About Me

My photo
"It's not entirely about the food, but more so the love it is made with!" While I tend to cook hearty Hungarian family meals and make lots of homemade baked goods, I do enjoy exploring "fine dining". I love trying new recipes, with fresh vibrant colours and ingredients, and I enjoy making up recipes as I go along. I know my flavours and what works together. Being from a Hungarian background, my mother teaching me as her mother taught her, a fair amount of my blogging will be based on Hungarian recipes, traditions and stories! From my HAPPY kitchen to yours, I hope we have lots of FUN and share many experiences and ideas!" The Dining Bachelorette

"Avolicious.... Slice it, dice it, mash it, scoop it, blend it, spread it..or simple eat as is!"

"With the local avocado harvest upon us, there is no excuse not to get your dose of avo goodness everyday!

Here in South Africa we are fortunate enough to have numerous avo varieties to choose from, such as the popular green-skinned avos, Fuerte, Pinkerton and Ryan which is available from March to August, the dark-skinned, nutty flavoured Hass which is available from June to November.
 
Avos are the ultimate fuss free, healthy and tasty snack - smothered on toast with a hint of lemon; served in pita breads or wraps; shrimp/prawn cocktail; smoked salmon with cream cheese and capers; used in dips and the ultimate Avo Smoothie.

They are high in dietary fibre, a great source of Vitamin B5 and virtually sodium free.  They are also high in monounsaturated fat and aid in helping reduce cholesterol.



Add it to your shopping list.....!"
