Sweet Potato Soup Made With Vegetable Stock

Oct 8, 2015Sep 9, 2021 ~ Tandy ~ 42 Comments

For years all I have wanted is a garden with an abundance of vegetables. This has happened in fits and starts, with no real plan taking place. It is not for lack of wanting, but more about lack of effort. But this year, I have promised myself that 2015 will end with the plan well … Continue reading Sweet Potato Soup Made With Vegetable Stock

I was recently asked to contribute to a magazine for a senior research project and give a story around a Nostalgic Food Memory.  This recipe for a béarnaise sauce is quite nostalgic for me. Béarnaise sauce is my mother's favourite and it reminds me of her father. Here is my contribution: When it comes to food, my … Continue reading Béarnaise Sauce | Nostalgic Food Memory

Biryani Chicken

Nov 8, 2012Oct 10, 2022 ~ Tandy ~ 31 Comments

Biryani chicken is an Indian dish that has its origins among the Muslims population. We are very fortunate to have a chicken farm close to where we live. The chickens are free range and taste amazing. I have lived in Gordons Bay for a long time now, but only recently found out that I can … Continue reading Biryani Chicken

Cindy’s Crayfish Curry With Coconut Cream

Oct 20, 2011Sep 20, 2021 ~ Tandy ~ 25 Comments

Cindy's Crayfish Curry I just love mystery ingredients! I think I would do well in a mystery box challenge (which gives me an idea...) but, back to the challenge Cindy gave me. She gifted me these three mystery ingredients and so I made Cindy's Crayfish Curry. Kefir lime leaves are unique in flavour and if you … Continue reading Cindy’s Crayfish Curry With Coconut Cream

Dave and I went to @kenforrestervineyards to do a Chenin tasting. We have been drinking their wines for years but this was our first visit to the estate. Do not arrive an hour before they close and expect to do a tasting. It's just not possible. And do expect to pay for your tasting even if you buy wine. #cheninblanc #chenin #buysouthafricanwine #drinksouthafricanwine #buylocal #wine #winetasting #jobssaveslives #IHearYou #ISeeYou #HowCanIHelp #LavenderAndLime
Our first visit to @senoronion saw me devour my supper! This was a super generous portion and we will be back for more #mexican delights #eatlocal #eatout #visitsouthafrica #somersetwest #supper #jobssaveslives #IHearYou #ISeeYou #HowCanIHelp #LavenderAndLime
Dinner on Saturday night was at the @longtablerestaurant at @haskellvineyards. The vines are full of grapes and we walked to the lookout point before our meal. We enjoyed the seafood bisque, chicken liver parfait, garden salad, gnocchi and slow roasted lamb shoulder. All with a very refreshing chardonnay. My dessert was a total let down. Service from Eddie was excellent. And as you can see, the setting is stunning. #eatlocal #eatout #visitsouthafrica #jobssaveslives #stellenbosch #IHearYou #ISeeYou #HowCanIHelp #LavenderAndLime
