This deep-fried prawns recipe is one of the most popular dishes in this country. This is the first line of an email l received from my friend whom I asked to share a few recipe ideas. I am not surprised, because we have tested this recipe and the deep-friend prawns are flavorful, crisp, tender, and not as soggy as other deep-fried prawns recipes I have tried.

The secret to these perfectly crisp fried prawns lies in the beer batter that encloses the prawns in a snug-fitting surround. The beer yeast creates a leavening effect on the batter. One suggestion we have is that you prepare the beer batter well in advance, at least 1 hour. It allows the gluten in the flour to relax and the starch grains to swell, making the batter crispier. If you enjoy prawns, but you are in a bit of a hurry, then this sweet and sour prawns recipe might work well for you.

This easy shoofly pie recipe became popular with farmhouse cooks for various reasons. The pies were inherently inexpensive to bake and easier to eat as a handheld pie, meaning no knife and fork were required. The meaning of the name is not exactly clear but we know that the shoofly pies stemmed from Pennsylvania Dutch wives.Shoofly pie is also known as molasses crumb pie.

One suggestion is that the pies were named after a famous boxing mule called Shoofly. Another suggestion is that the sticky molasses that formed on the inside of the pies attracted flies, hence the name shoofly. All I know is that these shoofly pies are very popular with kids and everyone else enjoys them. They are quick and easy to make, taste great, and are a good way for home bakers to increase their incomes.

This shortcrust pastry recipe is everything you need to make the perfect apple pie crust and topping. It is also the perfect pastry for this pecan pie recipe, and blueberry pie recipe. Many people have asked us how to make shortcrust pastry so we decided to publish an easy recipe to show people the steps.

There are apple pie recipes that call for lard pastry, using lard as an alternative for butter. The advantage of using Lard is it produces an extremely crisp, flaky crust. It's also easy to work with, as its melting point is higher than butter, so it doesn't soften as quickly while you handle it, or threaten to dissolve into the flour as quickly as butter before baking.

Shortcrust pastry is perfect for making pies because it has a much closer crumb structure, it can be used to construct robust cases and exteriors for pies and tarts, and can stand up to both wet and dry fillings.

If you have a good shortcrust pastry recipe then please share it on this page and tell us everything about your recipe. You can also tag us on our Facebook page where we can share food and cooking ideas together.

This melktert recipe is one of South Africa's most traditional sweet pie recipes. Melktert or milk tart, as with this classic Amarula Dom Pedro recipe, is one of the most copied creations in South Africa's culinary history and is famous worldwide. Melktert originated in the Cape of Good Hope and the sweet and cinnamon flavours were introduced by the Cape Malay people.

Melktert is traditionally served with tea or as a dessert. It is quick and easy to prepare and a great way to round a full-course meal off. One can be certain that most families in South Africa will have a unique copy of a melktert recipe in the collection of their favourite recipes. It is unlikely to visit friends or family without being offered a slice of melktert. It is a well-celebrated tradition and many great stories are shared while sitting around and sharing melktert together.

Dom Pedro is one of the most copied creations in South Africa's culinary history and is famous worldwide. Another famous copied creation is this classic melktert recipe.

Dom Pedro is also known as the adult milkshake and there is no difference between a Dom Pedro and a Don Pedro. Dom means clergymen and Don means mister. Dom Pedro is traditionally made with Whiskey, but we decided to pay tribute to the heritage of the South African Amarula and use it instead of Whiskey. Amarula is a cream liqueur and it blends well with the ice cream, creating a delicious creamy surprise.

This traditional koeksisters recipe has been in our family for many decades. I can still see my granny baking koeksisters and my mom followed the same traditions. I can only guess how old this koeksister recipe really is. A koeksister is a traditional South African confectionery of fried dough infused with syrup. I always describe koeksisters as plaited doughnuts that are deep-fried and infused in syrup.

The Cape Malay version of a koeksister is called a koesister, with the only difference in the shape of the koeksister. Koeksisters are traditionally served at bazaars and other social events. The syrup used in the recipe is homemade and unlike maple syrup or golden syrup has a hint of ginger and cinnamon. These are two spices that are well known in traditional Afrikaner confectionaries.

There are many different versions of koeksister recipes available. If you have a good koeksister recipe, please share it on this page where you can tell us everything about your recipe. You can also tag us on our Facebook page where we can share food and cooking ideas together.

Thank you and happy koeksister cooking.

This quick and easy vetkoek recipe will make you feel right at home in South Africa. Vetkoek is a traditional South African fried dough bread, also known as Amagwinya by the locals. Elsewhere in the world vetkoek can be related to the Caribbean Johnny cake or the Mexican sopaipillas or yet, the American donut. It is my personal belief that we adopted vetkoek from the Dutch oliebol (oil ball).

Vetkoek is popular and a few television shows, like vetkoek paleis, have been created around the idea of a vetkoek restaurant. Some people also use the work vetkoek as a nickname for a plump person. In this case, you might hear the word vetkoek being used in a phrase like this: Ag my vetkoekie.

All basic vetkoek recipes are the same with the biggest difference coming in the form of the filling. Curried mince is a very popular vetkoek filling, whereas some people prefer eating it plain. If you have a good vetkoek recipe then please share it on this page and tell us everything about your recipe. You can also tag us on our Facebook page where we can share food and cooking ideas together.

Thank you and happy vetkoek cooking.

This mussel pilaf recipe is one of my favourite West Coast recipes. One of the best activities we share as a family is picking mussels off the rocks during our long strolls on the beach. The kids love it and always comment on the size of the mussels growing in the area.

Pilaf or pilau is a rice dish whose recipe usually involves cooking in stock or broth, adding spices, and other ingredients such as vegetables or seafood. It is not the same as paella, because in the mussel pilaf recipe there is only one seafood ingredient, mussels. Mussel pilaf is what we call a one-dish winner,  you only need one frying pan and a few ingredients.

If pilaf or pilau is not your thing then you can always have a look at our very popular mussels in white whine sauce, and mussels in garlic sauce recipes

There is so much you can do with mussels. If you have a good mussel recipe, please share your recipe on this page and tell us everything about your recipe. You can also tag us on our Facebook page where we can share food and cooking ideas together.

This perlemoen coquille recipe is the first seafood dish we make when we visit the Cape Whale Coast. This beautiful coastal area is renowned for its unique shellfish varieties of which the most famous are perlemoen (abalone), and alikreukel (periwinkle). The Afrikaans word perlemoen is derived from the dutch meaning mother-of-pearl.

The recipe name perlemoen coquille sounds fancy, but in a nutshell, the word coquille simply means a seafood dish cooked in its own shell or container., like a ramekin. This recipe is easy to prepare and if you are familiar with the area and its beautiful people you will know, there is nothing too fancy about it.

There are many ways to prepare perlemoen but this is the most enjoyable dish for me. If you have a good perlemoen recipe please share your recipe on this page and tell us everything about your recipe. You can also tag us on our Facebook page where we can share food and cooking ideas together.

This easy chicken cordon bleu recipe is my father-in-law's favourite dish when they visit our home. He always asks us to prepare this meal for them during their visits. It has become a tradition to serve cordon blue during all family visits to our home and everyone loves it, including my little niece.

Cordon bleu is a dish of veal, pork, or chicken, breaded and wrapped around ham and cheese filling and pan-fried to golden deliciousness. The phrase cordon blee means the highest class or standard of quality in cooking. It is interesting that a simple meal like cordon bleu is referred to as the highest quality in cooking. The phrase should not be confused with the cordon-bleu pet bird, which in my opinion should not be eaten.

We chose Gruyère cheese for the filling. It is a hard swiss cheese, ideal for melting. Jarlsberg or Emmental shouild also work well.

Thank you and happy cordon bleu cooking.

This quick and easy sosatie recipe is the perfect braai companion. It is an old-fashioned sosatie recipe that has been part of our family for many generations. A sosatie is essentially a kebab and is made up of mutton and dried apricots on a skewer. The sosatie marinade consists of a sweet curry spice blend. Everybody I know loves sosaties.

Sosaties are often served during a social braai event. A braai is a barbeque where we cook meat over open coals. Young boys in South Africa learn to braai from a very young age. I remember well, the first time I braaied solo was at the tender age of 9 years old. I was not allowed to make the fire, but I was allowed to braai the meat.

This was also the first time I met sosaties and could never forget the great taste. Every family in South Africa has their unique version of sosaties recipe. The sosatie recipe we publish on this page comes from my family's cookbook, but we adopted a few ingredients from the sosatie recipe from my wife's family cookbook.

We are eager to hear what you think of this sosatiie recipe. If you have a good sosatie recipe, please share your recipe on this page and tell us everything about your recipe. You can also tag us on our Facebook page to share your food and cooking ideas with us.

This Amarula cheesecake recipe has been in our family for many years. My mother used to prepare this recipe whenever we received International guests. Everyone I know loves this delicious cheesecake dish. It is quick and easy to prepare, tastes good, and looks amazing. A feast for all the culinary senses.

Amarula cheesecake is prepared from classic cheesecake ingredients, with the prime ingredient being Amarula liqueur. Amarula is a cream liqueur from South Africa. It is made with sugar, cream and the fruit of the African marula tree which is also locally called the Elephant tree or the Marriage Tree.

This quick and easy air fryer french fries recipe is our contribution to a collection of air fryer recipes.

We have a very popular air fryer pork spare ribs recipe on our website and are planning to add a few more.

This air fryer french fries recipe is one of them. In my personal opinion, there is not much you can do with an air fryer. We mostly use our air fryer to grill fish and defrost croissants. Now and again we will do something different and when we do, we will list the recipe on our website.

This ostrich steaks in cream sauce recipe is one of my favourite recipes. Not only does it taste good, but it is also easy to prepare and surprisingly tasty. The ostrich meat works really well with the cream sauce where the flavours marry in harmony. But you can also use any venison meat. The ostrich steak I have used in this recipe is ostrich fillet, but ostrich rump will also work well.

When people describe the taste of ostrich meat, they tend to use the words rich and earthy. For the same reasons we personally selected ingredients that match the rich and earthy taste. Red wine, mushrooms, cream, and herbs all work well and complement the ostrich meat as few ingredients can. You should notice it in the taste and many people have told me that this is a surprisingly tasty ostrich steak recipe.

We have used a good quality Pinot Noir as the red wine for the cream sauce, but Cabernet sauvignon will also do. Pinot Noir's natural acidity and bright, red berry fruit will complement your ostrich steak recipe.

If you have a good ostrich or venison recipe, please tell us everything about your recipe on this page. We would like to know what you think of this ostrich seak recipe. You can also tag us on our Facebook page and share ideas about your favourite recipes.

Our Juicy, tender, off the bone prime rib recipe, was developed by a chef to make it easy for home cooks to try this recipe in their own kitchens. Prime rib is one of the best beef cuts. There are two versions of prime rib you can try at home. The bone-in prime rib roast is also called the standing rib roast. The boneless rib roast is simply called a prime rib roast.

Whichever cut you choose is up to you. Both versions taste delicious, but we lean slightly towards the bone-in prime rib coast for our personal preferences. Simply because of how easy it is to position the rib roast on its rib bones in the roasting pan.

We also use very basic ingredients in our prime-rib roast recipe. The secret to the great taste in our recipe lies in the gravy. Something a little extra we added to enhance the taste of the already delicious prime rib.

This cornish hen recipe has good memories. I remember becoming close friends with an English couple who moved to our town temporarily for business. I met them in a local pub, a place where you meet good people. The type of people they are.

They owned an estate and started a tradition we still follow, called open Sunday. Good music, food, and people. This is also the place where I first met this cornish hen recipe, prepared to perfection, fall off the bone tender chicken.

It is not hard to find small chickens in our town, the same as cornish hens, also known as Indian game. We often prepare this cornish hen recipe for our other English friends, and they love it. I also consider this cornish hen recipe as a healthier option than grilled chicken. Cornish hens have a lower fat content than chickens and are very lean. This means that Cornish hen meat is lower in calories than chicken.

This quick and easy basic baked ziti recipe is the perfect mid-week no-fuss companion. This recipe freezes really well and is ideal to heat up during evenings where time is short.

There are many variations of baked ziti floating around on the Internet and recipe books and other forms of print. This is a basic baked ziti recipe, but you can adjust it to your liking, using either sausage or ground beef, or other types of cheese.

This recipe is a big hit and very popular on social media. If you are new to baked ziti, we recommend you try this one first, then later play around and try different variations of meat and other ingredients.

Large pumpkins were one of the vegetables produced on the farm and the farm also had a dairy, making it a suitable environment to bake pumpkin cheesecakes.

I decided to develop an easy bruschetta recipe as a token of saying farewell to three close friends. These friends all signed out of their current roles at the company I work for and decided to explore new ventures.

I was on a teams call with the organizer when I was asked for suggestions of what to prepare at the farewell ceremony. I immediately suggested bruschetta because it is ideal as a finger good and easy to prepare. It was agreed and I jumped into developing a good, quick, and easy bruschetta recipe.

