Salmon Poke Bowl
This is my go to Poke (pronounced PohKay) bowl. You can also see my other Poke recipe – click here. In my previous recipe I used salmon trout and seared it first, but here, I have such beautiful fresh Norwegian Salmon, so I am going to just “cook” the fish with the citrus. We have […]
Plum and Almond Tart
I absolutely love this recipe, with its delicate taste of the frangipane creme (almond) and the tarte plums. This tart is a perfect ending to a summer evening BBQ!
Short Crust Pastry/ Pâté Sucrée
Short crust pastry is used as a pastry crust for many tarts. This is a really easy, and exceptionally tasty crust.

CharcuterieIf you don't like BACONThen you are wrong!
Bacon Jam
Home made Wet Cured Back Bacon or Canadian Bacon
I can also promise you that home made bacon is far superior to the commercial crap that you can buy in the shops. If you would prefer leaner bacon then you can make bacon using the loin, which is more commonly known as back bacon or Canadian bacon.
Home made Dry Cured Bacon
I can also promise you that home made bacon is far superior to the commercial crap that you can buy in the shops.

BBQ Ribs
I use my orange base BBQ sauce and 5-in-1 Rub with this recipe to create the best BBQ Spare Ribs on the planet! Grilled on the open flame…mmmmm!
Chicken & Chorizo kebabs on the “Braai” (BBQ)
Chorizo works really well with chicken, and hence bringing together 3 of my favourite things, chicken, chorizo and BBQ!
Whole Chicken on the Braai (BBQ)
This recipe really takes me back to my childhood as it is adapted from my mom’s famous Paprika Roast Chicken. She used to do it in the oven (and I still often do too), but the smoke on the BBQ just adds that additional flavour note that kicks it into orbit!
BBQ whole Sea Bream with lemon grass, ginger and garlic (with a hint of chilli)
Sea Bream is one of my favourite fish. It has an amazing delicate flavour, and done on the BBQ it is absolutely fabulous.
BBQ Grilled Mackrell
I absolutely love fish on the “braai”/ BBQ. But you need the right fish – it has to be firm and a bit fatty so as not to dry out. So Mackrell – what a great fish for the “braai”.
My Basic Marinade for Fish on the Braai (BBQ)
Generally I hate marinades, because it masks the flavour of the meat, and quite honestly, if you are “braaing”, the marinade generally burns and emparts a bitter flavour to the meat. But this marinade is very simple and delicate, really adding to the whole experience.
Seared Salmon Trout & Tofu Poke Bowl
Poke (pronounced PohKay) is simply fantastic. It is fresh and healthy and delicious, all in a single bowl! Poke is the Hawaiian take on sushi, usually served with a marinated raw fish and a selection of vegetables. But, there are 100’s of variations, really, so it is one of those dishes that you can really experiment with and create your own signature dish.
Prawn & Chorizo kebabs on the “Braai” (BBQ)
Prawns and Chorizo are a perfect match, and cooking both on a fire is just absolutely superb. I marinade the prawns in the garlic/ ginger marinade as per my “Best Ever Prawns” recipe.
Braai Broodjies (BBQ Toasties)
Ok, so after 57 recipes you should by now know that I love “braai-ing” -T=this is the South African name for open fire cooking, or BBQ as the majority of the world knows it. But let me just tell you, there is absolutely no nation in the world that is as “be-fok” (that’s another afrikaans word for obsessed) with braaing.
