If you’re visiting Cape Town looking for spots to lunch, then you need to run - no, SPRINT to @honestchocolate café!

The variety of chocolate truffles and confectionery soothe the soul in all of the “Charlie in the Chocolate Factory” dreams that you could have had as a child. The service is fantastic, and the outdoors hidden nook is perfect for boisterous laughter with friends.

I’ll probably see you there, whilst I sip on my decadent and powerful affogato ☕️

A few twists and turns before the town of Citrusdal, lies a beautifully nostalgic little tea shop. Warm food, red cappuccino’s, and smiles are abundant.

If you’re one of the lucky few able to do a West Coast roadtrip this December, then make this spot a must-see on your list. You won’t be disappointed!

Some puttanesca for the spirit after a tiresome we

Some puttanesca for the spirit after a tiresome week.

It’s hearty pastas that tend to revive my outlook on the day/week ahead, especially shared with friends. And puttanesca is actually so easy to make. A fee ingredients left in the fridge also make it fantastic for using up scraps.

Garlic, onions, anchovies, capers, olives, tomatoes, coriander leaves, terrine, salami, some spices, good olive oil; finally, the juice of a lime. There was not a scrap left afterwards. It went down sublimely with a glass of white wine. Perfect to finish the week off 🌷

Keep your eyes on my stories, for when I drop the recipe in a blog post! It takes a bit more gusto than expected, but worked out completely worth it.

This one is for the girlies that love picnics, and the besties that enjoy #rooibos 🫖

I baked this cake a while back for a surprise birthday, and it turned out beyond delicious. It’s essentially the EXACT steps of my beloved, late mother’s caramel pecan nut cake, but the exchange of pecan nuts in the caramel to an @lizemoutoncollection Strawberries & Cream rooibos syrup.

This cake is topped with the deliciously fresh, edible flowers from @woolworths_sa and a Milky Lane chocolate cream ganache, ladled over the bundt cake to pool in the middle.

Seeing as this is a family recipe, I’ll leave you to a broad collection of your own cookbooks to interpret the recipe 😉

Not the most conventional arrangement for “hot dogs”, but in this household, we go for some spicy salad on the side 👀

A crisp roll with garlic butter that’s been warmed in the oven, some bratwurst that’s been boiled & fried, paprika & chives mayo; these are all very out of the ordinary for hot dogs. But, we’ve always made a spectacle for the tastebuds when making rolls.

The salad’s recipe is simple - baby cucumbers, diced celery, rocket, watercress, broccoli, julienned apples, edamame beans, sultanas, and pumpkin seeds. In short - GREEN!

The rest of the preparations are just standard salt and peppering - so keep your eyes peeled for whenever a new little recipe drops!

Rich, spicy aromas wafted through our kitchen when we used our @instantpotsa to slow-cook our beef filet curry!

An unusual cut of meat for curry, but ever so flavoursome with our ingredients. Za’atar, cardamom, turmeric, ginger, and sweetly sautéed red onions. I had to hold myself back from dishing up the entire pot!

Visit my blog today to have a look at the recipe. It’s so good, you’ll want to make it asap!

Happy World Rhino day!

As you know, I’m a sucker for a good cause. It just so happens that this good cause, comes with the purchase of @capetowngin ‘s Black Rhino gin.

A delicately distilled renosterveld and buchu gin imbues flavour and fun into your #worldrhinoday celebrations. With each bottle sold, @capetowngin portions proceeds to the Boucher Legacy - which to me sounds like a great reason to toast!

So, clink your glass during #ginoclock today, with a drink as sippable as it is charitable.

Two Gingers Take Baking, Then The World (Record)!

Two Gingers Take Baking, Then The World (Record)!

POST-PONED TO 2024 🌷

When my dear red-headed friend and I heard about @movingthemountain2023 ‘s lineup, we simply couldn’t contain our joy.

So, to celebrate, we baked a cake! But, not just any cake. A rooibos and caramel cake, that we cheersed to over a #LaPrimavera gin and tonic, with @fitchleedesmixers Indian Tonic.