Choosing the ingredients was made simple after sending out an email to ask if any of the attendees had any specific dietary requirements. I had a list to work with and decided on a meatless solution. Most of what I needed we already had in our vegetable and herb garden.

I picked a few tomatoes, basil leaves, onions (shallots) from our garden and everything else I need were in the kitchen. A few attempts later saw this bruschetta recipe rise to fame. It was the most popular item on the buffet table and everyone who attended asked me for the recipe.

This apple cake recipe dates back so far no one in our family knows where it originally came from. The first written apple pie recipe dates back to 1381 in England. We love history because we know that people always return to the classics.

Every now and again a new diet trend sticks its head out. People then start using different ingredients to adopt classic recipes to match that of the new diets. These trends seldom last. People tend to always go back to the originals. We have analytics that proves this.

This apple cake recipe is a testimony to the fact that people always return to what they know. Most famous and classic recipes happen by chance, as most good things do. These are the thing people remember, not the names of fancy diets.

I wish I knew where this apple cake recipe came from and I burn to know the history and how it landed in the hands of the female members of my generation. The only thing I know is that this apple pie recipe has been in our family for over a centennial.

This apple crumble recipe is a winner in many countries. There are only a handful of recipes that perform the same in different countries and this apple crumble recipe is one of them. When people search for apple crumble recipe uk, or apple crumbles recipe, or even apple pie recipe, it performs equally well in the UK, New Zealand, US, Germany, and South Africa.

In essence, apple crumble is a dessert that can be prepared in a sweet and savory version. This apple crumble recipe makes use of ingredients to focus on the sweet variety, but a great balance of sweet, not too sweet, just right.

I first learned about apple crumble from my great grandfather. He was a brave man who became involved in two world wars but shared many stories about the second world war. It was during his time in the second world war that he first encountered an apple crumble. He told me that due to the rationing of ingredients for pastry, the crumble was made as an alternative to the pastry. That is where the name apple crumble came from, and not apple pie, as they used to prepare it.

So, naturally, my grandmother found an original apple crumble recipe through my grandfather and shared it with me. We still use the same recipe to this day and I am happy to share and publish this apple crumble recipe on our website.

I am sure you will enjoy this easy apple crumble recipe as much as we do. Please '#shareyourthoughts'>tell us what you think of this recipe. You can also take a snapshot and tag us on Instagram @cookingcatdotcom.

This homemade pepperoni pizza recipe is one of the most popular recipes on our website. We believe it is the simple things that count and we keep things plain and simple.

There is no secret to this homemade pepperoni pizza recipe. The pizza tastes great simply because we keep the ingredients to the basics. Pepperoni in itself is one of the best-tasting sausages available. Pepperoni is an American variety of spicy salami made from cured pork and beef seasoned with paprika or other chili pepper.

Thinly sliced pepperoni is one of the most popular pizza toppings in American pizzas and understandably so. Pepperoni is characteristically soft, slightly smoky, and by far our favorite pizza topping.

This pepperoni pizza recipe is perfect for days when you have friends or family over and run out of ideas for something to prepare. It is a great ice breaker and can be enjoyed by young and old. Children are particularly fond of our pepperoni pizza.

There are many pepperoni pizza recipe ideas floating around, I believe the reason why our recipe works so well is because we stick to only the basics, mozarella cheese, garlic, and thinly sliced pepperoni. There are others who try and be fancy. Pepperoni is too delicious to be spoiled by other flavors. Keep it simple.

If you are looking for the perfect pizza base for your pepperoni pizza then please have a look at our homemade pizza recipe.

This homemade pizza recipe is perfect for any home cook. Preparing homemade pizza is a fun exercise that can be enjoyed by the whole family. When my niece visits, she always asks us to make pizzas and she enjoys helping us prepare and kneed the dough. It makes for great memories. The secret for the perfect, crispy pizza base lies in the flour and we use semolina flour in our recipe. Semolina is aslo known as pasta flour because it is the best flour to use for making pasta and pizza bases.

Many people claim they make the best homemade pizza. Our homemade pizza recipe is simple and very basic. We believe the secret to a great-tasting pizza lies in the ingredients in the topping, where the base plays a primary purpose in keeping everything together.

Two of our friends own a pizza joint and they sell the best tasting pizzas in town. They use exactly the same base as we use in our homemade pizza recipe and believe me when I say, the town loves their pizzas.

Another great thing about this homemade pizza recipe is how quick and easy it is to prepare. There is nothing fancy about it, we stick to the basics, something that always works in food, and the ingredients we use should be something that is available in the kitchens of most homes.

I created this sweet and sour prawn curry recipe to match a prawn curry we ate during a visit to a famous seafood restaurant recently. It was listed as a new menu item and I had to try it. We decided to try it as a starter, but because it tasted so good, we changed our minds and also enjoyed the prawn curry as a main course.

It was hard to get the taste out of my mind and upon returning home, I made a note to try a homemade sweet and sour prawn curry. The next day I set to work and played around with a concept. The memory and taste of the previous day's prawn curry were still fresh in my mouth and mind and I knew what I had to do.

Half a day later, this sweet and sour prawn curry recipe was born. I invited a few friends and family members over and unknowingly they acted as my taste experience testers. The feedback was overwhelming and everyone asked for the recipe. I told them that I would share it on my social platforms as soon as it is ready and let them know. So here it is. Some of them even responded with comments and a good rating.

This jalfrezi curry recipe is the perfect rainy day companion. We will traditionally enjoy pancakes on a day like this, but because we have a family event planned for the day, we decided to go for something more appealing, and jalfrezi curry came to the call.

Jalfrezi is a curry dish originating in Bengal and extremely popular throughout the Indian subcontinent and beyond. Bengal is also popular for its wild cats and tigers, quite fitting if you consider our name is The Cooking Cat. Most probably the reason why we enjoy this jalfrezi dish so much.

Most jalfrezi recipes call for jalfrezi paste, an ingredient that is not easy to come by in countries outside the Indian subcontinent. For this reason, we developed a unique and easy jalfrezi recipe, bypassing jalfrezi paste, but tastes just as good as the original, or in my personal opinion, a bit better.

This of it as an homemade jalfrezi paste

We are happy you are here and hope you will enjoy this jalfrezi recipe. If you do, please tell us what you think. You can also take a snapshot and tag us on Instagram @cookingcatdotcom

This sea bass with peanut sauce has an interesting story. It is said the best things happen by chance and I am a firm believer in that statement. We were approached by a regular client and they were in search of a good sea bass recipe, and they needed it fast.

We had to do with what we had, seeing it was a public holiday and most shops were closed. I already had a Chilean sea bass recipe on the cards, but they were not interested in that. They needed something ultimately unique, quick, easy, and something different. Spicy, nutty, and earthy was the call.

Naturally, my head was spinning and my first instinct was to take stock. I had peanut butter, coconut milk, spicy spices, and enough sea bass to feed a big family. A new recipe called sea bass with peanut sauce was born and the results were overwhelming. My wife enjoyed it to a degree that I regularly use the spices as variations for other recipes.

Now we are happy you are here and we hope you will enjoy our sea bass with peanut sauce recipe as much as everyone else did. Please let us know what you think of this recipe. you can also take a snapshot and tag us on Instagram @cookingcatdotcom

We decided to launch an easy fudge recipe with a condensed milk competition on our Facebook page. The feedback and submissions were overwhelming and we ended up with just short of a thousand fudge recipes.

It was difficult to choose a winner and in the end, we shared the prize, a set of Masterchef pots, with the top three entries. There were two ingredients that were common in most of the fudge recipe with condensed milk entries, and they were condensed milk and brown sugar.

We excluded all the recipes containing granulated sugar because it affects the texture of the fudge. That left us with many more fudge recipes to work through and we set off on a tasting spree. We used anybody we knew and met in public places as our test subjects and ended up with three recipes. In the end, the only difference between the top three fudge recipe with condensed milk entries were the quantities of the ingredients.

The final criteria we used to decide on the nominated fudge recipe was the texture. For this, we enlisted the services of a world-renowned food photographer. She took a hard look at the three different sets of fudges laid before her and decided on one, this one we are publishing and the one you are reading right now.

Finally, we are happy with the results and would like to know what you think of this fudge recipe. You can also take a snapshot of your version of this fudge recipe with condensed milk and tag us on Instagram @cookingcatdotcom

This quick and easy eggnog recipe is a cinch to prepare. I was baffled when a food editor from a magazine approached me to design an eggnog recipe. But after trying and testing so many different variations of this eggnog recipe, I soon discovered for myself why eggnog is so popular.

This jalapeno poppers recipe is at the top of our list of party foods. It is unimaginable to host a party without tasty jalapeno poppers on the menu of finger foods. Jalapeno poppers are super tasty and the perfect aperitif. We have a habit of using jalapeno poppers as an ice breaker at home parties. They help to get strangers acquainted in no time.

We have tried a variety of jalapeno poppers recipes and take notes of the jalapeno poppers we see in restaurants and other home parties. We always stick to the basics and prefer this nothing fancy version of jalapeno poppers. They are super simple to prepare and one of the first platters to return empty.

Besides serving as a party snack, jalapenos are also healthy. Jalapeños are rich in vitamins A and C and potassium. They also have carotene an antioxidant that may help fight damage to your cells, as well as folate, vitamin K, and B vitamins. Many of their health benefits come from a compound called capsaicin.

My wife and I are active runners. The summers get really hot and I have found that eating jalapenos reduce the cramps we get from running. It has to do with the high levels of potassium in Jalapeno peppers. Potassium is the main mineral known for cramp prevention.

This homemade falafel recipe brings back good memories. I remember working as a waiter at the time when I finished my studies. Although I loved the restaurant I worked at, there was a restaurant I even loved better, called Mivami.

It was situated in the heart of the busy Sandton metropolis and served Mediterranean and middle eastern style dishes, but best of all, was the falafel on the menu. Never have I thought that the direction I was studying for and meeting the love of my life, would lead me to this webpage. My own popular homemade falafel recipe.

Even more peculiar is the nickname I gave to my wife along the way, chickpea. She loves the nickname and because she is a chef, I guess it is quite fitting. My darling wife has helped me in every way to perfect this easy homemade falafel recipe and turn it into the popular recipe it has become.

This falafel recipe has featured in a few different glam and food magazines, on TV, as well as this popular website, called The Cooking Cat. I will not go as far as to call this falafel recipe our flagship of recipes, but it is really popular, all over the world.

This homemade tahini is called for in our falafel recipe. While I was searching for a tahini substitute the suggestions I found became pretty confusing and I ended up experimenting with homemade tahini instead of the store-bought version.

If a recipe calls for tahini it is because it is a must and should and can not be substituted with anything else. Some recipes actually recommend using peanut butter, cashew and almond butter, sunflower seed butter, and even more bizarrely, greek yogurt.

The bottom line is, do not follow this route and settle for anything less than pure tahini. Homemade tahini is super simple and quick to prepare. All you need is sesame seeds, sesame oil, or Canola oil, and a food processor. It is also super easy to adjust your homemade tahini recipe to achieve the perfect quantities for the perfect easy homemade falafel recipe you are using.

Good homemade quality tahini is a treat for the tastebuds, boasting a subtly sweet and nutty flavor with a well-balanced taste of bitterness on the finish. There is nothing that can replace the taste sensation of pure homemade tahini.

We are pleased about your visit to this homemade tahini recipe page and burn to know who you are. Please tell us a little more about yourself and why you are trying our homemade tahini recipe. You can also tag us on Instagram @cookingcatdotcom.

Thanks and happy homemade tahini cooking.

The first time I tried this flapjacks recipe with blueberries was when I returned home after an extensive travel experience. I first laid eyes on these delicious flapjacks in a continental hotel I stayed in during my visits to the different cities. The blueberry flapjacks were listed as a breakfast menu item on the hotel menu.

I returned home on an early Saturday morning and stopped at the supermarket to pick up flowers for my girlfriend as well as a box of chocolates. The flour range was next to the chocolates in the aisle and my eye caught a glimpse of the ready-mix flapjacks flour packet.

Being a home cook I naturally ignored the flour mix and bought a packet of all-purpose flour instead, as well as a punnet of fresh mixed berries, containing an assortment of blueberries and other berries. I decided to surprise my girlfriend with a homemade flapjacks recipe.

The rest is history as they say. The flapjacks turned out to be so good my then-girlfriend insisted to get married. That is the effect this flapjacks recipe had on her. It soon became a tradition and we had the flapjacks every time I returned from a business trip. I always looked forward to returning home to my girlfriend and the homemade flapjcaks. This flapjacks recipe is so easy, even she could make it in her pyjamas.

We are happy you are here and hope you enjoy this flapjacks recipe. If you did, please let us know what you think. You can also take a snapshot and tag us on Instagram @cookingcatdotcom

When a reader approached me for a good shrimp pasta recipe, I was a bit taken aback. I thought to myself, there are so many pasta recipes, not another one. I was pleasantly surprised to learn they need this shrimp pasta recipe for a food column in a magazine.

