Or in other words how to inspire your friend by teaching her a basic white sauce. As you know from my previous post Know Your Onions and Garlic I was teaching my friend Colette the fine art of listening to your food. It got me thinking that every time I cook, I rarely follow a…

Your People
A.K.A South African Comfort food! What I find really interesting in life, is sometimes people you meet you connect with on a simple level, they become “people you know” and then sometimes you meet people who become “Your People”.

Orange
There appears to be an orange theme to my food recently, which for me is not surprising. I mentioned in a previous post about suffering from chronic stress induced stomach pains. I am also a Reiki practitioner, and with my understanding of the chakra system, the colour Orange is associated with the area that needs…
