Suikerbossie Guest Farm Meander - A Review
I have friend who knows the lyrics to all the 60’s and 70’s songs and she has the gift of being able to belt out the songs at the drop of a hat. So you say “submarine” and she’ll take that as her cue to sing. She does it anywhere and everywhere. That’s probably given my next sentence...
Authentic Seafood Paella Recipe
A Spanish Paella packed with punch, traditional spices and ingredients. A conversation piece that looks more complicated than it is and tastes sensational In a previous life I was a caterer and this Paella recipe was a firm favourite with clients. It is fool-proof, easy and takes center stage...

Tuesdays and Fridays are for no ordinary fish – Fish Recipes

Fashionable Food for Fabulous Fridays - Recipes for the weekend
Those are some of my favourite F words; fortunately, it was a good week, so I have no desire to stab someone with a cake fork. To celebrate the weekend, there’s nothing better than having fab food lined up, which won't keep you in the kitchen for hours. Try these when serving sundowners or...
