Por favor for Mexican Spud Skins!

Deep fried spud skins! Come on people really? Can you think of anything more tempting than that? YES, I can! Spud skins with a Mexican Twist, in other words  smothered in Tomato salsa and topped with loads of sour cream and chillies.....See what I mean? Few things can compare, for sure!

Ming-Cheau Lin cooks on RSG

Thinking of butterfingers bring visions of eating freshly cooked mealies with butter running down my fingers so when I read about this blog called Butterfingers, the last thing on my mind was Taiwanese food, but I was pleasantly surprised. The name Butterfingers had very little to do with buttery fingers, but if you want to read more about this interesting blog name, visit Butterfingers.

Creamy Potato and Butternut Cake

When I took this Creamy Potato and Butternut Cake from the oven I had this huge happy smile on my face. I love how a meal sometimes just comes together, not quite how you planned it, but better and a whole lot tastier. I knew what I wanted, a layered potato and butternut cake, but could not find a recipe on the net, so embarked on making my own version. I had a little kitchen elf helping and maybe that was the secret....

Pineapple Chicken Burgers with Mango Salsa

These tasty Pineapple Chicken Burgers were born out of  sheer necessity....... necessity to spend as little time in the kitchen and as much time in the pool as possible. Seriously, I cannot remember when last or if I have ever been struggling with heat as much as this season. Having said that, my biological clock is ticking much faster than I would like it to so......maybe it is not the weatherman's fault at all....

The Food Fox on RSG

This Thursday just after 9 on RSG, I will be in the studio with Ilse van der Merwe from the blog, The Food Fox. We will be making a delicious summer salad. Perfect for the scorchers we have been having here in Cape Town. Reading through her blog is such a pleasure, I sense her deep, sincere love affair with food and can relate to that so I cannot wait to meet her in person.

Mini Ricotta Cheesecakes with Raspberries

I developed this recipe for these Mini Ricotta Cheesecakes while racking my brain for dessert recipes that are slightly less harmful to the waistline as the ones we have been having over the festive season. Let's face it, my Meringue Roulade with cream and raspberries would hardly be seen on the front cover of Weight Watchers nor will you find my ice cream recipes anywhere near a health magazine and although they were delicious at the time, now is the time to pull the belt a little tighter and eat a little lighter, both on sugar and fat!
