Chicken Leek and Ham pie

I made these pies along with the Greek Lamb shanks and Lemon Flans for a dinner party of 23 people the other night and it went down a real treat. You can prepare the filling the night before and then just cover with the pastry and pop it in the oven half an hour...

Black Cherry Tiramisu

This is a non alcoholic Tiramisu that worked so well the friends and family were groaning at the table, taking "just one more little piece". It really is very simple and the only thing you need to be a little careful with is not turning the egg yolks into scrambled...

Lovers Shortbread

This has got to be the simplest shortbread recipe I have ever had the pleasure of making. It takes all of 10 minutes to prepare and another 30 minutes until you can eat your heart out, they taste fantastic and freeze extremely well, what more could you ask for?  I am...

Smoked Trout pate

Any trip to Dullstroom has got to include trout and along with the corn bread muffins there will always be some smoked trout pate and this recipe is also from the book "savour" which I changed slightly. It is rediculously simple and Oh so very tasty. We smoke our own...

Corn Bread Muffins

I was lucky enough to be given a fantastic recipe book called "savour" by some great friends, thank you Chris and Natheera. A bunch of us are off to Dullstroom for the weekend and what would a trip trout fishing be without something delicious to pop into your bag or...

Potato and Mushroom Bake

There are few dishes that give you that home comfort feeling like a great potato bake and this one, which I recently served with a Prime Rib Roast and Melanzanewas such a huge hit I am being forced to make it again... very soon 🙂 Just gotta love it when people enjoy...

Roast Prime Rib on the bone

I have recently moved into a new place and had a few friends over for dinner so decided a good roast was in order and what surprised me was the price of prime rib on the bone at under R60/kg. I used 1.8kg which was plenty for the 5 of us and it was so incredibly tasty...

Mediterranean Pork and Chorico dinner

This Mediterranean style stew was really fantastic and you could use any spicy sausage if you don't have chorico, even a good pork sausage would do the trick, just add a little paprika into the mix. It has plenty of sauce and the crushed grilled potatoes are the...

Spinach & Feta Muffins

These muffins are awesome! Not only can they be made in advance, but they are so versatile and light that they can be served for breakfast, lunch and supper. In fact, they are the best Sunday-night supper for all you lazy buggars (like me) who couldn't be bothered to...

Kingklip Mornay

I think this fish dish is made for mothers day, It's very tasty, easy to make and basically flop proof. It offers a hearty, warming flavour that can only be had from being home made and let's face it, Mom's, however old we get still love anything that we have made...
