This is one of my favourite kinds of cake, as I’m not one for a lot of icing. I also love the flavour of cardamom and it’s such a great partner to citrus. The orange slices on top reminds you of a delicate marmalade, making this cake such a special treat.

Baie mense is dol oor kaaskoek, maar is huiwerig om dit te maak. ’n Gebakte kaaskoek kan maklik droog wees en die gelatien in ’n yskas-weergawe is ’n bestanddeel waarmee min mense gereeld werk. Hierdie is ’n vinnige (en gesonder) alternatief, met ’n heerlike romerige tekstuur en jou gaste gaan beslis dol wees daaroor. Daar is geen bakwerk of gelatienpoeier ter sprake nie – net grenadella-lekkerte!

Panna cotta is normally made with cream, but it can be very rich. This is my favourite version and it is much healthier as I use less cream. Buttermilk and yoghurt split quite easily when heated, so follow the method carefully for the best results.

When it is berry season and you have them in abundance – make jam! My go-to is this strawberry jam recipe. Jam is normally very sweet, but you don’t need as much sugar in this recipe. The lemon juice helps to set the jam and the vanilla pod adds a wonderful flavour, making it more than just jam for toast or buttered bread. It goes well with French toast, waffles, crumpets and even for breakfast or dessert with yoghurt, fresh fruit and nuts. Spread it between two layers of butter cake or use it as a sauce for pudding.

A bowl of oats is a nutritious breakfast and doesn’t have to be the same every day. Here is a fun and colourful way to brighten up your next breakfast. Berries are known for their health benefits as they are rich in antioxidants, vitamins and minerals and a natural way to sweeten the oats. Enjoy the flavour combination of these fruits with a dash of lemon zest, cinnamon and a sprinkle of nuts and seeds.

Dié gebakte pere is só maklik om te maak en bestaan uit ’n paar eenvoudige bestanddele. Die resultaat is ’n smaak-avontuur. Die subtiele speserygeure is perfek met die gekaramelliseerde smaak van die pere. Sit dit net so voor, of bedien dit met een van die opsies in die resep – die Griekse jogurt is beslis my eerste keuse.
