Easy Sweetcorn Fritters
Here’s my recipe for Easy Sweetcorn Fritters that are gluten free, made using rice flour, sweetcorn, egg and spices of your choice. (You can also use cake flour if you prefer) South African’s love fritters and sweetcorn fritters are kind of the perfect side or snack for Heritage Month. I used the OG Koo Sweetcorn for this recipe – keep in mind there is a difference between canned corn and sweet creamed corn.

Healthier Strawberry Pops Cereal
Have you ever wanted to make your own Healthier Strawberry Pops Cereal? Today I show you how to make Gluten-Free Strawberry Pops, using puffed rice, acai powder, strawberry essence and a little bit of sweetness. When my siblings and I were little, we would very rarely be allowed to eat sugary cereals. I even remember feeling guilty at nursery school because my teacher allowed me to make a Fruit Loop necklace and gasp – EAT IT TOO! When we were given sugary cereals like Strawberry Pops, Cocoa Pops and Fruit Loops, my parents would buy those small little boxes for us to ensure we didn’t overindulge. My sister and I…

Coconut Milk Vanilla Berry Panna Cotta
Here’s my recipe for a Coconut Milk Vanilla Berry Panna Cotta that’s dairy-free and refined sugar-free. This Coconut Milk Vanilla Berry Panna Cotta has a good jiggle – as panna cotta should.

Collagen and Carob Oats
Here’s a recipe for my Collagen and Carob Oats. Oats have a bad rep. Maybe its because they are a carb, that they are seen as the enemy? Or maybe its because you think of being forced fed lumpy porridge as a kid? Whatever the reason may be, I plan to make Oats sexy again. Oats are a whole-grain food and are rich in fibre, manganese, the B vitamins thiamin and riboflavin, vitamin E and protein. They’re also low in sodium and fat and free of sugar, cholesterol and saturated fats. So stick around for a few Oat inspired recipes from me! What is Carob? Organic Carob powder is low…