At that point, I realized it could mean good publicity to our food blog, and the recipe will have to be good. So, I set all other tasks I was working on aside and concentrated on developing this prawn pasta recipe. It took many attempts to get the balance right. They were looking for something between the Mediterranean and smelling the fragrance of the ocean.

After I presented three test variations of this recipe to my reader's panel of expert tasters, they informed me this shrimp pasta recipe is by far the best and most popular. Months later I also learned that this seafood pasta recipe was a huge success with their readers. The feedback was good.

As far as the white wine goes in this shrimp pasta recipe, you cannot go wrong with Sauvignon Blanc. Arguably the most versatile wine for marinades, seafood dishes, and veggies, this white's pronounced acidity and herbal notes are sure to add depth and zest to everything from stews to Italian dishes. Pinot Grigio also works well with this Mediterranean seafood pasta dish.

We are happy you are here and hope you will enjoy this shrimp pasta recipe. If you do, please tell us what you think. You can also take a snapshot and tag us on Instagram @cookingcatdotcom

I developed this easy beef birria consomé recipe for one of our readers. She told us that she discovered a Mexican dish listed on the menu of a restaurant and because she could not remember the name, she wondered if we did.

After listening to her explanation I searched for the restaurant online and found an updated menu. After a while we discovered the items she referred to was called beef birria tacos. After doing a bit of research I also discovered that this beef birria consomé is actually an ingredient of the beef birria tacos recipe.

What a great combination of Mexican flavours. All in one place. It took a few attempts to perfect this beef birria consomé recipe, bit as we all know, practice makes perfect.

This birria tacos recipe was an item listed on the menu of a fantastic restaurant I visited recently. This year was packed with many eventful occasions and due to my high workload, I was unable to attend any of the social functions.

That was until my friend and colleague resigned and we attended a tex-mex style restaurant to bid him farewell. There were so many delicious items available on the menu that day, but these birria tacos caught my eye. It was a good choice because most of my peers said it looked delicious. Believe me, it was.

When I got home later that evening I searched for a birria tacos recipe. After finding a few I narrowed them down to the most common ingredients used in the birria tacos recipe. That weekend I created my own version of this recipe and had a few people over to test it out. They loved it.

We are happy you are here and hope you will enjoy this birria tacos recipe. If you do, please let us know what you think, or you can even take a snapshot and tag us on Instagram @cookingcatdotcom

I love this quick and easy microwave chocolate mug cake recipe. I remember visiting my wife at the restaurant she worked for. It was a busy day for her at work and the guest house was packed with overnight visitors.

The guest house was situated on a remote farm and quite a distance from the nearest town. The stove they used was powered by gas and the farm manager neglected to refill the gas bottles. She was faced with a dilemma and had to think off her feet. I helped her search for an easy mug cake recipe and we found this microwave chocolate mug cake recipe. She changed the ingredients to what she had available and a new tastier version of a mug cake recipe was born.

The guests totally loved the chocolate mug cake and she shared her recipe all around. I finally found it written down on a piece of paper and lodges between the pages of her favorite cookbook. Lucky me.

Another thing that I really enjoy about this microwave nug cake is that you do not need eggs to prepare it.

This classic and easy tiramisu recipe stands out as one of my top three favorite dessert recipes. I discovered tiramisu late in my life, only after marrying my chef wife, and it was love at first sight, I mean, my wife, and then the tiramisu ?

Tiramisu translated to 'lift me up' in Italian and no other words could describe this recipe any better. It comes at the right time, during the afternoon slump, after a big lunch, when you need something to lift you up.

There are many variations to this tiramisu recipe. I have tried many different servings from different restaurants and coffee shops, but nothing comes to my wife's homemade tiramisu recipe. It is true that you always go back to what works best for you.

One of the secrets of this tiramisu recipe lies in the coffee that you use when preparing this recipe. We buy our coffee in bulk from a local coffee roaster, then we grind it as we need the coffee and that is the coffee we use, A good quality coffee.

We are happy you are here and hope you will enjoy our tiramisu recipe as much as we do. Please let us know what you think of this recipe, or even better yet, take a snapshot and tag us on Instagram @cookingcatdotcom

This easy steak in red wine sauce recipe came as a surprise. As the saying goes, the best things happened unexpectedly. The same thing can be said for this steak in red wine sauce recipe.

We were faced with a small dilemma while attending our annual year-end celebrations for the company I work for. The catering company did not show up. Luckily, due to restrictions, we were not that many people who attended the celebrations.

Seeing that I was the go-to person when it came to cooking and preparing food, I had to think out of the box. There was as supermarket around the corner and we quickly ran downstairs to see what they had available. I quickly spotted a few good-looking rump steaks. I have the meat, I thought to myself and started formulating a recipe in my head.

Naturally, there was good wine present at our celebration event, and I chose the red wine as the marinade for the steaks. A red wine sauce for steak, as it is. The rest, as they say, was history, and so this steak in red wine sauce recipe was born.

I am happy to share this recipe as it turned out to be a big success. Please let us know what you think of this steak in red wine sauce recipe. You can also take a snapshot and tag us on Instagram @cookingcatdotcom

Ladies and gentlemen, allow me to entertain you with this healthy muffin recipe. After spending hours searching for a healthy muffin recipe, and not finding what I was looking for, we decided to invent our own version of this popular recipe.

This healthy muffin recipe is popular for many different reasons. Mostly, because it is very healthy, then because it tastes good, then because it has caused a craze on social media.

This recipe has also made me very popular at work. Because I work remotely, I only go into the office once a week. When I do, I always come equipped with a dozen, or more, of these healthy muffins. I share the muffins as a gift with my coworkers, as a token of my appreciation for their friendship. Now, after a while, people start asking me when I will come into the office again. I wonder why?

This easy clam chowder recipe came as a complete surprise to me. I was surprised when so many different people approached me for a good clam chowder recipe. It is not something I have eaten, or even prepared before, so I had to think off my feet

The first thing I had to do was find clams. I know where to find mussels, lobster, and many other kinds of seafood, but finding clams were new to me. After a bit of a google search and asking the right questions, the clams arrived by the courier and were delivered to my front door.

I can tell you now that clams are delicious. After trying this recipe for the first time, I was surprised at how tasty clams are and how easy they are to prepare. It took a few efforts from my side to perfect this clam chowder recipe, but in the end, I can truly say that I enjoyed it and will go out of my way to introduce people to tasty clams.

This easy moist carrot cake recipe is one of my wife's favourite baking pastimes. During her time as a chef, working at a friendly and warm guest house, her guests would rave over this carrot cake. The restaurant where she used to be head chef, served this carrot cake as a menu item during high tea, or as a dessert.

Many of the guests would order a takeaway of this carrot cake to enjoy it in the comfort of their rooms and maybe while having a good cup of tea, or a quality glass of wine. Most of the rooms were surrounded by big treas, with dining tables neatly situated in the shades of the treas. I can still see the guests sitting under the trees enjoying a slice of carrot cake.

Even years after leaving the chef industry, she still gets compliments and reminders of this carrot cake. Many of the guests were sad that she left and found a way to get in contact, only to ask for the carrot cake recipe.it is funny how one item on a restaurant menu can attract so many people. That is especially true of this carrot cake recipe.

I dedicate this easy Falooda recipe, or Faluda recipe, to my friend and colleague at work. She is a tester in our company and lives in India. Because we both love food and cooking, we always discuss our cultures and traditions. As she is amazed by our food types, so am I fond of Indian food and cooking.

Falooda is a traditional and classic Indian beverage, or milkshake, as we would call it. In most cases, it is prepared with Falooda Sev, but I have adapted the recipe slightly, to make it easier, by replacing Falooda Sev with vermicelli. I did it because vermicelli is readily available from local supermarkets, and it reduces the time to prepare the Falooda recipe.

We are happy you are here and hope you will enjoy this Falooda recipe. Please tell us what you think of this recipe, or even better yet, take a snapshot and tag us on Instagram @cookingcatdotcom

This extremely easy rose syrup recipe can be used as the base for so many drinks. It is a popular recipe to use as the base in one of my favorite drinks, Falooda, an addictive milkshake that’s very popular in Sri Lanka and India, and other parts of South Asia. That is the reason why this rose syrup is also known as Falooda syrup.

Rose syrup is one of the rare foods that appeal to all food senses, especially sight. It is a beautiful-looking syrup and it is impossible for me to find the right words to explain the look and amazing aroma of rose syrup. It is pinkish in color and smells of roses, and it tastes almost like a mixture between Turkish Delights, and ice cream.

Rose syrup is not as sweet as corn syrup or dark syrup. It has a balanced taste and is perfect for use in many cocktails and mocktails. It is freaking good!

We hope you will enjoy our rose syrup recipe and invite you to tell us what you think of this recipe. Even better yet, take a snapshot of your rose syrup or Falooda and tag us on Instagram @cookingcatdotcom

This easy melting moments biscuit recipe recipe, or butter cookies recipe, has good childhood memories. I remember when I was little. My brother and I were raised by a single mother. There were times when my mother would drop us off at my gran, where would spend most of our school holidays.

This quick and easy toffee apple recipe has great childhood memories. Toffee apples are burned into my memory in the same way as I clearly remember my first visit to the dentists. I am not sure why I couple the same memories, but I am sure they are not related in any way.

My highlight of every year was the town fare. It was a recurring event that happened during October of every year. The entrance fee was cheap, leaving enough money for spending on delights. Toffee apples were one of the delights I always looked forward to.

Years later I found a toffee apple recipe that I can use to relive the memories of the great town fare in my hometown. I am only too happy to share this recipe with other people so that they can relive the same childhood memories, or even better, earn a small income from selling toffee apples at special events.

This quick and easy Christmas pudding recipe is by far the best one we have available on our list of Christmas puddings. There are many Christmas pudding variations available, and most of them include either brandy or cherry. Not this one.

My wife calls this Christmas pudding recipe, a Christmas pudding for Millenials. I remember when we were younger and as kids we always found ourselves in different homes during Christmas. The Christmas pudding was introduced as the prime item on the Christmas menu buffet. I never liked it, because it always smelled like brandy. it is not something you can expect your kids to enjoy.

Then, later in life, I met this family who invited me to their holiday home over the festive season. As is tradition, the Christmas pudding got introduced at the end of the full course Christmas meal. I thought to myself, oh no, here we go again. I was pleasantly surprised to find a Christmas pudding so delicious, without brandy or sherry.

When my wife later started her recipe blog I tracked down the lady who prepared the Christmas pudding during those years and asked her if she would mind sharing her Christmas pudding recipe. She was too eager too. This Christmas pudding recipe is in memory of that very special lady, who played a big role in my life. I am sad to only realize that now.This Christmas pudding is moist and ideal for hiding a coin in the Christmas pudding. Finding a Christmas coin in your slice of the Christmas pudding is believed to bring good luck and especially wealth in the coming year.

I dedicate this Christmas pudding recipe to you, tannie Lettie (Auntie Lettie). Whom I always loved dearly. May this Christmas pudding shine in the hearts of the people who knew you so well.

This easy Christmas Cookies Recipe, or peanut butter blossoms recipe, creates a taste that is no other. These peanut butter blossom cookies are loved more than any other cookies, during Christmas. It is easy to understand why they simply taste delicious.

Children love peanut butter blossoms. For this reason, we share a recipe that makes enough cookies for the whole family to enjoy. There is something undeniably adoring about peanut butter blossoms, but there is more to them than looks, they are simple to make and addictively good.

I am not able to tell you why these cookies are most popular during Christmas. Maybe it has to do with a tradition that jumped out of the blue or the love the good times the cookies remind us of. We generally make the cookies all year round, but I must admit, the demand for the cookies increases twofold over Christmas time.

I remember another special occasion when we enjoyed peanut butter blossoms. My wife's sister begged my wife to make peanut butter blossoms for their wedding celebrations. And that is how the peanut butter blossoms became a tradition, or establishment, in our family.

Please let us know if you have tried our peanut butter blossoms recipe. Drop us a line or take a picture and tag us on Instagram @cookingcatdotcom

This quick and easy pumpkin fritters recipe is a legend with our family. I need more than two hands to count the times I have shared this recipe with a friend, family member, and even strangers we meet in public places. I dedicate my popularity at work to this pumpkin fritter's recipe.

Pumpkin fritters are one of those kinds of side dishes you can enjoy with almost anything. We have pumpkin fritters with roast pork, oven-roasted gammon, grilled fish, and even roast beef. We even add fritters to the Christmas buffet table every year. Cinnamon is the ingredient that makes this fritter's recipe great.

At the end of the day, cinnamon is one of the most delicious and healthiest spices on the planet. It can lower blood sugar levels, reduce heart disease risk factors, and has a plethora of other impressive health benefits.

