It’s not everyday that I come across a really easy recipe with simple ingredients that doesn’t require a lot of editing from me. And sometimes I think I come across them – on paper they appear promising only to be let down by the flavour in the end. And that is why I am SO…
20-Minute Meals
Bacon & Basil Pesto Pasta
Try and say Bacon & Basil Pesto Pasta fast 3 times. That’s your basic brain workout for today. Now try and say it backwards. That’s your advanced brain workout for the day. It’s a pleasure. This recipe is again a 5-ingredient recipe. I am LOVING cooking with just 5-ingredients (okay we’re not counting, salt, pepper…
20-Minute Chicken Teriyaki – With Only 5 Ingredients!
I am totally hooked on 5-ingredient meals. HOOKED! After browsing through a friend’s copy of Jamie Olivers 5-ingredient meals, I was so inspired to create meals with only 5 ingredients. It just makes so much sense! This isn’t one of Jamie’s recipes but it does use some of his common combinations like teriyaki and chilli….

Easy Thai Green Chicken Curry – Make it in 20 Minutes
Guys. Guys. Oooooh guys. My website. She was down for almost 48 hours last week. I am really hoping you didn’t even notice but if you did, phew, I am SO sorry.

15 Minute Mushroom Alfredo Sauce
Following on from last week’s Creamy Smoked Salmon, Lemon and Dill Pasta which was so easy to make because, well, you just add everything to the pasta and stir through, I thought let us continue the trend! So…Tadaaaaa…..a 15 minute Mushroom Alfredo Pasta Sauce. It is a girlie dish I will admit. This means there…
20-Minute Leek and Potato Soup
I’m not getting out of bed today. It’s cold and misty and raining in Durban and I have absolutely nothing else to do today besides drink tea, page through magazines whilst toasting my toes next to the fire and writing a blog post and then possibly going for a little nap. Hah hah. I WISH….
