A flavourful and versatile tomato sauce is such an amazing staple to have in your kitchen. It’s really worth making a big batch while you’re at it – do this on the weekend, when you have time. You can add almost any protein to this sauce. For some recipes the sauce can be the base for the meal (see the Easy chicken parmesan in the tips in the recipe) and other times it’s a delicious accompaniment.

This beautiful fig and onion tart is perfect for a special teatime occasion with a delicious balance between savoury and sweet – all in one tart. The pastry is made with cottage cheese and some butter, which makes it less finicky, so even if you have not made your own pastry before, then this recipe is perfect for you. I love to be creative with what’s in season and my taste buds have been craving something like this for the longest time. Yay, now I have another delicious recipe to make when figs are in season.

Quiche is so ’n lekker ligte ete vir die somer en perfek vir ’n laat-ontbyt. Daar is baie opsies om as vulsel vir ’n quiche te gebruik, maar dié kombinasie van ham en ’n geurige kaas is ’n wenner.