That being said, you can eat fritters every day of the week. Why not?

We are happy you are here and hope you will enjoy this fritter's recipe. Please let us know what you think of this recipe or how you enjoy fritters?

This quick, and easy perfect oven-roasted gammon recipe is a family favorite over Christmas. Gammon is always a top priority item on our shopping list at the end of November. I have found that it is one of the best times to buy a gammon. Not sure if it is my imagination, but I think the price of gammon gets inflated the close you come to Christmas. Mostly due to the popularity of gammon, I think.

We have a few gammon recipes in our family recipe book. There is a garden gammon casserole recipe, a fruity gammon recipe, then there is this oven-roasted gammon recipe with a honey-mustard glaze, which I am sharing now. I decided to use this glazed oven-roasted gammon recipe now because it is close to Christmas.

As I said, we have several items on the menu at Christmas. This gammon recipe is one of them, then we also serve this oven-roasted pork fillet. Both recipes are juice, tender and delicious, and both go well with this apple sauce on the side. Children also love this gammon, it is one of the first things they ask for form the Christmas buffet.

Another great thing about this gammon is that you can use the leftover gammon to create a pulled pork hamburger or delicious pulled pork sandwich. Nothing gets left behind.

We say thanks to you for being here and our hope is for you to enjoy this gammon recipe. Please tell us what you think if you have tried this gammon recipe.

Thanks, happy Christmas, and happy cooking.

This quick and easy pork fillet recipe is the perfect Thanksgiving and Christmas companion. It is one of several dishes we serve on special occasions. It is the ultimate favourite on the table for the children.

For some unknown reason, they like this pork fillet more than the gammon or the oven-roasted turkey. If I could guess why this roast pork fillet recipe is so popular I would say it has to do with the taste and the meat being so tender.

We stuck to the very basic ingredients for preparing this pork fillet recipe. The secret to the great taste lies in this apple sauce recipe. The apple sauce complements the pork fille well and gives it a slightly sweeter taste. Another reason why I think children love it so much.

What also makes this roast pork fille recipe great is how quick it is to prepare. Most oven-roasted meat dishes take a while to bake or grill in the oven. This roast pork fille only bakes in the oven for about 30 minutes. Giving you enough time to prepare other meals or finish the apple sauce, or even do the roasted vegetables at the same time.

Another advantage of this pork fillet recipe is that you can use the leftover meat and create pulled pork. Excellent choice for a delicious pulled pork hamburger or sandwich

We are happy you are here and hope you will enjoy this roast pork recipe. Please tell us what you think if you have tried this recipe.

Thank you and happy cooking,

This quick and easy apple sauce recipe is the ideal roast pork companion. We love a basic roast pork recipe. Nothing fancy, only a handful of ingredients. The secret to the great taste of the recipe lies in this apple sauce.

We use cooking apples in our apple sauce recipe. A cooking apple, or culinary apple, is an apple that is used primarily for cooking, as opposed to dessert apples, which are eaten raw or used in desserts. Cooking apples are generally larger in size and have a sharp, acidy taste, as opposed to sweeter dessert apples.

Here is a list of the best apples for cooking and baking.

A food processor or blender makes it easier to purée the apple sauce. If you do not have a food processor or blender, then you can purée the apples, by rinning them through a coarse sieve.

We hope you enjoy this apple sauce recipe. if you do, please tell us what you think.

Thanks and happy cooking.

If you are a fan of chicken livers, then this quick and easy chicken liver pâté recipe is just the thing for you. Labeled as a superfood, chicken livers are packed with goodness and good for you. This chicken liver pâté is a perfect lunch, or breakfast snack, and can even be packed in with other snacks for a picnic.

Some people prefer the chicken liver pâté to the classic chicken livers recipe. My wife is one of them. She is not fond of the taste of the cooked chicken livers on bread, but she loves the taste of the chicken liver pâté, especially spread on baked bacon flavored crackers. Speaking of which, it is a good way to get your children to eat chicken livers. The benefits of chicken livers are just what children need, growing up.

The traditional chicken livers recipe is a bit spicy with peri-peri sauce added as an ingredient. That is why we created a spicy version of this chicken liver pâté recipe. If you do not like the spiciness of this chicken pâté recipe, omit the Cayenne pepper. You can also replace the Cayenne pepper with a pinch of paprika. It is a good alternative and tastes good too.

We are happy you are here and hope you enjoy this chicken liver pâté recipe. Please let us know what you think of this recipe.

Thanks, and happy cooking.

This quick and easy chicken lasagna recipe is a favorite in our home. I wish I can count the times I have made this chicken lasagna for my family. So many times, when I have run out of ideas, my husband and children will ask me 'when can we eat lasagna again?'. We are all familiar with a recurring recipe, and this is one of them.

The raindrops are settling on the kitchen windows. Two little sunbirds take cover on the window sill outside the kitchen window. Staring in as if they know what's coming. I always wonder if they know what I am doing and are eager for some scraps. Maybe it is the warmth of the kitchen they long for. The stove has been preheated and the lasagna mixture is cooking in a saucepan, waiting to be assembled.

The atmosphere in the house is warm, comfortable, quiet and as lunchtime nears, the excitement increase, the chatter becomes louder, the jokes increase, the anticipation is evident on the faces of my young children, whom I love dearly. They love this chicken lasagna recipe, and cannot wait for their share.

As for the white wine used in the chicken lasagna, we decided to go with a good quality Sauvignon Blanc. There are a myriad of great white wine choices but we tend to favor pinot grigio or sauvignon blanc. These lighter-style wines will bring out the flavor of your chicken lasagna without overwhelming it. Avoid robust and oaky white wines like chardonnay. Once the food is cooked, the oak influence may cause your dish to taste bitter.

I am certain this chicken lasagna recipe will put a smile on the faces of your friends and family, this is the reason why I am sharing this recipe with you. Please tell me what you think of this recipe. I welcome any suggestions.

Thank you, and enjoy this chicken lasagna recipe. With love.

This lentil soup recipe is what I call soul food. It is the perfect recipe to share with your friends and family on a cold rainy day. The smell of the aromas blending in the kitchen fills the house with a joyful atmosphere. We gather around the kitchen table, raising exciting subjects, enjoying a bottle of wine, while this lentil soup simmers to perfection in the soup pot.

The only time the laughter and excitement calm is when my wife gets up to stir the lentil soup and check on the cooking process. A dozen eyes follow her movements as she adjusts the seasoning of the lentil soup to perection. The excitement mounts when she announces, only half an hour to go.

I am not able to count the times we have made this lentil soup. It is a soup for any occasion but works best on special occasions. People raved about this soup on my mother-in-law's 60th birthday. It brought all the other food items on the hot tray to non-existence. Except for the homemade baked bread, spread with a thick layer of homemade butter. The lentil soup's best friend.

This lentil soup recipe is not prepared in a slow-cooker. It tastes best slow-simmered.

The only time the laughter and excitement calm is when my wife gets up to stir the bean soup and check on the cooking process. A dozen eyes follow her movements as she adjusts the seasoning of the bean soup to perection. The excitement mounts when she announces, only half an hour to go.

I am not able to count the times we have made this bean soup. It is a soup for any occasion but works best on special occasions. People raved about this soup on my mother-in-law's 60th birthday. It brought all the other food items on the hot tray to non-existence. Except for the homemade baked bread, spread with a thick layer of homemade butter. The bean soup's best friend.

You can feast away on this soup without concern for your weight. Beans are the ultimate weight-loss food. They have a perfect ratio of fiber and protein which helps you fill up without ingesting too many calories. They're also versatile, cheap, and super easy to prepare in a slow-cooker. Although this bean soup recipe is not prepared in a slow-cooker. It tastes best slow-simmered.

We are happy to share this bean soup recipe with you and invite you to tell us what you think of this recipe.

I decided to share this snoek braai recipe by telling you a quick story. There is a war raging in South Africa between the North, and the South. I am not able to tell you who started the war, but I can tell you what the war is about. Snoek and this war have been raging for centuries.

The North claim, they are the best snoek braaiers, the South, where the Snoek, actually come from, claim, they are the best Snoek braaiers. It is like watching a rugby game between the Blue Bulls, and the Stormers. Both teams are evenly supported, but both team supporters, believe their team is the best. This already leaves a bitter taste between the two sides. Now a fish, called Snoek, has also come into the equation.

The reason why I share this snoek braai recipe is that I hope it will bring peace between the North and the South. Taking a stand, on neutral territory, maybe this snoek braai recipe will become so popular, that both sides start to believe, that neither is the best snoek braaiers, this recipe is the best.

Well, this recipe does take a neutral stand. The editor comes from the north, the person who is writing this comes from the South, and the Snoek also comes from the South. The ingredients themselves come from wherever you are.

So, stand in the place where you are, and enjoy this snoek braai recipe. It comes in peace and only wants to taste good. If you like this recipe, please tell us what you think. One of the secret ingredients in this snoek braai recipe is to use of this homemade apricot jam recipe.

Thank you, and if I may quote John Lennon. 'Peace is not something you wish for; It's something you make, something you do, something you are, and something you give away.' Exactly what this Snoek braai recipe means to me.

Peace.

Words can not do this lobster tail recipe justice. It is a mouthwatering, eat as much as you can recipe. Where we live, in the west coast, there is no shortage of lobsters. We can consider ourselves very lucky. If you travel to any of the small towns on the west coast, you will find many hawkers, selling lobster, by the dozen. Many of these hawkers sell either the whole lobsters or the lobster tails. They sell the lobsters as their primary source of income.

For the most part, you need a permit to scuba dive lobster. The permits can be bought from your local post office and are available during lobster season. If you do not fancy fishing for the lobsters yourselves, there are many other ways to obtain the lobsters, just ask round.

I would like to thank my wife, Marna, for this lobster tail recipe. We have used this recipe to impress many people. It is a good icebreaker and a highly sought-after recipe. During her years as a chef, she warmed many a heart with this lobster tail recipe. Some people wrongfully call the lobster tails, crayfish tails. The difference between lobsters and crayfish lies in the fact that lobsters are marine creatures, and can be found in oceans. Whereas crayfish live in freshwaters.

There are many other ways to prepare lobster tails. Some people fry the lobster tails in garlic butter, others enjoy lobster with cajun. Through experience, we can tell you that this lobster tails in Thermidor recipe, is by far the best way to enjoy lobster tails.

There are many different ways to prepare lobster tails. Some people prefer to fry the lobster tails in garlic butter, others prefer cajun spice. From experience, we can tell you this lobster in Thermidor, works and tastes the best.

This popular, quick, and easy curry noodle salad is the perfect braai (barbecue) companion. Here in sunny South Africa, we have many different traditions when it comes to a braai. Salads in only one of them. When you get the opportunity to be invited to a braai, you will see this for yourself.

The husband is usually the person responsible for the braai. He, or she does the cooking of the meat on the grid over the hot coals. The wife is the person responsible for preparing the side dishes, of which, curry noodle salad is one. She, or he, stands in the kitchen preparing the braaibroodjies (sandwiches grilled over hot coals), as well as the curry noodle salad.

The most popular side salad for a braai is aartappelslaai (potato salad), but most people eat <a href='https://www.thecookingcat.com/recipes/beetroot-side-salad.php' target='_blank'>beetroot</a>, or this curry noodle salad on the side. This curry noodle salad is a classic traditional side salad for the braai. You should be lucky enough to encounter this salad when attending a braai (barbecue) in South Africa. It is a delicious recipe and I can dare to say that you will be tempted to return for a second, or third portion.

I say return because it works like this. When the husband, and wife, have completed their braai (barbecue) preparation duties, they normally gather around the fire, where the husband is busy showing off his braai (barbecue) skills. His skills depend on what he had to drink. If he, or she, had beer, he is a pro braaimeester (barbecue master). If he, or she, had brandy, he is a superhero braaimeester (superman braai master). If he, or she, had whiskey, there is nothing you can tell him about braaing. He knows all the tricks and can braai with his eyes closed, except, he only opens his eyes when he has a sip of his whiskey.

Okay, where were we? O yes, the husband and wife is gathering around the braai. Now, once the meat has been braaied, and the side dishes have been prepared, all the food gets transferred to a table, where everyone dishes for themselves. This way, most people can go for a second, or even third helpings, with no one else caring how much who eats.

There you have it, a bit of the background of the braai traditions in our contry. This is the country with the friendliest people on the planet, so, please do yourself a favor and visit this country, if only it is to taste the delicious curry noodle salad, and experience a braai.

Oh, and, don't come and shoot our lions, they also braai. Only joking.

We are happy you are here and we hope you enjoy our curry noodle salad recipe. Please let us know what you think if you have had the privilege of enjoying this splendid recipe.

Thanks and happy braaing, and anjou this quick and easy curry noodle salad recipe

This quick and easy cheesecake recipe has good childhood memories. When I was a little boy I used to think cheesecake was made with real cheese by people who sounded like Germans. I also thought that you had to hide cheesecake away so that mice could not get to it because the cake looked like the cheese slices you see in cartoons.

