One of the things we’ve always wanted to make is cornbread. We hadn’t tasted cornbread until we were adults and it’s always seemed so exotic, part of another world – away from the white fluffy English sandwich loaves and croissants of our childhood and the buttery, charred naans and soft khubz of our teenage years. … Continue reading
So we’re a big fan of easy, quick meals because firstly when hunger kicks in, it’s really hard to think of anything other than “I’m hungry I’m hungry” and secondly we don’t always have the time. However, the greatest thing about weekends is being able to take the time over a cooked breakfast and be … Continue reading
So we were in New York last week and were determined to go to Brooklyn as we heard that it’s not just a hipster paradise but also the source of many interesting food trends. Unfortunately we picked the hottest day of our week to visit! As we traipsed around Williamsburg, exhausted by the heat and … Continue reading
We’re sorry. This is so unnecessary. We gave you a beautiful recipe for Rose Ice Cream just the other week and here we are, ruining your summer beach diet all over again. In our defence, this ice cream is TOTALLY different. Okay, it’s still ice cream. It’s still super easy. But where the Rose Ice … Continue reading
We’re off to New York soon, which is one of our favourite cities in the world! It has such a buzz about it and from a foodie perspective, it’s super exciting.

One of the things we love about weekend mornings is being able to cook a nice hot breakfast and really take the time to eat it with a strong cup of tea before heading to the gym or getting on with our day. Unfortunately, this has become a bit of luxury and if you’re like … Continue reading
Isn’t it a lovely day for a picnic? How many times a year can you say that? When we think of picnics, we think of blue skies, slightly damp grass, scratchy rugs, Scotch eggs, baguettes, pate, someone’s homemade pasta salad, sausage rolls, mini rolls, little sandwiches, warm wine, trio of dip selection from Sainsburys (cheese … Continue reading
Our fridge wouldn’t be our fridge without a bottle of Amarula in it. (Or Frank’s hot sauce, but that’s another post entirely.) Growing up in South Africa, we were sometimes allowed little sips of it here and there – it was the only alcohol we liked, because it was so sweet and creamy. Mmmm. It’s … Continue reading
Did you know that Whole Foods has a magical machine that takes ordinary shelled pistachios and turns them into creamy foodie heaven (i.e. pistachio butter)?? Yes, they really do. Ok, so we’re a bit new to this phenomenon but let us try to convert you too. Pistachio butter is creamy, a bit savoury, a bit … Continue reading
