Unlock a World of Flavor with DIY Hot Sauce & Chutnies

Spicing up life since 6,000 years, hot sauce took a global tour in the 16th century and never looked back. Now, if you’re bored with the store-bought versions, get creative and DIY your own red-hot elixir or a mild chutney. Just remember to wear gloves while wrestling with chilies because safety is no laughing matter even if your hot sauce experiment turns out to be!

Food | Bread Sticks

Hey there, pasta fans – ever wondered where good ol’ breadsticks originate?

Turns out, a 17th-century Italian baker gets the credit (though his ghost probably feels miffed, we’re not sure).

Today, breadsticks come in many shapes, sizes, flavours, and even continents. They could be Italian-style Grissini, a cinnamon dessert or an oversized American appetizer. PSA: Homemade breadstick glory achievable in 20 mins flat! Let’s get baking, people!

Exploring A Pizza Love Flavour Revolution

Remember South Africa’s Roman’s Pizza? They kicked off as Little Caesar’s way back in ’93 and were the spot for those legendary “two in one” deals.

Then, the COVID-19 pandemic hit, bringing all sorts of lockdown headaches, and sadly, those famous discounts got totally sliced from the menu.

Those times basically turned the whole pizza industry into a wild topping battleground. Suddenly, your classic favorites were locking horns with some seriously adventurous newcomers like fruit, aloe vera, caramelized onions, and yep, even insects. Crazy.

Despite all that madness, the game of pizzas just keeps marching on! It’s armed to the teeth with awesome DIY recipes, super versatile ingredients, and this totally insatiable appetite for innovative toppings (and, let’s be real, a whole lot of melted cheese).

Food | Coffee Roasted Nuts

I stumbled upon the mouthwatering delights of candied coffee-coated peanuts at a South African market.

I then found myself taking a jovial deep-dive into the history and making of this insidiously addictive snack (you’ve been warned!).

From 16th-century nutty coffee concoctions in the Middle East to present-day DIY recipes, I invite you to join me in the exploration of this sweet, salty, bitter blend of coffee and nuts.

Remember, accidents are just part of the process, and ‘burning’ is merely a ghost tan. Bon Appétit!