I remember it like it was yesterday. My mom and dad sitting in our favourite restaurant and ordering a slice of cheesecake for dessert. I as so disappointed when they told me what it was. Clearly, that can not be cheesecake, I never ate cheesecake until I got married to a chef, many years later.

But, after eating it for the first time, I was addicted to the taste. Everything I thought I knew about cheesecake was wrong and clearly forgotten. My wife, the chef, made all the wrongs, right.

Over 4,000 years ago in the fifth century BC, the ancient Greeks on the island of Samos created the earliest known cheesecake. This rudimentary cheesecake was made with patties of fresh cheese that were then pounded smooth with flour and honey.

Not far from wrong, the earliest cheesecakes were made with real cheese. At least this cheesecake recipe is on the right track. There are quite a few popular variations of the original cheesecake recipe. This cheesecake recipe I am sharing with you now, then there is the famous New York Cheesecake, and also a popular one, the cinnamon cheesecake.

I am not going to go into details about every variation but can tell you that I shared this plain cheesecake recipe with you because in my opinion, it is the most popular. The visitor stats prove it.

If you enjoy cheesecakes then you might also like our pumpkin cheesecake recipe. It is very popular and simply delicious.

We hope you enjoy this cheesecake recipe and invite you to share your thoughts and tell us what you think of this cheesecake recipe.

Thank you and happy cooking.

This quick, and easy salmon pasta recipe is popular. During a time, when my wife used to be a chef, this salmon pasta was one of the vegetarian items on the restaurant menu. Even the meat lovers loved this salmon pasta.

The secret to the taste lies in the combination of the cream and the white wine. As far as the white wine goes, you cannot go wrong with Sauvignon Blanc. Arguably the most versatile wine for marinades, seafood dishes, and veggies, this white's pronounced acidity and herbal notes are sure to add depth and zest to everything from stews to Italian dishes, like this salmon pasta recipe.

As for the pasta, wide flat pastas are ideal for sopping up creamy sauces. Generally, the wider the noodle, the heavier the sauce. We, therefore, decided to use tagliatelle pasta, but fettuccine or linguine works just as well.

My wife uses this recipe for any seafood pasta, salmon, tuna, prawns. We have found they all work well, but smoked salmon or plain salmon in brine tastes the best with the white wine and cream combination. It is a colourful mouthwatering salmon pasta that appeals to your tastebuds to come back for more.

We are happy you are here and we hope you enjoy this salmon pasta recipe. Please let us know what you think of this recipe, if you have tried it.

This quick and easy mussel and white wine soup is a signature dish in our home. Whenever we visit the West Coast, one of the first things we do is go mussel picking. It is a fun family event, and even the children enjoy it.

You do not have to use fresh mussels in this mussel and white wine soup recipe, you can also use frozen mussels. The taste is just as good, but it is more fun using fresh mussels you picked and cleaned yourself.

Mussels are good for you. Mussels keep your heartbeat regular, lower blood pressure, and help blood vessels work as they should. Mussels are rich in the marine Omega-3s, EPA and DHA. If you are trying to lose weight, mussels give you a lot of nutrition without a lot of calories. Prepare the mussels in a way that does not add calories

As for the white wine used in the mussel and white wine soup, we decided to go with a good quality Sauvignon Blanc. There are a myriad of great white wine choices but we tend to favor pinot grigio or sauvignon blanc. These lighter-style wines will bring out the flavor of your mussel and white wine soup without overwhelming it. Avoid robust and oaky white wines like chardonnay. Once the food is cooked, the oak influence may cause your dish to taste bitter.

Put the healthy mussels and the quality white wine together, make a soup and you have a healthy lunch or dinner treat.

We are happy you are here and we hope you enjoy our leek and potato soup recipe. Please let us know what you think if you have tried this mussel and white wine soup recipe.

This classic, traditional, and easy venison pie is well known in our family and has always been a family favourite, even amongst the children. We are fortunate to live in a country where we have an abundance of venison.

This sweet and sour chicken recipe is ideal for those who come home late after work nights. The ingredients are basic and the preparation is easy. It is a great teamwork recipe, where you can get anyone involved.

As for the starch, this recipe works well on rice, spaghetti, or rice noodles. You can also add a handful of stir fry vegetables while you shallow fry the chicken, and mix it all together to create a well-balanced sweet and sour meal. We prefer to add blanched mangetout (sugar snaps) which we have found works really well with the sweet and sour chicken.

For other variations of this recipe, you can also consider pork and prawn meat. It all tastes great.

This quick and easy tender pork spare ribs recipe has been in our family for longer than I can remember. We alter the preparation method but have found that baking the pork spare ribs in the oven has the best results. We also take turns preparing this traditional pork spareribs recipe.

The secret ingredient in this pork spareribs recipe is sherry. I own the original copy of my grandma's recipe book, in her own handwriting, and have found that many of the recipes include sherry.

Cooking with sherry can enhance the flavor of a dish.The alcohol evaporates when heated, leaving the flavor to seep into foods like stews, sauces, and meat dishes.

The marinade used for this recipe also makes the port spareribs tender

I have also noticed that many people cook spareribs first, before grilling the spareribs. There is no need to cook the spareribs first with this recipe, the secret lies in the marinade, which includes the sherry. You will be surprised at how tender the pork meat becomes, grilled, not pre-cooked.

Besides being grilled in the oven, the pork spareribs can also be barbecued, braaied, over the coals.

We hope you enjoy this pork spareribs recipe and invite you to tell us what you think of this recipe if you have tried us. We welcome any suggestions.

I cannot find the word to describe this quick and easy onion marmalade recipe. It goes well with scones, melba toast, and even as a condiment to this lamb burgers recipe. My wife says this onion marmalade goes with anything. I have even used it in marinades, as a test, and the results were surprisingly delicious.

There are many popular marmalades available and I would say orange marmalade is the most famous, but for all good reasons, I prefer this onion marmalade. it is a great companion to many dishes and tastes great. Marmelade is an acquired taste. It is something you need to get used to, like beer. It only gets better over time and with time.

What is also great about this onion marmalade recipe, is once stored in a sterilized jar, and refrigerated it can last for a year.

Most people will agree, homemade marmalade tastes better than commercial marmalades. There are few things better than tasting your own recipes and handword. You can also bottle and label this marmelade and hand it out as gifts over special occasions, like Christmas or even birthdays.

We hope you will enjoy our marmalade recipe. If you have tried our marmelade recipe, please let us know what you thought of it.

My gran used to use this traditional bread recipe to bake brown and white bread. It was so popular, kids from school used to come by her house to enjoy a slice of freshly baked bread spread with fresh farm butter.

This scones recipe is fantastic and appeals to most people I have met who have tried this scone recipe. Sconees appeaal to different people in different ways. Some people enjoy crumbly scones, some people enjoy moist scones. When done well, scones should err more on the moist side, not dry at all.

This ostrich fillet with feta sauce recipe is our traditional family Valentine's Day Meal. The recipe is easy to prepare and we alter turns to make it. The secret ingredient for this ostrich fillet recipe is the feta sauce. I cannot find the words to describe the taste and flavours it brings to the ostrich fillet. The only word I can think of is delicious.

We use plain feta cheese in our ostrich fillet with feta sauce recipe but have also tried flavoured feta cheese. The only other flavour, than plain feta, that works well for me is the pepper flavoured feta cheese.

One thing I like most about this ostrich fillet recipe is you can use the leftover meat in this healthy ostrich fillet salad with chia seeds recipe..

This ostrich fillet with feta cheese recipe is quick and easy to prepare. It is perfect as a come home late snack, but we found that it works best on special occasions, like Valentine's day. Fillet has become so expensive that we only choose to eat the meat on special occasions.

As for the recipe, we normally use 500 g ostrich fillet steak, but we doubled all the ingredients to suit a small family

We usually eat this ostrich fillet with feta cheese with an avocado garden salad and potato wedges. It works well with couscous and only fries.

If you have tried our ostrich fillet with feta cheese recipe, we would love to know what you think of it. Please share your thoughts and tell us what you think.

PS Happy Valentine's Day and enjoy this recipe.

This classic traditional pancake recipe is uniquely South African. We extended our boundaries across the waters and reached out to people who follow our pages on different social media platforms and asked a simple question. Does anyone have a pancake recipe in South Africa?

The response was overwhelming and within minutes we had hundreds of pancake recipes to choose from. We put our chef and editor to the test and came up with this pancake recipe. South Africans are lovely people and they love to share, but we have to admit, some of the submissions we received were quite hilarious.

We were on the hunt for a basic pancake recipe but quickly found out that there are many different variations to this traditional pancake recipe. Some use chicken fillings, other use tuna or seafood fillings, there were even chili con Carne filling suggestions.

We soon realized a trend. Most of the submitted pancake recipes, had the same finishing effect, a mixture of sugar and cinnamon. Seeing we all agreed, we stuck to our guns and chose this as the basis for our pancake recipe South Africa.

Most people also shared occasions for eating pancakes and we also found out that most South Africans eat pancakes at church bazaars or on rainy days.

The conclusion is final. We found a rainy-day-church-bazaar-cinnamon-sugar-pancake recipe. We also feel it is only fair to list a few suggestions we received with our pancake recipe submissions.

Suggestions:

1. Leave the pancake batter to stand for one hour before making the pancakes.
2. You only need to grease the pan used to make the pancakes once.
3. The first pancake is called (die flop) the tester. It almost always happens. Discard or eat the first pancakes and all the others to follow will come out looking good.
4. The pancakes freeze well and if you freeze them, do so with wax paper in between the different pancakes.

We did not have the time to test all the suggestions we received, but we can agree with numbers 2 and 3 because no testing is needed, as it just happened.

If you have a good or better suggestion, we would love to hear what it is. Please share your suggestion with us.

This pumpkin tart recipe comes credit to Marna Ross, my wife, and best friend. I love it when she bakes this pumpkin tart. The spices and smell of pumpkin fill the entire house and remind me of a good time in my life when I was little and spent the school holidays on a farm in Newcastle.

It is a traditional and classic pumpkin tart recipe and can be made with pumpkins or butternut. Both taste equally good and it is almost impossible to taste the difference between the pumpkin or butternut.;

Many people eat squashed or mashed butternut as a side dish and many restaurants list pumpkin as a vegetable of the day. Pumpkin as a side dish tastes good, but this pumpkin pie tastes better and looks good on a plate. I love this pumpkin pie as a side dish with savoury dishes like stew or roasts.

The pumpkin pie tastes good as is, or you can serve it by sprinkling a little cinnamon over the top or drenching it in a meaty gravy. We have tried a few variations, and they all work well.

If you have tried our pumpkin pie recipe, please let us know what you think. We love to hear your feedback and use the information to improve our recipes.

Here is an easy roasted pumpkin seed recipe. Pumpkin seeds have many health benefits and are good for you. Pumpkin seeds are rich in vitamins and minerals like manganese and vitamin K, both of which are important in helping wounds heal. They also contain zinc, a mineral that helps the immune system fight bacteria and viruses. Pumpkin seeds are also an excellent source of Phosphorus, which is needed to build strong and healthy bones.

This is a quick summary of the health benefits of pumpkin seeds. You can now see why these seeds are good for you and especially your growing children. It is easy to disguise pumpkin seeds in different recipes. You can add the seeds to muffins, bread, muesli, breakfasts, and salads.

Besides, pumpkins seeds are inexpensive and available in most supermarkets. If you prefer, you do not need to roast the pumpkin seeds. Roasting the pumpkin seeds enhance the falavour and makes it easier to eat the pumpkin seeds, but you can also eat them raw.

We trust you enjoyed our roasted pumpkin seed recipe. If you did, please let us know and tell us what you think.

This creamy spinach recipe is quick and easy and ready in 15 minutes. It is the perfect side dish with fish, roast meat, or anything you like. Personally, I prefer to enjoy it with this Chilean Sea Bass recipe. You also often see creamy spinach listed as the vegetable of the day in most restaurants; that is because it is simply delicious and restaurants know how much people love it. My nieces, three of them, love this creamy spinach recipe. Whenever they visit from the Wes Coast, one of the first things they ask for is this cream spinach. It is a good way to get kids to eat their veggie, as well as fish

We hope you enjoy this creamy spinach recipe. If you tried it, please let us know what you think.

