I like using wood cheese boards for most of my cheese platters but I also like to use different trays to add some interest. Here I used a woven tray but marble, resin or acrylic trays all work well. The size will obviously be dictated by how many guests you are planning on serving....

It is the perfect drink to make or serve in Summer when there is an abundance of fresh fruit in season.

Because believe me when I tell you, this is what the good Colonel was talking about when he said “finger lickin good”. In South Africa, peri-peri chicken is a bit of a thing. We love the stuff. We even started a fast food chain that is now worldwide (and super famous) focused on it....

Today is all about indulgence. It’s about eating cake and not apologizing for it. And when the cake in question is this snow white, light and airy creation, what do you even have to feel guilty about? I’ve been thinking about combining lemon and white chocolate in cake-form for the longest time because of all my favorites to create desserts with, white chocolate pretty much tops the list. I wanted a cake with a very soft, delicate crumb and decided to once again use my yoghurt cake recipe....

To achieve these goals, you only need to do three things: Steam the potatoes Here’re the reason that you should always steam your potatoes instead of boiling: The potatoes won’t be water-loaded. It won’t be a problem even if you overcook the potatoes (which happens more often than you’d think when you’re preparing multiple dishes for a party)....

Because I had never actually tasted a scotch egg, I didn’t really know what the end result would be but I knew I wanted it to be as simple as possible. Because my original memory of this classic picnic staple is of oozy yolk, I knew I would have to just boil the egg before encasing it in sausage meat.
