Welcome!
There’s something truly magical about food. It’s not just about the taste or the memories that are created as we gather around a table with loved ones. It’s also about how food has the ability to look after us; to nourish + love us. I’ve always believed that food has the power to heal, to comfort, and to create joy. And that’s why I started this blog!

Cooking has always been my sanctuary, my haven of creativity. I’ve always had a love for experimenting with ingredients in the kitchen – coming up with creative ideas to create simple and delightful meals. The passion, I must admit, stems from my mother who instilled the joy of cooking from a young age. Growing up, I’d wake up early on most weekends to join her in her culinary creativity sessions. It was so much fun!
From the sizzle of the pan to the aroma of spices filling the air, those moments were a symphony of love and togetherness. It was during these cherished moments that I discovered my passion for cooking. And now, through this blog, I hope to share my creativity and inspirations with you.
Here you’ll find healthy-ish, wholesome and delightful recipes – I encourage you to give them a go!

Indigenous African ingredients
In 2022, I had the most incredible awakening that completely changed my perspective on food and flavours. The indigenous African ingredients, some of which I had the pleasure of indulging in during my upbringing, deserved so much more light and attention. I’m now on an exciting journey to create recipes that are inspired by these earthy and wholesome ingredients. These ingredients, with their rich history and unique taste profiles, hold a wealth of potential that deserves to be celebrated and shared with the world.