The name Chilean sea bass recipe sounds complicated, but it could not be easier to make. This quick and easy 20-minute Chilean sea bass meal is perfect for those who work late nights. Its been a long time since I made this sea base recipe, but it was not hard to forget how delicious it was

I used grapeseed oil to fry the Chilean sea bass, as I did not have avocado oil in stock at the time. Avocado oil is the best oil to fry fish as it has a high smoke point, but you can also use extra virgin olive oil, canola oil, and even coconut oil

The completed fried fish looks beautiful plated. I have tried different sauces to serve with the fish, and have found this Chardonnay Cream Sauce works a treat and tastes delicious

I really hope you will enjoy this Chilean sea bass recipe. If you did, please tell us about it

I decided to add a Monkfish recipe to the list of fish and seafood recipes we have available on our website. I thought about many different fish recipes, but because monkfish tastes so good, the decision was easy. Monkfish is known for its tight, meaty white flesh that is often compared to lobster meat. It's not only similar to lobster in texture, but also in flavor. It has a mild, sweet flavor without a trace of fishiness. Monkfish live in the western North Atlantic, ranging from Newfoundland to North Carolina. Fishermen have also spotted the species along the coast of Barbados and in the Gulf of Mexico.

Monkfish may not look nice, but they sure taste great. Monkfish are not pretty, but cleaned and cooked, monkfish become wonderful, with a sweet flavour and firm texture that's earned them the nickname of "poor man's lobster." Here is our best recipe for monkfish, the sea's most delicious monster.

This monkfish recipe has a little twist to it. The plot is simple, I added a spicy tomato sauce that can either be served on the side, or you can drench the fish in the tomato sauce. There are many different ways to prepare monkfish and options to serve it with, but for me, and other people in our family, the addition of the tomato sauce worked a treat.

The tomato sauce compliments the sweet taste of the monkish and adds extra flavour

We hope you will enjoy this monkfish recipe as much as we did. If you did, please let us know what you think. We are happy for any feedback and use the feedback to improve our recipes.

Best Yorkshire pudding recipe is a search term I discovered from the analytics data provided by us through Squeaky Chair Productions. Naturally, we will use the data to create recipes, because that is a good indication of what people are looking for.

Now you have a quick background of what we do and why we decided to publish this Yorkshire pudding recipe. We made it our own, in the sense that we created mini versions of the Yorkshire puddings. They are less likely to fail and easier to prepare. They also look better. Kids love it.

The name Yorkshire pudding is a bit confusing, suggesting it is a pudding or a dessert, but actually it turns out to be a side dish made from a batter of eggs, flour, and milk or water. The description may not be entirely accurate as well; the exact origins of the Yorkshire Pudding are unknown, the general consensus being that it is a dish associated with the North of England.

My experience with eating Yorkshire pudding is limited, however, I have enjoyed the puddings with actual British people, and from what I can remember, it is a recipe reserved for special occasions like Christmas and Thanksgiving.

I would also like to let you in on another secret about Yorkshire pudding. Resting the batter overnight is key to developing a better flavor. Forget about cold batter: letting it rest at room temperature helps it rise taller as it bakes. A combination of milk and water gives the Yorkshire puddings extra rise and crispness.

I can also tell you that in my experience, the best gravy to serve with Yorkshire puddings is a rich onion gravy.

We let out all our secrets and shared what we know about Yorkshire pudding. Now we would like to hear your feedback, please.

This butter chicken recipe has all the right ingredients added to make it a well-balanced meal. It is not too spicy and not too weak, a great combination of spices that blends really well to form a delicious butter chicken.

My wife, the chef, had this butter chicken listed as an item on the menu in the restaurant she worked. It was a very popular item and especially loved by foreigners visiting their guest house.

A visit to the restaurant was also the first time I heard of butter chicken. I asked my wife for the recipe and we prepared the butter chicken one evening when we got home. I remember this Indian butter chicken recipe as the perfect winter's day companion. It was clod and wet outside, but we got comfort from the tasty butter chicken.

Yes, some people call it Indian butter chicken. If I could guess, I would say that the difference between butter chicken and Indian butter chicken lies in the spiciness. Indian butter chicken is spicier than the butter chicken we are used to.

What also works well when serving this butter chicken is to serve it with basmati rice. The combination of the basmati rice and the butter chicken makes for the perfect marriage between all the flavours.

We worked hard to bring you this butter chicken recipe and honesty hope that you would enjoy it. Please let us know what you think.

Oven Roasted turkey is a celebrated recipe in most homes over Thanksgiving and Christmas. Most families attack the already dead bird using different ingredients and regard their final recipe as a heavily guarded secret.

This is a basic oven roasted turkey recipe and we used this bread stuffing as the stuffing. This recipe and stuffing work with most poultries, including turkey, duck, and chicken. I am not sure about swans, because they are birds reserved for the culinary pleasures of apparently very important people. So it is said.

In fact, we should call this a roast poultry recipe, but because it reminds most of us of a special occasion, we called it roast turkey, a bird who fears Thanksgiving and sacrifices its life to the celebration thereof.

We also used a basic bird basting (tanning lotion) for the oven roasted turkey recipe. A very simple lemon, butter, and spices basting. There is no need to use sophisticated bastings as turkeys are super tough birds and the flavours will hardly penetrate the skin. The stuffing is what bring out the flavours from the inside and can be absorbed by the meaty flesh.

We worked hard to bring you this oven roasted turkey recipe of a bird, who almost got away, and is now only remembered on a recipe image. His name was Butterball and he was brave, and still is. Kudos to you Butterball. The brave one, may your kids prosper.

Please let us know what you think.

This classic traditional bread stuffing recipe is one of two favourites my family use to stuff turkey or chicken during thanksgiving. We all agree this is the best bread stuffing and prefer it over the sausage cornbread stuffing variation. What better way to celebrate Thanksgiving and Christmas than the traditional way? Even the kids agree.

Talk about kids. They love helping out in the kitchen and this bread stuffing recipe is a good way to get them involved and get their hands yucky dirty and the onions make their eyes watery.

This classic bread stuffing has our attention and it is classic with stuffing with sage and onion and all the other traditional classic bread stuffing ingredients. It is a good time to get the kids involved after you have added all the ingredients to a mixing bowl. Get the to do the mixing by hand and take a video or a photo and share it. Beautiful memories of Thanksgiving and Christmas.

Once completed, the bread stuffing is sufficient to stuff a turkey, a chicken, or a leg of lamb.

We hope you enjoy this classic bread stuffing recipe. Please let us know what you think.

Eds Note: You do not need to blanch the onions, you can use raw onion instead. Blanching stops enzyme actions which otherwise cause loss of flavor, color and texture. In addition, blanching removes some surface dirt and microorganisms, brightens color, and helps slow vitamin losses

This tomato stew recipe is the perfect cold winter's day companion. There are two basic variations to this tomato stew recipe, a beef version, and a lamb version. Both stewing beef and stewing lamb works well and completely absorbs the flavours of the tomato juices added to the stew.

The ingredients make no mention of herbs, but basil works really well with tomato and you can add a little basil or mixed herbs to the pot towards the end of the cooking process to add a little more flavour.

This tomato stew recipe comfortably yields four to six portions and also freezes well, permitting the potatoes to be removed or consumed before freezing. If you plan to freeze the tomato stew, first thaw it and add a little more water and cook it over low temperature. Even better, use a microwave to defrost the stew and warm it up again.

While you are cooking the stew, remove the scum, fat from the surface regularly to control the cooking temperature and allow to simmer the stew over low to medium heat.

Removing the scum makes it easier to control the temperature of the pot so you can maintain a constant simmer. If you don't skim it off, the scum aggregates in a foamy layer on the surface, which acts as insulation. It traps more heat in the pot and can cause your pot to boil when it would otherwise be simmering.

We did the hard work to bring you this tomato stew recipe and would like to know what you think and welcome you to please share your thoughts with us.

This is a quick easy soft polenta recipe. The trick is to make the polenta in the microwave instead of the stovetop. The polenta recipe yields two good-sized portions, but you can adjust it to the portions of your choice. 

Adding the butter is optional, but it helps to keep the polenta soft after cooking, while the polenta cools down. The polenta will become stiffer, the longer it stands or cools, so the best is to serve this polenta straight away, after preparation. 

This Polenta recipe goes well with Beef Stew

This Christmas cake recipe is not only a recipe, it is a family tradition. The recipe for this Christmas cake has been in our family for over five generations. I wish I can share a photo of the page in my great grandmother's recipe book of the recipe, but it does not feel right. I have decided to instead share the recipe on our food blog.

There are some Christmas celebrations that should not change and are the same in most Countries, especially Christmas cake. Ideally, the Christmas cake should be baked at least two months before Christmas which allows more than enough time for the cake to be fed with brandy or sherry, which assists the cake in maturing. If you decided to bake the cake just before Christmas you do not need to worry. This Christmas cake recipe is ideal on short notice and wll most likely taste the same as a matured Christmas cake. 

If you are looking for a great dish to accompany your Christmas cake, please try the Roast Lamb for Christmas. It is an easy Christmas recipe and a great Christmas meal before enjoying the Christmas cake. 

One more suggestion I have is, if you have the time, soak the raisins in a little brandy or sherry the night before you bake the Christmas cake. This will ensure an even more moist Christmas cake.

If yo are looking to celebrate Christmas in style with a different English style pudding, then please have a look a the English Rice Pudding Recipe

If you think you have room and the time, then why not have a look at this traditional roast lamb for Christmas recipe? It is delicious, trust me.

Roast Lamb for Christmas is a tradition in our family. Every year, over Christmas time, we take turns to prepare this roast lamb for Christmas recipe. It is so easy to do, even my husband gets his turn every now and again. We love this recipe, especially over thanksgiving. This roast lamb for Christmas has great memories.

I remember when I was little and I still believed in Santa clause and all the great stories around it. I always got very excited around Christmas time and I still connect that excitement to the smell of this roast lamb for Christmas in the oven. Until this day, when I smell it, I can see my mom and grandma standing in the kitchen. Chatting, drinking a glass of funny-smelling stuff. Now I know that stuff is called sherry. They were so ashamed of drinking, they hid the sherry in a cupboard in an empty box of washing powder. At least the sherry had a laughing effect. They would giggle when they see me come into the kitchen. 

It was my father who was responsible for cutting the roast lamb once it was cooked. I remember, he once got an electric carving knife for Christmas as a gift from a friend. When he opened the present he laughed and said, why did I not have this before cutting the roast lamb? 

Those were the days and we still laugh at that joke every Christmas. We all now own electric carving knives as a precaution to the embarrassment my father felt that day. 

If you are thinking about baking a Christmas cake, why not have a look at this Christmas Cake Recipe? It is really good and another of our family Christmas traditions. 

I am happy to share this roast lamb for Christmas recipe with you who is reading this. Thank you and your family and have a great Christmas and festive season. 

This quick and easy lamb chops recipe is ideal for lunch or dinner when your time is limited. We all know that feeling of getting home late and not being sure what to prepare for dinner. A quick stop to the supermarket after work and less than half an hour later and you're all set. This lamb chops recipe is also the ideal quick lunch snack.

My husband and I have a tradition of preparing this lamb chop recipe on some of the evenings when we run or go to the gym. It is so quick and easy to prepare after a good workout session and requires little effort.

What also makes this recipe unique is the addition of the almond couscous we eat on the side. Seeing we return home from a strenuous exercise session, it is time to give back what you took.

Couscous is healthy and contains mostly carbohydrates as it's made from semolina, but it also contains quite good levels of protein and fiber with very little fat and no salt. Nutritionally, couscous contains some calcium, magnesium, iron, and zinc, as well as some of the B vitamins and vitamin E.

Besides this, couscous is also quick and easy to prepare. Now you can see why this lamb chops recipe is also a healthy option. Combine the lamb chops with the couscous and you have a winner.

We also added a little bit of Marmite to the recipe. Marmite is packed with vitamins and minerals.

We hope you enjoy this recipe.

This lamb stew recipe is a tradition in our family. Every year, on the 16th of December, Day of Reconciliation, we light up the barbeque and prepare this lamb stew recipe outside, in a potjie. This is what we call Potjiekos. Nothing fancy, but really fun and delicious and a hugely successful family gathering. A time, almost like thanksgiving, where we reflect on the past year and say thanks for everything and everyone in our lives.

One man, in the family, is selected as the Potjie Meester (meaning Pot Master), and he is the one responsible for preparing the lamb stew. The recipe remains the same, as it is a shared family lamb stew recipe, but the person preparing the lamb stew pot changes every year, and every man gets his turn.

What is also great about this traditional lamb stew recipe is that you can serve it on rice or Samp. Samp is an African food consisting of dried corn kernels that have been pounded and chopped until broken, but not as finely ground as mealie-meal or mielie rice. We prefer Samp as the go-to starch for serving this lamb stew recipe.

I asked my family for their permission before sharing this lamb stew recipe and everyone agreed, that it is too good to be kept secret. Who knows, maybe it becomes a tradition in someone's home.

We hope you like this recipe. If you do, please share it with your friends and family and leave a comment if you don't mind. We always care for the opinions of our site visitors.

My wife loves this beef stew recipe and begs me to make it at least once every other month. Maybe it is an excuse for her to relax over weekends and see me do the cooking, but I firmly believe that she really loves the taste of this beef stew, and to be honest, to see me sweat a little. 

The technique used to roll the beef in the flour before frying is actually one of my secrets in cooking. I use the same technique when I prepare this lamb stew recipe. 

