piles of braai broodjies is a must – it […]
Beetroot & Red Cabbage Salad with Feta

Full disclosure, I do not like beetroot – somehow all my kids eat it though so I do buy it from time to time. Despite my feelings about beetroot this is a salad that David would really enjoy and it is super easy to make, making it perfect for a braai or even a mid-week […]
Crunchy Mixed Bean Salad

Summer is here. Yeah, I know it is officially only Spring but we really do only have two seasons here – winter and summer. The sunny days means more time outside which means the slow cooker has been packed away and it is time now for braais and salads. A mixed bean salad is very […]
Truffle Mushroom Steak

A steak doesn’t always need an actual sauce. This luxurious combo of truffle oil and pan-fried large brown mushrooms on a perfectly cooked matured steak are the stuff dreams are made of. What is truffle oil? According to Wikipedia, truffle oil can be defined as the following “Truffle oil can be produced using any oil. […]
Smoked Salmon & Mushroom Frittata

Frittatas are like quiches richer cousin. They are basically the same thing but a frittata is just so much nicer, or maybe I just make a really bad quiche. Either way frittatas are one of my favourite things to make. My kids aren’t big on them but then I am a little like Mitchell from […]
