Using sustainably caught and locally fished hake, I made this hake curry.
Today’s inspirational recipe from Lavender and Lime ♥ Hake Curry ♥ #LavenderAndLime Share on X
This post has been sitting in my draft folder since May. Sometimes I have so many words and no recipes, but at the time of writing this recipe, it was the opposite. Life has moved in an amazing direction since May that it is a good opportunity to reflect. It is also Thanksgiving Day in America – a tradition that should be celebrated the world over as I think people everywhere have so much to be grateful for.
I am grateful for
- my loving husband who does not mind being without me while I travel to Johannesburg.
- work which means I can keep a roof over my head and food on my table.
- my family who are amazing.
- friends – both old and new.
- people I have met in real life and virtually through this blog.
- the work I am doing because of this blog.
- a home I have made with Dave, and the house we are building together.
- good health.
My list is endless but the one last thing I am grateful for is the generosity of customers who make sure Dave and I always have fresh fish.

Which reminds me I am thankful for Fish Man – he generally has hake so I can give this lovely recipe a go!

Maybe you should have written the recipe out as a hake-u?
