Posted on June 15, 2020 by nerinatimm in seafood
Cioppino or Seafood Soup – “an impressive crowd-pleaser” says Martha Steward. Yes, indeed Cioppino is a dish that will make jaws drop at your table. Dramatic with lots of wow elements. The color, the abundance of seafood and or course the aroma. Cioppino or Seafood Soup is a Italian-American dish that originated in San-Francisco and […]
Beer battered Trout and Chips
Posted on March 23, 2020 by nerinatimm in seafood
Beer battered Trout, you might think is unnecessarily expensive, after all what is wrong with hake or angelfish. I made the beer battered trout with only two 250 g portions and 7 people ate from it. So, yes, it is more expensive, but because the trout is so filling and so good for you, it […]
Smoked Mackerel and Potato Pie
Posted on May 22, 2019 by nerinatimm in seafood
Oh my gosh, this smoked mackerel and potato pie was so much better than I could ever have imagined. How complicated can a Smoked Mackerel and Potato Pie be to make? Complicated if you choose to make your own pastry, smoke your own fish and maybe plant your own potatoes. Luckily for me, I have […]

Posted on March 26, 2019 by nerinatimm in seafood
Poke Bowls or Poké Bowls are the new craze in my family. The kids love it and I love them for eating so healthy. There is really nothing unhealthy or bad about what’s in a poke bowl. Think of it as sushi in a bowl. Poke Bowls are not from Japanese origin as I have […]

Posted on October 23, 2018 by nerinatimm in seafood
This Smoked Mackerel Salad hit the spot tonight. No cooking in my kitchen today. We all loved this Smoked Mackerel Salad, the salty fish, the crisp lettuce, creamy avocado and the refreshing summer fruits. All I added was a yogurt dressing and a few crispy rolls and voila, dinner was served. Mackerel is somewhat underrated, […]
Salmon Pie – sheer indulgence!

Salmon Pie with chunks of lightly smoked salmon, fluffy potatoes, sour cream and peas. How can a girl be so lucky! The salmon pie is not cheap, but it can easily feed 10 people as a starter and it is a beautiful showstopper. You can even make individual pies, choice is yours. I like the […]
Tuna Sweet Potato Bakes – Banting beauties
Posted on March 31, 2017 by nerinatimm in seafood, vegetables
My Tuna Sweet Potato Bakes are so moreish that it is hard to believe they are actually good for you. The Tuna Sweet Potato Bakes are not carb-free, not by a long shot. Sweet potatoes are on the orange list for ingredients for those who are banting. So, as I understand it, it can be […]
Fried fish on lemony potato salad
Posted on October 30, 2012 by nerinatimm in seafood
You simply have to love fried fish! You live in the Cape, it goes without saying, right! Hell, yes, I do live in Cape Town and I do like fried fish, but I hate badly fried fish! I hate soggy, oily fish and I am not particularly fond of thick stodgy batter on my fish. […]
Bean Recipes – Warm Bean and Potato Salad!
Posted on November 30, 2009 by Nina Timm in seafood
Bean recipes are what I look for these days when I open a new food magazine or recipe book. “Why?” would you ask and I would say, “because we are eating more and more beans in this house and less and less red meat! Studies have shown that eating more beans, could lower your cholesterol […]
