Waterblommetjie Kimchi

November 26, 2024November 27, 2024 ~ Tandy ~ 12 Comments

I veered far away from the traditional when I made this waterblommetjie kimchi. These flowers are only found in the Western Cape, and are harvested when conditions are ideal. This year we had so much rain this winter that the dams were still full of these pretty edible beauties well into October. I have made … Continue reading Waterblommetjie Kimchi

Chicken And Pork Meatballs

December 21, 2023November 22, 2023 ~ Tandy ~ 9 Comments

Making these chicken and pork meatballs was an absolute kinch. The hard work came in getting all the condiments together.

We have plenty of this left over … Continue reading Chicken And Pork Meatballs

Ramen Eggs

September 26, 2023August 29, 2023 ~ Tandy ~ 12 Comments

I slightly overcooked my ramen eggs but that did not detract from how tasty they were. And how perfectly they went with the meal I created. I would suggest perfecting the eggs so that the yolks are still runny, but the whites hard boiled. Head straight on to the Recipe For ♥ Ramen Eggs ♥ … Continue reading Ramen Eggs

Salt And Pepper Hake

December 6, 2022November 1, 2022 ~ Tandy ~ 13 Comments

This salt and pepper hake recipe has elements that have become firm favourites. You will have to deep fry the fish and in doing so, I used as little oil as possible. We seldom use this cooking method and in times gone by I would have filtered the oil to use again. But now I … Continue reading Salt And Pepper Hake

Herby Tartar Sauce

September 23, 2022August 17, 2022 ~ Tandy ~ 4 Comments