This beef stew recipe is very basic and you can add vegetables and greens to taste, It works well with potatoes, peas, or beans. When it comes to serving you can keep it traditional and serve the beef stew on a bed of Samp, or any kind of rice of your flavour works well.

This beef stew recipe takes time to prepare, so give yourself an afternoon to do the work, unless you prefer the coolness of the evenings. 

For the wine, choose a good quality red wine for cooking. The best red wines for cooking are those with moderate tannins: Merlot, Pinot Noir, Sangiovese (the main grape in Chianti), and lighter-style Cabernets. Heat won't improve the undesirable qualities of bad wine: it will accentuate them. 

Maybe have a look at the Earl Stevens Collections of wines. 

We hope you enjoy this beef stew recipe. If you do, please share it with your friends and family or leave a comment, if you like. 

Thanks.

Waterblolmmetjie bredie, little water flowers lamb stew, is a traditional South African Recipe. The spring flower waterblommetjies are commonly found in the shallow waters of the Southern Cape, South Africa. Waterblommetjies are also found in most supermarkets from May through to September.

This waterblommetjie bredie recipe was passed on to me from my mother, who originally got it from her mother, my grandmother. Waterblommetjies in itself has a very foreign taste, lacking flavour. To overcome this we add a combination of sour apples and wine.

Most people prepare waterblommetjie bredie with stewing lamb or mutton, but I have tried variations with stewing beef. In my opinion this waterblommetjie bredie recipe work best with mutton.

As far as the white wine goes, you cannot go wrong with Sauvignon Blanc. Arguably the most versatile wine for marinades, seafood dishes, and veggies, this whites pronounced acidity and herbal notes are sure to add depth and zest to everything from stews to Italian dishes.

For trending white wine, have a look at chablis white wine. It makes for very interesting reading.

We hope you enjoy this waterblommetjie bredie recipe. if you do, please share it with your friends and family or let us know what you think.

Enjoy!

This mussels in white wine sauce recipe have very good memories. I clearly remember the first time my wife, a professional chef, prepared this recipe for us, as well as a few other people.

We were nearing the end of our honeymoon in the picturesque St Helena Bay on the West Coast of South Africa. On the last day, we spent the evening with my Cousin, her husband, and her children, in Paternoster. The Western Cape is popular for many reasons, one of them being the abundance of mussels you can pick off the rocks. This is if you are in possession of a valid permit.

My Cousin's husband had the necessary paperwork, so we all set off to the beach and picked quite a few good-sized mussels. Initially, our intention was to bbq, braai, the mussels.

My wife discovered a bottle of white wine and without hesitation found a pot and the necessary tools to prepare mussels in white wine sauce delight. It was so good, most of us opted in for a second, and even third serving. We never got to the other food we planned to eat.

As far as the white wine goes, you cannot go wrong with Sauvignon Blanc. Arguably the most versatile wine for marinades, seafood dishes, and veggies, this white's pronounced acidity and herbal notes are sure to add depth and zest to everything from stews to Italian dishes.

For trending white wine, have a look at chablis white wine. It makes for very interesting reading.

As a variation to this mussels in white wine sauce recipe, consider this Chardonnay Cream Sauce recipe.It is an absolute winner and a much loved recipe in our family.

We also have a very popular mussel pilaf recipe on our website if you are like us and you love mussels.

This mussels in garlic sauce recipe is a family tradition. Our whole family takes part in the picking, preparing, and cooking activities of this recipe.

Our family normally spends the festive season in the picturesque St Helena Bay on the West Coast of South Africa. On certain days we travel to Paternoster, a beautiful season village where mussels grow wildly on the rocks of the shallow waters and are available to pick during low tide.

You need the permit to pick the mussels, but one permit per family should do, as you can pick quite a lot and everyone, including the children, can take part in the mussel picking, and cleaning activities. To clean the mussels, simply soak them in fresh water for 1½ hours. Use a sharp knife and scrape off the head, where the mussels were attached to the rocks. Scrub the shells thoroughly to remove the sea sand. 

My wife, the chef, normally cooks this mussels in garlic and white wine sauce recipe. The white wine and garlic really add flavour to the mussels. If you are not up to picking mussels or do not own a permit, then you can optionally settle for frozen mussels, available from most local supermarkets.

Oxtail stew is a beef stew with a twist, using the tail of the ox, as the meat. There is something very interesting about this oxtail stew recipe. When I close my eyes and think about this oxtail soup, I can actually smell it cooking in my Ouma's (grandma's) kitchen. This recipe is imprinted in my memory like math tables are imprinted in a child's memory. 

This oxtail stew recipe has been passed onto me from my mother's side. It is a traditional recipe that was passed onto my mother by her mother. I am sure the tradition will continue for many more generations. 

Some people refer to oxtail stew as oxtail soup, but there is a big difference. The ingredients are different and oxtail soup is prepared in a pressure cooker. Oxtail soup is also not served with starches like rice, whereas oxtail stew is. 

This oxtail stew recipe can be enjoyed by the whole family. Kids generally love it for some reason, most likely because they can eat the meat off the bones using their hands. Yes, it is messy, but makes for a good laugh and what is better than seeing your kids enjoying their food?

We hope you will enjoy this oxtail soup recipe as much as our family does. If you do, please share it with your friends and family or leave a comment to let us know what you think. 

Thanks and enjoy!

Eds Note: This is a basic oxtail stew recipe. The same ingredients can be used in a beef stew recipe. If you prefer, you can also add potatoes. The potatoes will absorb the gravy sauce and add rich flavour to this oxtail soup recipe

This beef stroganoff is an adapted version of the Russian beef stroganoff recipe that included a good dash of paprika and was originally prepared with mustard. You can read more about it here. 

This is a delicious beef stroganoff recipe and tempts all senses, smells, sights and makes your tastebuds come back for more. Packed with creams and paprika, as it should be, this recipe is suitable for the entire family, and believe me, children love it. 

There are variations of beef stroganoff that included red wine, but this recipe has been adapted to the original as closely as possible and is a basic beef stroganoff recipe, with no wine in it, instead we use sherry.

There is no special occasion suited for this beef stroganoff recipe, it is quick and easy to prepare and suitable for most weeknights, or as a quick lunch. 

I have experimented with meats to find the best combination for this recipe and I have found that beef sirloin works a treat. Beef fillet is also a good choice, as is any tender cut of beef. 

Eds note: If you plan to freeze the beef stroganoff, do so before adding the cream and sour cream. After defrosting follow the instructions where it describes when to add the cream and sour cream. 

This overnight marinated lamb chops recipe is perfect for the braai (barbeque). We compared a few ideas and decided on a versatile marinade. This means you can play around with the ingredients until you find the perfect match that makes your tastebuds come back for more. 

The addition of the wine, or sherry, makes this overnight marinated lamb chops recipe quite interesting. Lamb chops pair well with many different kinds of red wine so we decided to use red wine as the basis for this marinade. It was a risk we took, but it paid off. 

We tried three variations of this overnight marinated lamb chops recipe. The first one is with the basic ingredients we listed. With the second variation we tested, we replaced the herbs with a curry-based marinade. With the second variation, we used the same red wine but added cinnamon and a few cloves.

We presented all the variations to our taste panel of experts, who agreed we should stay with this overnight marinated lamb chops recipe we listed here. We hope you also enjoy it as much as we did. 

As for the red wine we used. The best red wines for cooking are those with moderate tannins: Merlot, Pinot Noir, Sangiovese (the main grape in Chianti), and lighter-style Cabernets. Heat won't improve the undesirable qualities of bad wine: it will accentuate them.

We decided on a good quality Merlot and it worked a treat. We did the hard work to bring you this overnight marinated lamb chops recipe and would like to know what you think and welcome you to please share your thoughts with us. 

The first time I laid eyes on this greek lamb chops recipe was during a brief holiday at Club Mykonos. We had a packed schedule and had to make time for lunch on the terrace of the Bouzouki Restaurant.

The menu of the bouzouki restaurant has many items, but seeing the restaurant had a somewhat Greek name, the Greek lamb chops immediately grabbed my attention. It looked like the best option on the menu at that time, but most probably the side dishes of the couscous and vegetable appealed to me.

When we got home at the end of the weekend, I immediately set off to try out a variation of the greek lamb chops recipe. Seeing it was a Sunday evening and most supermarkets were already closed, I decided to make good with what we had in our refrigerator. Olives, red wine, and feta cheese. All closely resembling greek style cuisine, and of course the lamb chops.

I turned out a huge success and both myself and my wife enjoyed two lamb chops each, with a little couscous, asparagus, and mixed roast vegetables. My wife enjoyed it so much that this recipe has become an institution in our home and we prepare it on many a Sunday night.

As for the red wine we used. The best red wines for cooking are those with moderate tannins: Merlot, Pinot Noir, Sangiovese(the main grape in Chianti), and lighter-style Cabernets. Heat won't improve the undesirable qualities of bad wine: it will accentuate them.

This green bean stew is very popular all over our Country. I assume it is popular because of the abundance of both green beans and lamb or mutton all year round. We usually prepare this green bean stew outdoors over coles in a three-legged pot. It is a social time with good memories and the family and kids also enjoy taking part in preparing the green bean stew. 

This is a basic green bean stew recipe with many variations and possibilities. Different people try different things, such as adding wine or maybe flavoured soup packets, and different types of vegetables. One addition that I know works well is adding mixed herbs near the end of the cooking process. 

This green bean stew recipe comfortably yields 6 portions and it freezes well if you leave out the potatoes. I will also recommend not cooking the green bean stew again after freezing. It is best to thaw the stew, then heat it in a microwave. If you prefer to cook it again, first add a little water before cooking and only simmer, do not boil. 

Whether you choose lamb or mutton as the meat in this recipe, is completely up to you. I suggest trying both variations and testing which one works best for you. In both cases, I recommend skimming as much of the scum and fat off the top while cooking. 

Removing the scum makes it easier to control the temperature of the pot so you can maintain a constant simmer. If you don't skim it off, the scum aggregates in a foamy layer on the surface, which acts as insulation. It traps more heat in the pot and can cause your pot to boil when it would otherwise be simmering

If you are looking for a great and original starch to go with this chicken casserole recipe, then why not try our famous creamy samp recipe.

This lamb noisette recipe is our family's favourite Thanksgiving recipe. We used to do turkey over Thanksgiving and lamb noisette as an alternative to those in the family that do not prefer stuffed turkey. It quickly overtook turkey as the favourite and till this day, we only prepare lamb noisette over Thanksgiving.

I personally think the reason why our family prefers lamb noisette is because of the juicy, tasty noisette cuts of the lamb. The meat is tasty and the children in our family love it.

Noisette (which means hazelnut in French) is a small round piece of lean meat, especially lamb. It is the leanest lamb cut. The bread stuffing used in this lamb noisette recipe is the same bread stuffing we used to use with the roast turkey or chicken. It is a classic bread stuffing with onions and sage and works well with the lamb noisette.

This is a mouthwatering lamb noisette recipe and teases all the senses. It looks great, smells fantastic, and makes your tastebuds come back for more. We hope you will enjoy this lamb noisette recipe. If you do, please tell us what you think.

This chicken stew recipe is part of our family traditions. It is a basic chicken stew recipe and everyone in our family shares a different variation of this recipe. I personally prefer to stick to the original chicken stew recipe. it has been tried and tested so many times and I know it works well.

I also prefer to use chicken meat on the bone. I know the thighs and drumsticks taste good in this recipe, but we have also tried chicken breasts on the bone, as well as filleted chicken. I guess it all depends on what you have available in your house.

This is a good rotation of stock chicken stew recipe. You can add many different variations of vegetables and starches, like potatoes, or carrots to the chicken stew. We have even tried cauliflower as well and that too tastes really good in this recipe. I know that adding cubed butternut to the top of the casserole, a few minutes towards the end of the cooking time, also works well.

There you have it, a delicious chicken stew recipe the whole family can enjoy. Please let us know what you think if you decided to make this chicken stew recipe. Thanks!

When I think about this delicious Moroccan Lamb Stew recipes the first thing that comes to mind is the spices.A fixture on the ancient spice route, Morocco has adopted the abundance of globally imported spices from traders around the world, which have worked their way into local kitchens for centuries. Moroccan dishes are layered with sweet and spicy, earthy, and bright flavors that reflect the vast array of spices available in local Moroccan markets. It’s best to use whole spices that are freshly ground just before cooking, if possible. But if you buy them pre-ground, that’s perfectly fine—just make sure they’re under a year old to ensure they’re fresh and will pack the most flavor.

There are a few spices that define Moroccon cooking and are not far from the everyday spices we store in our food cupboards. These spices are cumin, saffron, turmeric, ground ginger, cardamom, hot red peppers, paprika, and cinnamon. This Moroccan Lamb Stew recipe combines most of the Moroccan spices to bring you a flavor unique to Moroccan cooking. We tried different variations and finally found a good balance between local ingredients and Moroccan spices.

