I started cooking when I was 9 . My first meal I made was a Pot Roast in a pressure cooker !! After having watched my mum perfect her pot roast, I gave this my first try whilst mom and dad were out fishing... The only thing dad said was, wow, if that's starters, can I go for seconds? Needless to say, I haven't stopped experimenting on the stove...
My favorite things to cook
Anything that is a challenge.
My favorite family cooking traditions
Roasts of all types.... South African cooking at its best
My cooking triumphs
Swiss Roll and Apple Tart - Melktert is a close second and of course Meringue Pie... Breyani was a challenge but turned out awesome ...
My cooking tragedies
I was craving caramel after school one day, and I took a can of sweetened condensed milk, followed the instructions and boiled the can ... BUT got sidetracked on the phone and the can exploded due to the evaporation of water... Yup, that was the last time I tried to make Caramel ...
