About this blog

  • Farm girl by birth, city girl by marriage… The only constant in my life has always been good, wholesome food, wine and company! Although I chose a variety of career paths in my life, I studied food and wine for six years before embarking on a detour that finally led me back to the kitchen, where I feel so at home! This blog exists to invite you into my kitchen, with all its fragrances, warmth and laughter! Please come inside…

Catching up...

Fairlady      

I thought I'd share this with you - it appears in the November issue of Fair Lady.  It felt really good to see my creations in a glossy magazine!

9781875093489 Furthermore, I returned home from a long weekend on the farm to find my gooseberries very close to ripe, my artichokes bigger, and my tomato seedlings happier than ever!  I followed the principles of 'companion planting' when I sowed seeds and planted my latest herbs - it's astounding, the difference it makes!  I used Margaret Robert's book (for those who live elsewhere, she is a local guru!)  Should you want to order her book, I can strongly recommend you do so!

I picked noem-noem berries on the Karoo farm this weekend - it's an indigenous bush that grows in this area, and the berries were sweet and ripe.  I am busy making noem-noem jelly to enjoy with game meat, so I have to run...  Promise to tell more soon...

Wow, I am impressed! Well done my friend, you deserve this!

Ooops, just realised the enamel cups have malva puddings not choc mousse in them (hard to read that print) - an excellent idea! Bx

Well done! Yahoo! Looks fabulous!

Thank you, Barb! Sending you warm regards across the waters!

Hi Sophia

Well done on this Fair Lady exposure - those enamel chocolate mousse desserts look great! I couldn't see what the other was but I'm sure it would have been something equally delicious...

Go Girl!
