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.

My basiese botterkoekresep is juis só ontwikkel, dat dit maklik met verskillende geure aangepas kan word. So, toe ek ’n marmerkoek wou bak, was dit die perfekte resep om mee te werk. En aangesien ek nie van baie versiersuiker op ’n koek hou nie, het ek besluit om ’n alternatief te kies. Die eindresultaat was ’n klam Marmerkoek met suurroom en bessies – só mooi om na te kyk en ’n smullekker bederf.

Dié plaatkoekieresep het ek jare gelede ontwikkel en dit bly ’n staatmaker. Ek het dit al soveel keer gemaak en dit bly ’n lekker bederf. Die karringmelk in die resep maak die plaatkoekies ekstra veerlig en ek sit glad nie suiker in die beslag nie, want die suurlemoenskil en vanielje gee dit ’n heerlike geur. Wat is jou gunsteling om op ’n plaatkoekie te eet?

Impress everyone around your table with this colourful and festive salad. The sweet, juicy berries go so well with creamy avocado and the nutty flavour of toasted macadamia nuts. A homemade dressing turns any salad into a scrumptious, elegant side dish. This dressing uses a combination of Westfalia Plain and Lemon Flavoured Avocado Oil with wholegrain mustard and fresh thyme. Serve on a large platter or in individual jars to pack for an outdoor meal.
