I started googling and found so many things to do with sour milk. So here is what I attempted: a form of Irish soda bread, chocolate cake and homemade ricotta!

Super excited with the outcome of all of my experiments 👏🏻

Lockdown has given me more time in the kitchen to try new things (when I’m not busy doing all the other more necessary chores and taking on my new teaching role for my two boys 😆). Use this time to do the things that bring you happiness and calm 🙏🏻

Stay safe ❤️Stay healthy ❤️ Stay home

While the world heals and we all do our bit to , we will be taking a break from all teaching (classes and private lessons).

Here in South Africa, we go into lockdown for 21 days. You are welcome to message me for recipe advice or inspiration during these trying times.

Stay safe and healthy everyone! ❤️🙏🏻

Joyce has been enjoying private lessons for the past 5 weeks. We meet once a week for a morning of learning, cooking and tasting together and I’m thrilled to have spent the time getting to know her. She has “graduated” feeling more confident and ready to take on any recipe and know she can do it.

Monday easy-does-it inspiration — airfryer chicken nuggets... moist chicken breast strips with a challah crumb - my kids gave it a thumbs up 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Simply dip in seasoned flour, then an egg wash (with a tablespoon oil instead of water) and finally a coating of seasoned fresh bread crumbs. Cook on highest temp (200degC) in air fryer for 8-10 minutes ✅
