Taste Buds : November 2013
http://tastefeast.blogspot.com/2013_11_01_archive.html
I was invited by Brandhouse to join them at the Whisky Live festival to experience their Whisky Sensorium. I am by no means a whisky expert, in fact I know/knew very little about it. I am more of a brandy drinker. So I decided it was about time to enter the world of whisky. The Sensorium was divided into 4 “worlds” of flavours and the whiskies obviously categorised accordingly. Fresh Rich. Vibrant. Bold. A few other random whisky facts:. Unlike wine and brandy, you are advised to add a bit of water.

Taste Buds : February 2012
http://tastefeast.blogspot.com/2012_02_01_archive.html
Next up on the traditional South African menu is Bobotie. Below is my bobotie recipe but this time I used it as the filling for pies and not as a baked dish on its own. Makes 18 small pies. 2 onions, finely chopped. 4 cloves garlic, finely chopped. 1 tbs coriander seeds, finely crushed. 6 cloves, finely crushed. 2 tbs medium curry powder. 20 ml lemon juice. 1 tbs brown vinegar. A handful of fresh thyme. 8 slices of white bread, crusts removed. 1 glass of milk. 3 rolls of puff pastry. To make bobotie pies.

Taste Buds : December 2011
http://tastefeast.blogspot.com/2011_12_01_archive.html
In our family we try to keep Christmas gifts small, firstly because Christmas is actually not about gifts… and secondly because we have a big extended family and December is already a blow-the-budget type of month for most. But after eliminating the usual socks/ties/chocolates/soaps and lotions one could easily spend a whole day in shopping malls without finding a special & unique gift for everyone on your list. I’d much rather spend the whole day in the kitchen. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Taste Buds : August 2012
http://tastefeast.blogspot.com/2012_08_01_archive.html
STARTING WITH A CLEAN PALATE. We are expecting our first born baby who hasn't yet. Revealed if it prefers blue or pink. My wife has a pregnancy app on her phone which after entering a few. Things to determine the age of the baby, sends her a weekly update on. The development of the baby during that week. Flippin' amazing! So this morning I got the weekly update and even though the baby is just. 10cm tall at this stage, it is already developing taste buds! How crazy is that? Unsalted cashew nuts (chopped).

Taste Buds : January 2012

I’m not quite sure where the inspiration came from but I’m on a mission to cover basic South African recipes. Lasagne, koeksisters, milk tart, bobotie,. Chicken pie, tongue. the stuff we grew up with – boerekos! The hearty type of dishes you’ll still find on the dinner tables on our farms, made with lots of love and lots of butter in old school kitchens by tannies with the flowery aprons. Call it my little kook-en-geniet experiment. This is not a quick middle-of-the-week-dinner-in-30-minutes-recipe!

Taste Buds : July 2012
http://tastefeast.blogspot.com/2012_07_01_archive.html
On Sunday we found ourselves in the new Nicolway shopping centre in Bryanston. All the restaurants are situated in one spot which creates a nice vibe and makes it easier to choose a spot. We walked passed Tasha's (which was packed as always) and a few others but it was the "French Cuisine" in the Red Rabbit logo that caught my attention. They don't have their liquor license yet - this is the worst news for a restaurant owner but the best news for patrons! A quality, well polished wine glass. Drizzle and ...
