There is so much more to experience in the Kruger National Park, than just the big five game animals. Our recent walk on the Napi Wilderness trail opened my eyes to this. Read more about my wild walking adventure on my blog today. See link in profile #Sanparks #krugernationalpark #wildernesstrail #naturalheritage

Hats for the #royalwedding at work today What a fun day to be in the newsroom #lovewins

Samoosas and masala chai with my dearest sibling on a chilly Saturday morning

Finally having some success in the balcony garden! Pretty big leaves for baby leaf spinach growing in boxes. Despite the cold mornings, these leafy greens are loving the warm afternoon Jozi sun which they get for about four - five hours a day. About to put these on some bruschetta with sundries tomatoes for an afternoon snack #itdoesntgetfresherthanthis #urbanfoodgarden #containergardening #balconygarden #babyleafspinach #urbanfoodgrowing #gardenblogger #myjoburgfooddiary #instagarden #sunset #lensflare #wintersun #johannesburg

I’ve published an old recipe for an old favourite, Dutch Apple Tart, on my blog today. For me baking has always been fun and relaxing and for those of you think baking is difficult you really should try this recipe on #worldbakingday! Dutch #AppelTaart has been around since World War 1 and there are many variations, some with a fancy lattice top, some with raisins. My recipe from a school recipe book is straightforward and calls for a creamy syrup to be poured over the top while it’s still warm. Tastes even better with fresh apples which are in season in South Africa at the moment. Recipe on #myjoburgfooddiary #linkinprofile👆🏻 #baking #apples #applepie #appletart

Happy #worldbakingday! Here I am with a simple dough for a little crostata alla marmellata e noci. Made a simple fruit and nut pie/tart at the Smeg kitchen in Bryanston on an Italian cooking class with the Dante Alighieri association in JHB. Our teacher, chef Mikro from @mafiosideli, says the secret to the perfect dough is using doppio zero flour and butter! Can’t wait to make this again at home with different jams/fruit and maybe even some Nutella! Happy Baking! #myjoburgfooddiary #crostata #crostataallamarmellat#italianfood #italianbaking #dolci