We went about this recipe as the two founders of Two Gingers do - talking, and laughing gingerly as our baking skills were put to the test. We discussed outfits to wear and how we’d react if we were to run into @spoegwolf or @jimmynevis at the Newlands Cricket Ground during the festivities of #MovingTheMountain23 👯‍♂️

Being a sincere lover of gin, all things local, and all things LEKKER, I simply cannot express my excitement enough. I’m counting the days until the 7th of October. I doubt this cake will last that long, but I’m sure it’ll stave me over until then.

To book your tickets, be sure to head to @ticketproza and book! There is a selection of ticketing options available, so don’t miss out. I’ll see you there!

Hmmm, a perfectly sunny day to go with a fresh juice.

Apple, carrot, pear, cucumber, and some warmly brewed rooibos to top it off. Let it sit and cool for quite some time.

The ingredients will carry all of the functional deliciousness that freshly juiced goodness is, with an herbal sweet kick from the rooibos. It especially helped little old me with my frustrating flu this week.

Enjoy!

Bittersweet cocoa atop Italian cappuccinos. A take

Bittersweet cocoa atop Italian cappuccinos. A takeaway limonata espresso tonic. Cornettos, porchetta; signora, i limone!

It’s simply too good to not want to go every day. @lellosdeli never hits or misses when it comes to fluffy focaccia bread, with delicately sliced porchetta (you may even find the sweetest of soft peppers for a different day).

A whole day of browsing and walking was spent well in De Waterkant, with a quick pop into @bastille_maisonmara ‘s beautiful store. Literally, I could relocate to Cape Quarter any day.

Make sure to pop into an Italian cobblestone road with plentiful boutique stores dotting the neutral, textured walles of the streets this spring when touring Cape Town. It’s a city that has cultures from across the globe, neslted neatly into buildings that hug each other way high into the blue sky.

Crumbly, almondy deliciousness with a bittersweet Italian cappuccino from the glorious @giovannisdeliworld today.

The deli is an exceptional treat to the eyes as well as the sweet tooth that beckons us all when shopping with our eyes! Bright colours and freah ingredients bring you one step closer to an ultimately delicious midday meal with assortments.

I highly recommend the pasteis de natas, too 😉

Had an itching of a craving for some rich, spicy shakshukka and pap this morning. This hot weather but strangely dystopian smog hanging over Cape Town is most likely due to everyone braaiing, but my favourite dishes were always “pap en smoor”.

So, a quite hasty snatch of ingredients for my bases whilst the pap was slowly cooking allowed for a very tasty feta-topped shakshukka with creamy pap!

All you need is some simmering olive oil, half a teaspoon of fennel seeds, half a teaspoon of freshly minced garlic, half a teaspoon of coriander, half a teaspoon of oregano, and a slight dollop of butter to add some creaminess to the base.

Once your spices are aromatic, add your canned or fresh tomatoes (with either, I recommend adding a tablespoon of brown sugar per 200 ml). Salt and pepper generously for your own taste. Add your eggs into little divets made into the tomato relish once it’s bubbling holes become more firm. Then, cook your eggs to your desired consistency.

I topped with crumbly herbed feta, but Danish would do the sourness a tremendous palate treat. Serve HOT!

Enjoy 😉

Very seasonally sweet and sour salad, with sundrie

Very seasonally sweet and sour salad, with sundried tomatoes, vinegar, blanches asparagus and baby corns. This super fresh plate of greens contains halloumi, yellow peppers. oven-baked brussel sprouts, a ton of spinach. Every ingredient has been roughly chopped, except the bed of spinach.

The most preparation this required was roasting the brussel sprouts in olive oil, flaky salt, and freshly ground black pepper. I added Parmesan to the dish and it soaked up the gooodness, which left the sprouts to be a juicy bite of springy crisp.

This lasted two days. Two! And that’s between my family, and a friend that nibbled. I definitely recommend just putting everything in your fridge together and getting creative with it. It becomes such a rewarding treat!

Vibrant, peppery, cinnamonny goodness. This pork stew was a completely experimental recipe which turned out to be a great success.

The supportive ingredients were cinnamon, black peppercorns, carrots, olive oil, and rooibos. The star of the show was the slow-braised pork that was fork-tender and decadently infused with the chai spices. The rooibos teabags contributed an earthy sweetness which elevated the entire dish to a curried stew, but with less steps. 😁

Trust the process. All of the ingredients were tossed into the oven with water covering the contents, at 180 degrees Celsius for three/four hours. Served best with quinoa or wild rice!
