But is it actually a problem because is there a better combinations of savoury flavours out there? Who could resist juicy tomatoes, oozy mozzarella and vibrant basil together?...

Kashaya Powder is a mixture of Indian spices and natural herbs. Stirred with hot milk, it is a healthy concoction, similar to green tea....
It’s officially winter. All the trees in my garden have lost their leaves, the mornings are dark and icy and our fireplace is working over time. My favourite time of the year. There’s so much I love about winter but the food has got to take first place. Comforting soups, stews and curries slowly cooking all day is my version of perfection. When the wonderful people from La Motte sent me a whole bunch of their fantastic wines along with their cookbook, Cape winelands cuisine, I couldn’t wait to get cooking....

Think roast chicken, crunchy roasted potatoes and green beans. Swoon! It’s also a fantastic form of carbohydrates, full of fiber and vitamin C....

These muffins are crazy easy to throw together and require very little work on your part....
Moo Goo Gai Pan, or mo gu ji pian (蘑菇鸡片), means mushrooms and sliced chicken. It originates from Cantonese cuisine and was slightly transformed when it became one of the most well known American Chinese dishes. In the US, the takeout style moo goo gai pan is a colorful dish that has a lot of fun textures created by colorful vegetables and the juicy tender chicken slices. In this homemade version, I add a bit more veggies than the restaurant version, making it a nutritious and healthy meal without compromising on taste....
Be still my beating heart! When I first saw stuffed-burgers on Diners, Drive-ins and Dives, I almost fainted. Well not really, but you know what I mean (my husband says I have a talent for over-reacting)! What could be better than a juicy, beefy burger stuffed with oozy, melting mozzarella cheese? Not much, if I have to be honest! If you know me, you know I have a serious burger addiction and I even ordered a cheeseburger in Malaysia!...
