Chicken on the menu three times a week would cause havoc in most families, especially with the dads in those families, but here in my kitchen it features very often. Chicken is just so versatile and I can twist and tweak it in so many ways that no one will even notice that they are […]

falafel

A falafel is my favorite market snack. The first thing I eat whenever I visit one of Cape Town’s many  foodmarkets, is a crunchy, golden-fried falafel. I can’t be bothered for them to put it in a pita with the usual coleslaw and yogurt dressing…… I want a plain falafel. I want to savor every […]

Posted on January 13, 2009 by in salads

When beef and mutton were on every menu for the entire holiday, it is difficult for me to wean off meat so easily. I also do not think that red meat in moderation is so bad for you, so I had to find a midway. AH!! Why not cook 1 steak instead of 4 and […]
