Grilled nectarine and chicken salad with The Food Fox on RSG
Posted on January 18, 2012 by Nina Timm in Chicken, rsg
Grilled chicken and nectarine salad sounded like just the meal I would like to eat on a hot summers day here in Cape Town. The salty grilled chicken must be so perfectly balanced with the sweet, charred peaches. Frankly grilled anything always gets my attention, but this grilled chicken salad grabbed my attention and I […]
Countdown to Christmas Menu – Ice-cream in two different ways!
Posted on December 22, 2011 by Nina Timm in desserts
In our Countdown to Christmas, I could not resist adding another dessert to our already packed dessert buffet for Christmas. We already have mom’s trifle, a Festive Meringue Roulade, Christmas Pudding complete with pennies, but we almost forgot the ice cream. Fatal mistake, I know, but luckily I thought about it just in time. The […]

Ice Cream makes it all better
Posted on November 20, 2011 by Nina Timm in desserts
Ice cream makes it all better or shall I say this is what Hollywood wants me to believe, because in every love story at some stage the girl with the broken heart, would do a midnight trip to the freezer and take out a tub of ice-cream. I can’t say that I have ever done […]

This week’s blogger that will be featured on RSG on Thursday morning is the bubbly Christie-Anne Wolmarans from Johannesburg.

Posted on October 2, 2011 by Nina Timm in beef
Wraps are the latest in fast food trends here at My Easy Cooking HQ. Gone with the Happy meals, the Streetwise two’s and the pizza cravings and in with the Beef or Chicken Wraps. I suppose my children are just growing up….. Not that I mind really, after all it is a far healthier option […]

To eat a Fruity Lamb Kofta on a homemade pita in real life, you have two choices! You can either spend a fortune and travel to some exotic Mediterranean destination or you can hop down to you nearest supermarket and try to make them yourself. I would sell parts of “me” to visit some […]
Chocolate + Caramel + Bananas = Choconanas!
Posted on October 5, 2010 by Nina Timm in desserts
“Chocolate”, “Caramel” and “bananas” must be the most searched food related words on Google. Combine them in one delightful treat and you are bound to have a winner. Having a winner on Google is always a good thing, but seeing the smiles on my children’s faces when I showed them these Choconanas….well dare I say […]
Fritters have never tasted this good!
Posted on March 5, 2010 by Nina Timm in vegetarian
Fritters must be the easiest snack in the world to make. Seriously, if you can grate something( and we all can do that), then you can make fritters. When I searched for the definition of “fritters”, ended up on Wikipedia and according to them, fritters are “any kind of food coated with a batter and […]

Easy Salad Recipes are just about all I have energy for with temperatures ranging from 35-40 C here in Cape Town. The beaches are filled to capacity and the cooldrink and ice-cream sales must have escalated tremendously in the last 2 months. No one however feels like cooking and even lighting a fire to have […]
