Banting Quiches with Bacon and Blue Cheese
Posted on March 10, 2016 by in baked goods
Banting quiches are somewhat of a contradiction, I’d say! The best part of a quiche, for me, is in the buttery, cheesy crust. Yes, the filling is important too, but what gives the quiche substance, is the crust that keeps it altogether. The banting quiches that I have made so far, were disappointing, because the […]

Posted on February 26, 2015 by in vegetables, vegetarian
Squash – oh my word, I am treading on dangerous grounds when I cook squash for supper. My husband hates them and I am to blame! Squash Shame, that’s what I suffer from and I needed to redeem myself! You see, when we just got married, I was in “pleasing mode”! So one night I […]

Smokey Mushroom and Cheese Quiche
Posted on October 8, 2019 by in cheese, vegetarian
The Smokey Mushroom and Cheese Quiche is a little different to your average mushroom and cheese quiche. How?

Macaroni cheese is a comfort food, whether you are English, Italian or American. Macaroni Cheese is a British invention, I know it is disputable, because pasta after all is an Italian invention. Let’s just give credit where it is due, shall we? A casserole made with cheese and pasta,known as “makerouns” was recorded in the famous […]
Beignets with White Chocolate and Raspberry Jam
Posted on January 22, 2016 by in baked goods
Beignets are French deep-fried choux pastry. Beignet is the French term for deep fried choux pastry, but it can also be made with other dough, such as dough made with yeast. Beignets in other words, are like dougnuts or fritters or as we know it in Afrikaans “vetkoek”. Why then the fancy name? It is […]
