This bread is warm, soft and utterly fluffy! Enjoy it with braaied meat, or any meal where you plan to serve bread. Be creative with the seasonings – the options are endless! Caramelised onions will be delicious in this bread dough. Alternatively, add cooked bacon, cheese, sliced jalapeños, fresh herbs, olives, peppers, sundried tomatoes, spinach or feta, or any combination of these. This version is seasoned with some true South African flavours, by combining Peppadews® and cheese. It’s so good. Have a warm slice, straight from the pot, just with some butter … yum!

This traditional South African sweet treat is actually very simple to make and ever so popular. Use my added twist and get creative by using different types of jams for the filling. A homemade pastry will be ideal, but I used a good-quality shop-bought short crust pastry and it works really well. Just follow the steps to blind bake the pastry cups first, for the best, flaky results.

This classic carrot cake with extra pineapple, nuts, spices and a cream cheese frosting is a match made in heaven. The special cinnamon frosting twist we did for AMC Cookware, is an absolute hit with everyone.

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.