We hope our readers will enjoy this Moroccon Lamb Stew recipe and we invite you to share your feedback with us. Maybe you tried a different variation of this Moroccon lamb recipe and we would love to hear what you did.

This beef fillet with feta sauce recipe is our traditional family Valentine's Day Meal. The recipe is easy to prepare and we alter turns to make it.

There is something about this quick and easy Thai Green Curry recipe. It reminds me of a time in my life when I was in a good place. I used to exercise often and had a strict exercise routine.

I am not sure what it is about this Thai green curry recipe, but I remember, every time, we had this Thai green curry for lunch or dinner, I will perform exceptionally well, and set up my best times on the stopwatch.

I am not saying it is a replacement for sport nutrition supplements, or that it was my imagination, but that is the way it was. So, it became one of my habits, to enjoy this Thai green curry every night before exercising the next day.

I think the magic ingredient, that caused me to perform well, is coconut milk. One of the ingredients in the Thai green curry recipe. Coconut milk is rich in electrolytes such as potassium, magnesium, and phosphorous. Potassium is important for the maintenance of a normal heart rhythm. It is also crucial for healthy muscle functioning.

No wonder this Thai green curry recipe was a healthy option on days before or after strenuous exercise. It clearly made me perform good and now I know why.

So many times, when I have run out of ideas, my husband and children will ask me 'when can we eat lasagna again?'. We are all familiar with a recurring recipe, and this is one of them.

The raindrops are settling on the kitchen windows. Two little sunbirds take cover on the window sill outside the kitchen window. Staring in as if they know what's coming. I always wonder if they know what I am doing and are eager for some scraps. Maybe it is the warmth of the kitchen they long for. The stove has been preheated and the lasagna mixture is cooking in a saucepan, waiting to be assembled.

The atmosphere in the house is warm, comfortable, quiet and as lunchtime nears, the excitement increase, the chatter becomes louder, the jokes increase, the anticipation is evident on the faces of my young children, whom I love dearly. They love this beef lasagna recipe, and cannot wait for their share.

Pinot Noir (or call it Pinot Nero) goes well with lasagna, it is light with a balanced soft taste. It has a pleasant aroma of red berries with notes of cherry and spices dominating. It fits perfectly with meat dishes, duck, paste and dishes of Italian cuisine

I am certain this beef lasagna recipe will put a smile on the faces of your friends and family, this is the reason why I am sharing this recipe with you. Please tell me what you think of this recipe. I welcome any suggestions.

This easy pulled pork recipe is the perfect lunch companion. Especially on a Monday where you spent most of the morning trying to get to work. My wife usually makes pulled pork from leftover oven roast pork on Sundays, but this recipe uses shoulder pork, and nog leg, or butt.

I enjoy using shoulder pork in this easy pulled pork recipe. It is quicker to oven roast and in my opinion, the meat is more tender. It is the perfect cut for pulled pork and tastes delicious as a pulled pork sandwich or on a bread roll. A lunch made in heaven. It is filling too.

The delicious slow cooked meat from this pork casserole recipe can be used to make perfect pulled pork for any occasion.

Pulled pork is pork cooked slowly over low heat until the pork is tender enough to be pulled into strips, often prepared with a barbecue sauce. For this recipe, I have used the oven approach, and not a slow cooker, as many people do. The ingredients I use make the pork tender and easy to shred or cut into strips. It also tastes better on a bun or bread roll.

My wife also uses the leftover pulled pork in a salad. She has the watercress-based salad she makes, and this pulled pork tastes excellent with the salad. I think it is because of the almost mustard flavor of the watercress, that it combines so well with the pulled pork. Mustard and pork are good friends.

I have a few variations of this easy pulled pork recipe. The one I have shared here is in my opinion, the best for sandwiches, or on a bread roll. The other version, where I bake the pork in a honey mustard mixture, is a good option for adding to a salad. If the demand, for the honey mustard version of this easy pulled pork recipe, increases, then I will be willing to create and share the honey mustard version as well.

Please let me know if you would like me to share the honey mustard version of this easy pulled pork recipe as well.

Thanks, and enjoy this recipe

This quick and easy apricot chicken recipe has good childhood memories. I remember this recipe well, as a kid, growing up in a privileged home.

My mother's strength lied in this apricot chicken recipe.

Seeing she loves wine, why not use some of the wine in a recipe? The best one that I can think of and that is quick and easy is this chicken piccata recicpe. It is delicious and super quick to prepare.

As far as the white wine goes, you cannot go wrong with Sauvignon Blanc. Arguably the most versatile wine for poultry and other dishes, this white's pronounced acidity, and herbal notes are sure to add depth and zest to everything from grills to chicken piccata.

For trending white wine, please have a look at chablis white wine. It makes for very interesting reading.

I decided to share this easy chicken alfredo recipe because we received many requests from our website visitors asking for a good chicken alfredo recipe. Many of our visitors have asked us if chicken alfredo should be made with wine, and others have asked what the best pasta is to use in a chicken alfredo recipe.

Once we had all the questions in place and reviewed them, we decided to start a retrospective activity. We do this with all our recipes. We review the questions, then group the questions by topic, then we score the questions according to the recipe difficulty and effort involved.

Then finally we get to work and we try out a few recipes and ask our friends and family to taste and rate the recipe. From all this, we can publish our recipe and share the results with our website visitors and social media followers, and fans.

This classic chicken biryani recipe originated amongst the Muslims on the Indian subcontinent. The world has seen many food crazes come and go and they all tend to be popular while they last, like the keto diet. For some reason, we always return to the tried and tested old favourites like this chicken biryani recipe.

This chicken dish is also known by other names like Biriyani, Biriani, Beriani, and Breyani, to name but a few. Many cultures have adapted this recipe and claimed it for themselves. It is a popular recipe and people enjoy it from all over the world.

The chicken biryani recipe ingredients are very similar to the ingredients found in any chicken curry recipe, but the main difference lies in the preparation, where the rice is included and also spiced with the curry and other spices.

The hotness of the recipe depends on the spices you use and the level of curry powder you use, either hot or mild. Chicken biryani is spicy, and most people prefer to thot version, but it is not to everyone's taste.

We are happy you are here and hope you will enjoy our chicken biryani recipe as much as we did. If you tried this recipe, please let us know, or even better, take a snapshot and tag us on Instagram @cookingcatdotcom

We decided to create an easy and healthy chicken breast recipe due to the high demand of requests we received from our website visitors. We totally agree that healthy food can taste pretty good, given the right balance of good and healthy ingredients.

At first, I was tempted to look into a pan-seared healthy chicken breast recipe but quickly decided to test an oven-baked chicken breasts recipe. The reason is simple Oil is saturated fat and is, therefore, high in calories. The addition of oil in frying adds to the calorie count of the food. However, oven baking does not add any additional calories and fats to the foods you cook and is, therefore, always preferred over frying. We also decided to go with avocado oil to back this statement, making this recipe even more healthy. And we recplaced the butter with ghee.

Ghee is butter that goes through a clarification process to eliminate all the water which, we should note, creates a higher smoke point while cooking. This butter alternative contains a fatty acid known as butyrate acid, which may help to reduce inflammation and support digestive health.

We are happy you are here and that we have an opportunity to share this healthy chicken breast recipe with you. Please tell us what you think of this recipe or take a snapshot and tag us on Instagram @cookingcatdotcom

Thanks and happy cooking and healthy eating.

We were approached by a popular local glam magazine asking for a chicken in red wine sauce recipe. It is not a combination we were familiar with and had to think quickly, and out of the box.

The first thing we did was to make a list of ingredients that compliments chicken well. Then we decided on what chicken cuts are best to use. Then we decided on what red wine is best to use.

We tried Pinot grigio, sauvignon blanc, and then Chardonnay and tested this chicken in red wine sauce with all three variations. In the end, we settled down with Chardonnay. Chardonnay is a classically buttery, rich, and full-bodied wine which wine works well in preparing a creamy chicken dish or a pasta sauce.

We also tested an oven-baked variation against the stovetop variation and found the stovetop version of this chicken recipe worked best.

Finally, we presented the completed chicken in red wine sauce recipe to our tasting panel and were quite surprised by the great feedback we received. Months later they notified us in a beautiful letter that this recipe was a huge success with their readers.

We are happy you are here and that we have an opportunity to share this chicken in red wine stew recipe with you. Please let us know what you think of this recipe. You can also take a snapshot and tag us on Instagram @cookingcatdotcom

This quick and easy beer bread recipe is one of my all-time favorite recipes. I decided to share this recipe because it is so popular with my friends, family, and on social media. It is also the easiest homemade bread recipe I can think of.

Beer bread is ideal for most social occasions, but in my opinion, works especially well with a braai (barbecue). I always make this beer bread when we have a snoek braai (pike barbecue), or prepare other kinds of fish on the grill. Beer bread is a great side dish that works with most grilled fish.

There is only one ingredient that I always insist on when preparing this beer bread recipe, and that is beer. Please do not use lager, pilsener, cider, or anything else but pure beer. It does affect the taste and if you do not believe me, try and experiment and see the outcome for yourself.

Thank you for visiting my beer bread recipe page. Please tell us what you think of this recipe. You can also take a snapshot and tag us on Instagram @cookingcatdotcom

Thanks and happy bear bread cooking. Have fun.

Please note It is important to allow the beer bread batter to rest for at least 20 minutes between mixing and shaping. It allows the hydration of the beer into the flour and lets the gluten strands relax. Gluten is the protein in the flour and if it is overworked, it can break causing the dough to lose elasticity and prevent it from retaining its shape when it bakes.

I thought long and hard before adding a beef hamburger recipe. We have received so many requests from around the world for a good and easy hamburger recipe that it became almost impossible to ignore.

And so we set off to create the best beef hamburger recipe we could think of. We enlisted the services of an Internationally acclaimed chef with more than 20 years of experience catering to an international audience. We always consider ourselves lucky to have the help of so many professionals onboard.

And then we shared this popular beef hamburger recipe with our social media followers and fans before we publishes it and asked everyone to be as honest as they possibly could.

It can be eaten as a salad or used to fill sandwiches. Poulet Reine Elizabeth, more commonly known as coronation chicken, is believed to have been inspired by the 'Jubilee Chicken' created for George V's silver jubilee in 1935.

As a family, we believe in meatless Mondays. This Moroccan cavolo nero recipe is our go-to meatless Monday dish. It is, in my opinion, the best and healthiest way to start a new week.

Lacinato kale has been grown in Tuscany for centuries and is one of the traditional ingredients of minestrone and ribollit.

The health benefits of cavolo nero are off the chart and for one, it contains more vitamin C than a whole orange. Making this cavolo nero recipe, the perfect winter companion. Although, we enjoy this recipe throughout the year. Cavolo nero is perfect in salads, soups, stews, and any recipe calling for kale.

This quick and easy beef brisket recipe is the perfect Sunday afternoon companion. Most beef brisket recipes are slow-cooked, which in my opinion dries the beef brisket meat out and changes the stage of the doneness of the brisket to well done. The secret to our beef brisket recipe lies in the overnight beef seasoning.

Our beef brisket recipe cuts the cooking time in half, resulting in perfectly cooked, tender beef brisket. The braising liquid we use also helps to tenderize the meat and adds to the flavor and the end result is amazing.

We are happy you are here and thanks for visiting our brief brisket recipe web page. Please tell us what you think of this recipe. You can also take a snapshot and tag us on Instagram @cookingcatdotcom.

This easy apple pie recipe needs no introduction. We had to think off our feet when the editor of a popular magazine approached our team to develop an apple pie recipe. We had a deadline of three weeks and had to think and act fast. As a first resource, we approached our social media audience and asked the right questions.

An apple pie recipe needs a few qualifications before it can meet the approval from the general public. The verdict was that most apple pies that are served today are made with two crusts, or double crusts, making the bottom too soggy. Another important point that was raised is that too much cinnamon and nutmeg is used, to the point where the fruit hardly matters. One more thing we notie is that people prefer to use Braeburn applles in their apple pie recipes, but Granny Smith apples work just fine too.

We had the info we need to prepare the perfect apple pie recipe and set it to work. We launched the initial recipe on our social media site and the feedback was overwhelming. Everybody loved it. Today we publish this public favourite recipe and look forward to what people have to say about this recipe.

If you have a good apple pie recipe then please share it on this page and tell us everything about your apple pie recipe. You can also tag us on our Facebook page where we can share food and cooking ideas together.

For reasons unknown to us, blueberry pie is especially popular in the state of Maine. In 2011, the Maine State Legislature designated blueberry pie, made with wild Maine Blueberries, as the official state dessert. Wild blueberries are harvested from late July to early September in Maine.

Blueberry pie can be enjoyed hot or cold, making it perfect for any season. When served hot, whipped cream is normally added and served with the pie. When served cold, maple and vanille ice cream is normally served with the pie. Blueberry berry is easy to prepare and a great mid0afternoon snack.
