We visited the Lourensford Market last Sunday. What a great experience! There was a wide variety of food, craft beer, live music, and many market stalls to explore. The epic vintage car displays are also a must-see. Among the things I bought were 4 fresh salmon fillets for only R50 a pop. A bargain, compared … Continue reading Sweet & Sour Salmon with Veg & Linguine
Salads are my thing. I don't mean to brag but around my neck of the woods I'm kind of a salad sensei. My close friends know it's the one dish I'll always bring to a braai or offer to make for a dinner party. I love making them and I love eating them even more. … Continue reading Tuna Salad
I went to the grocery store closest to my office during my lunch break yesterday, specifically to buy fish for dinner. But to my great disappointment they don't sell fish there at all and I ended up leaving with chicken in my basket instead. Imagine my surprise when I got back to the office and … Continue reading Mackerel, Roast Cauliflower & Salad
I asked Vincent to choose a recipe from my Jamie Oliver 5 Ingredients cookbook and he opted for Quick Asian Fishcakes. However, as you may know by now, I'm not a very good recipe follower. (Sorry, Jamie!) So I just took inspiration from his use of salmon and the addition of chilli jam on top … Continue reading Salmon Fishcakes
What to do when all you've got are the end slices of a loaf of bread, some salad stuff in the fridge, a can of tuna and a rumbling tummy? Improvise!

I often find myself daydreaming about Woolworths' spinach and cauliflower noodles. As a hardcore no-carber I can honestly say nobody does carb-free noodles like Woolworths does. I'll even go a step further and say sometimes I prefer the taste and texture of these noodles to actual pasta! So off to Woolies I went to get … Continue reading Salmon on a bed of Veggie Noodles
Picture this: Soft, flaky fish cooked to perfection, drenched in lemony garlic and herb butter, scooped into your mouth along with your favourite sides, topped off with a big glass of your best wine. Now check out what I made last night and see the picture in your mind become my reality. Seriously, if anyone … Continue reading Grilled Hake with Garlic and Herb Butter
Vincent got me hooked on tuna fishcakes. It was one of the first quick meals he ever made for me when we had few other ingredient options in the fridge. They were so delicious that it changed my perception of tuna forever. I now ensure my pantry stocks at least 4 cans of tuna on … Continue reading Tasty Tuna Fishcakes & Cauli Rice
It's Monday night. I haven't gone grocery shopping since last week and I'm lazy. There aren't any leftovers except for a small container of basmati rice, but there are frozen hake fillets in the freezer and a head of broccoli in the fridge. Who's hungry? Vincent and I. That means tonight's recipe serves 2 people. Ingredients: … Continue reading Fab Frozen Hake & Humble Veg
