Sweet Livers and Mash (Soet Lewer)

This is my variation on an old Cape classic. In my family this pickly-type dish is often given as a gift in big Pyrex dishes. My childhood memories are scattered with images of my grandparents enjoying a microwaved helping in a small plate with nothing more than bread and butter. Back then I would marvel at their brave penchant for such seemingly exotic foods. Too, I’d wonder at the mysteries…

Behind The Scenes: Usana Farming Estate

I arrive at the farm in the Stellenbosch’s wine region not long before sunset. After a warm welcome by Co-owner JP, the tour around the farm begins and I am excited. The Usana Farming Estate specialises in grass-fed beef, free-range eggs and traditionally farmed wine. This is not only a chance to ask any questions, but also an opportunity to experience everything he’s telling me about first…

Chickpea flour - The New Bread Of Life?

Chickpea flour – The New Bread Of Life?

Since Christ, we all agree on one point. Man cannot live on bread alone. May it be for health or for spiritual reasons. However, voices become louder that man should not live on bread at all. Especially not if it contains wheat. Dr. William Davis and Dr Perlmutter have contributed to this idea most significantly with their groundbreaking books Wheat-Belly and Grain Brain in 2011 and 2013, both…

Rice Noodles with Italian Ratatouille

Many claim that Gluten-free pasta can never compete with proper Italian spaghetti. They clearly haven’t tried Suree’s Rice Noodles yet. Shining like a star of hope on the horizon of Gluten-free pastas, personally my favourite Gluten-free option so far. Super easy to prepare, extremely tasty and at least as versatile as “proper” Italian wheat Linguine. After careful consideration, for fear of…

A healthier hangover breakfast

A hangover breakfast without bacon? Sounds like a bad dream to some, I know. But greasy food is much better suited to prevent a hang-over than to cure one. A fatty meal might effectively assist in making it much harder for alcohol to be absorbed on the one hand, but on the other it can easily irritate a sensitive stomach after a wild night. Myles’ had quite an occasion last night. So that´s why…

"As easy as Quiche" - Herby Swiss Chard and Zucchini Quiche With Feta

“As easy as Quiche” – Herby Swiss Chard and Zucchini Quiche With Feta

I love me a slice of Quiche. Although I´ve always thought Quiche was a little odd. This delicious mysterious cake has always made me wonder what it´s yellow/whitish body actually consists off. I guess as a little kid I fancied Quiche as the height of sophistication! Isn´t it often the unknown that we fear and assign some kind of unjustified complexity to? Baking a Quiche is by all means no rocket…

chakchouka breakfast

The souk is crowded and enveloped in scents of roasted sweet peppers and toasted cumin. My friend Nizar and I take a seat at a table outside a buzzing eatery. Right next to us is an old man wearing a turban selling dried chillies, a mountain of them, red and crushed and spread out on the bare floor in front of him. It is summer 2004 and this is the setting, on a late tranquil morning in Kairouan,…

BANANA COCONUT FLOUR FLAPJACKS WITH MAPLE SYRUP

Myles and I went running yesterday. We arrived back home, lusting for something indulgent, yet healthy and nutritious. We made some coconut flour pancakes topped with lush double cream yogurt, Canada’s No 1 Vertmont 100% organic maple syrup and bananas caramelised with coconut palm sugar. We made a whole big pile, served on a plate for us to share but only managed to eat half of the messy tower.…

Review: The dining room (cape town)

Today is my birthday and I have decided to dine with a very special friend of mine. I have been longing to experience and write about Karen Dudley’s Dining Room for over a year now. And although my partner Myles works for Karen, I’ve only been at The Dining Room once before, for a business meeting. Of course, as meetings go, there was not much room to lean back and allow the magical atmosphere to…

4 healthy and creative Sunday Lunch recipes

There’s nothing quite like a table decked with an array of different dishes. This happens to be one of the reasons I adore Sunday lunch at Myles’ grandmother so much. Roasted potatoes, steamed vegetables, mac ‘n cheese and chicken curry; to mention one possible combination of comforting treats, all presented in different oven dishes in her kitchen for everyone to enjoy. This inspired me to make a…

Moorish meatballs with flourless chickpea flatbreads (Socca)

Yesterday morning, Myles was slurping his coffee contently, when suddenly he raised his gaze and pointed at the kitchen shelf asking: “Where’s this pretty little tin of pimenton from? ” “Pimenton?” I asked. I thought it was something like really, really hot chili powder. But it wasn’t. I then realised that this gift that I had disregarded was actually one of my favorite spices. My friend Marisa…

Interview - Coffee Klatsch with Trish at Cafe Starlings

Interview – Coffee Klatsch with Trish at Cafe Starlings

I always played with the idea to feature interviews on Molewa’s Kitchen. I had yet to meet someone who’d be fascinating enough to set me in motion though. Starlings truly fascinates me. I love coming here. Not only for the food, but for the overall package: a winning combination of a charming low-key, genuinely friendly and well-trained service staff, thoughtful and innovative food options and…

Myles and I went running yesterday and arrived back home lusting for something yummy and comforting.

We made a whole big pile, served on a plate for us to share. We only managed to have half of the messy tower. So if…
