Inspired by my go-to takeout order. We are slowly marching through the most miserable time of the year – Winter. The trees look lifeless without their leaves to adorn them. The sun begins its descent too early each day, leaving me trudging home after work in darkness. It’s on days like these that I burrow…

Spring Onion Pancake Jerk Mushroom Wraps
People often ask me what my favourite post is: it’s officially this one. Spicy jerk mushrooms get wrapped in a soft green onion pancakes with crunchy carrots and cucumbers.
Chilli Lime Salmon Tacos with Roasted Mango Habanero Salsa
T-11 days to Cinco de Mayo! Unbeknownst to a seemingly large population of Americans that celebrate the holiday, the 5th of May commemorates victory of a small Mexican town in a battle against the French in which they were both outnumbered and inferiorly armed.

As an African, I’m choosing to celebrate unlikely victors in battles against European colonisers. Grab a margarita with me and cheers to unlikely victors with this recipe!

Happy Friday y’all! Today I bring you your latest obsession: these quesadillas. Being the only vegetarian in my household, cooking plant based meals that people actually enjoy has proven to be my toughest challenge. I’m perfectly happy eating a couscous salad but that wouldn’t please my rugby playing brother. My health conscious mother isn’t very comfortable…
Red & Green Thai Curry Pastes
As you all know by now, I have a thing for spicy food. I’ve been effortlessly eating whole chillies and immediately chugging gallons of water for the better part of my life. I always find myself mindless reaching for the chilli powder whenever I’m cooking- never salt, never pepper, always chilli. I made my first…
