This versatile pasta dish is great for a family meal or for a dinner party. This is one of my favourites to make for family and friends. I normally substitute the prawns with chicken when we have a family meal. I pan fry, or poach, 3 chicken breasts and break them into bite size pieces to add to the pasta once the sauce is made. If you prefer a vegetarian option, leave out the prawns or chicken completely, and it is equally as delicious.
There are many desserts in South Africa that have been acquired during the period of its colonization. One of these is the Traditional milk tart or “melk tert” as we call it . It has Dutch influences, both in its ingredients and in its name. “Melk” is the Dutch word for milk, and “tert” is an Afrikaans derivative of the Dutch tart. It is a mildly sweet custart tart sprinkled with ground cinnamon. There is nothing more delicious than its smooth creamy taste, enjoyed with tea or as a dessert.
In South Africa we are not very familiar with Mexican Food, but having spend a fair amount of time in California over the last few years, I have come to love its delicious spicy taste . I have researched, bought books, googled, and pondered over a dish that I have been dreaming about for the last month and this is my version of a spicy chicken taco bowl salad.
Because it is not covered in sauce, and uses only the freshest ingredients , its healthy and so delicious.
A smooth, creamy, classic soup that’s full of flavour. Make it into a meal with plenty of bread and butter. The addition of Fennel seeds gives it a delicious aromatic twist, but these can be left out if you prefer the traditional Vichyssoise . Remember fennel seeds have a very strong aniseed flavour, so use them with caution. Vichyssoise is usually eaten hot, but is surprisingly delicious at fridge temperature on a hot summers day. Add a dollap of natural yoghurt and a squeeze of lemon.
