Easy Roast Gammon
A Roast Gammon can seem a little daunting to cook – perhaps it’s because they look fancy with all the pineapples and cherries and the talk of this glaze or that glaze. I’ve always delegated the gammon to an older, wiser person in the family with more cooking experience. BUT, I have now learnt exactly…
Chocolate Salami
A few weeks ago, my friend Bonny told me about this this famous “chocolate salami” recipe. Chocolate Salami? That sounds a bit weird, I thought. Nevertheless, she went onto explain how it was made and how she divides the mixture into smaller batches and then gives it away as a hostess gift or a fun…
Chocolate Molten Lava Cake
I’ve always wanted to make a Chocolate Molten Lava Cake (also known as Chocolate Fondant) but have always been too daunted to make one. They regularly make the contestants on MasterChef whip them up and there is always that tense moment just before they break the cake apart to see if the inside is soft…

It was about 35°C in Durban yesterday. I didn’t feel a thing. Air-conditioning is fantastic. Until you step out of it of course. And then you find yourself pulling your clothing away from your skin just so that it can breathe, you kick your shoes off, grab a magazine and start fanning away to get…

What in the world is a “S’more” you ask? Well, since you asked, it is an extremely popular campfire treat in the United States, which seems to have gained popularity throughout the world, thanks to Pinterest! It usually consists of roasted marshmallows and chocolate sandwiched between a sweet biscuit called a graham cracker (kinda like…

Chutney Chicken
This recipe was given to me by my beautiful mother. It’ so quick and you really don’t need many ingredients which is what I love about it. Also, if you don’t have cream, you can always use mayonnaise. In fact a lot of people use mayonnaise instead of cream when making a Chutney Chicken dish…
