It’s been a while since I created in cake form and boy was it fun!!
I was so blown away by the support from my clients when I recently decided to make a few cakes this winter and @mrs.rebelo was first in line!! @mrs.rebelo you have always been such a huge supporter and I’m so honoured to have been able to make the cake to celebrate such a huge birthday milestone for your gorgeous mum!! And how cute is the teenie gold number cake badge I had made!! I’ve always had a thing about cake toppers and names on cakes so this is going to be my go to embellishment 🤍
Thank you @sweet.lionheart for the inspo!!

• MENU CONSULT •

Late last year I had the privilege to work with an amazing team on their newest venture @villageatyard41 If you haven’t yet been you’re definitely missing out!
The setting is picturesque, the interior decor and styling 👌🏼 and the team are super friendly and efficient!!

I love the menu consulting aspect of my work as it plays to my creative strengths, bringing my clients vision to a plate through menu design connecting with and training the kitchen team gives me all the feels and then seeing everything roll out on opening day and run with into the future is just so rewarding!!

So if you’re starting a new venture or looking to refresh your existing offering be it menu or product related, drop me a message and let’s chat.

• HOW I GOT THIS SHOT•

My first BTS reel!!
I fell into food styling almost by accident in 2012… it is something that I have grown into and learn t to do through years of hands on experience.

To get this shot I used all natural light and because its overcast didn’t need to diffuse it at all. Shot using my 35mm lens, 1/250, F3.2, iso 200.
The plate and sage green napkins are from @poetrystores the glass from @woolworths_sa and the salt and pepper shakers @spcakloofandhighway

These small batch Gluten Free Zucchini Fritters are an adaption of one of my old cafe recipes from a similar time and are a firm favourite in my family!!!

I hope you enjoy them as much as we do! Check out my stories for the how to recipe.

The recipe is down below! Don’t forget to save this recipe for your next weekend brunch craving, and if you like seeing how I “get that shot!” please like and share it with your buddies too!!

Gluten Free Zucchini Fritters - serves 2 (6 fritters)

3 small zucchini
1 egg
Salt
Pepper
Nutmeg, pinch
1/8 red onion
60ml maas/ buttermilk
250ml gluten free flower
5ml baking powder

Grate the zucchini, add the egg, salt pepper and nutmeg.
Then grate in the onion and pop in the Maas/ buttermilk
In a separate bowl mix the flour and baking powder together
Stir the zucchini mixture with a fork, then add in the flour mixture.
Place a knob of coconut oil in your medium heat pan
Place spoonfuls of fritter mixture into the pan and fry on both sides until golden brown

Served here with bacon, greek yogurt, rocket, parmesan and poached egg!
They’re also great made smaller for kids snacks or a brunch canapés.

A good repertoire of side dishes makes for easy dining.... This steamed and dressed broccoli is delish. Works well hot or cold and is just as good if not better the next day. You can switch out the balsamic for soy sauce for a full Asian experience too if you want. To be honest - this recipe came about because my soy was finished.........they say the best things happen by chance.⁠

Happy World Malbec Day.

I promised I’d share my thought in my Malbec choice for this year. And this beauty from @paulwallacewine was so so divine!! Juicy and fruity with just enough spice and smooth tannins to satisfy my foodie palette.

I drank this on it’s own as my week has been full and I wasn’t able to get into the kitchen for my own cooking, nevertheless I savored every sip 🍷

Happy Saturday lovely people and thank you @paulwallacewine for the cracker.
