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.

’n Eenvoudige, maar altyd indrukwekkende resep. Het jy al hierdie weergawe met geroosterde tamaties, balsamiese asyn en vars kruie gemaak?

Dukkah (also known as Egyptian dukkah) is a traditional mixture of nuts, seeds and spices and is often used in Middle Eastern and Mediterranean cuisine. Make my homemade version in a few easy steps. Serve as a delicious accompaniment for roasted vegetables, chicken or meat or sprinkled over a salad.

Dit is een van die maklikste maniere om warm brood op die tafel te hê. Jy kan die geurmiddels maklik varieer om by jou smaak en voorkeur te pas. Dis ’n heerlike bygereg met braaivleis.

The first few times I made these onions I used dried thyme. Soon after I started adding cumin seeds and now, I alternate between the two flavours, depending on what I am planning to serve with the onions. I use thyme if I want a more delicate flavour, and cumin when I serve it with meat.

This tomato pesto is so versatile. Spread it on sandwiches (braaibroodjies) or toast, dollop on scrambled eggs for a delicious breakfast and the options for sides, salads and suppers are plenty. Spread pesto on chicken breast fillets or under the skin of chicken thighs and roast in the oven. Toss the pesto through baby potatoes in the skin or chickpeas, add some crumbled feta and serve with rocket and fresh basil as a side dish.
