Posted on March 22, 2016 by in snacks, vegetarian
Mushrooms and toasted brioche sounds awfully pretentious doesn’t it? Well, take mushrooms on toast and you can literally wake me in the middle of the night with it.

Portobello Mushrooms are the big daddy of mushrooms! Portobello mushrooms are just grown-up button mushrooms, yip, I did not know that!

Posted on January 29, 2014 by in seafood
Fried fish with a luscious green salad has always been one of my go-to meals when inspiration lacks or when I can get my hands on freshly caught fish. Fried fish also has a happy thought attached to it, because my parents who live in Hermanus often get their hands on fresh fish and then […]
