Anari and mint spaghetti
Dinner tasted like Cyprus! Dean cleaned out the fridge this weekend (oh the horror…) and he found some fully seeled anari (Cypriot cheese) and mint, which made up for the evil lurking in a puddle that may have once been … Continue reading
Brigitte’s Käse Spätzle (Kaese Spaetzle)
I can’t remember where I first had käse spätzle, but I have come to associate it with family friends in Durban. Despite my mum being German, it is not something I grew up with, but it is a dish I … Continue reading

Jono’s pizza
I do so love being cooked for. In Joburg recently, my friend Jono of MESS cooked up a pizza dinner of deliciousness (he may bitch about wine and the wine glasses it comes in, but he makes a mean pizza). … Continue reading
Spinach and ricotta pie-lets with strawberry, sundried and baby tomato reduction (and asparagus and almond flakes)
Oooo, its been a while. I have been eating. I just haven’t been at home. So I have a bit of a backlog of deliciousness. This is the meal Dean and I cooked before I went gallivanting off to the big city. … Continue reading

Butternut, lentil, blue cheese and rocket tarte tatin (upside down pie)
Sjoe I am full. This dish is a bit richer than our usual week night dinners, but its easy and looks oh so impressive. Again, I found myself scrounging around for ingredients after running up and down a very steep … Continue reading
