Welcome to my blog!

Hello Readers and welcome to my Blog!

My name is Nicole and I am a 26 year old living in Johannesburg, South Africa.

More about me:

Growing up I always had a passion for food and more importantly, healthy eating and living a balanced lifestyle. I absolutely love cooking and I am always keen to try new recipes and restaurants. My hobbies are vast and by following this blog, you will be able to gain insight into all the things that interest me. Whether it is art, music, drama, fashion or cooking (obviously), I am happy to share it with you!

My passion for cooking stems from my mother. She has so much wisdom that she has shared with me about cooking. From growing her own fresh, organic produce, to how to replace certain less-healthy ingredients with healthier options. I am so blessed to have a mother who has always been so passionate about cooking and has always taken the time to teach my sister and I how to cook. This blog is a tribute to my amazing mother.

Please don't get me wrong. When I say healthy cooking and living a healthy lifestyle, I do not mean that my family and I follow strict diets and refuse to eat anything that is considered a carb. Don't believe me? Buy us a large, fresh pack of Cheese flavored Nik Nak chips, sit back and watch all havoc break loose ;)

My motto for eating is simple, "Everything in Moderation".

More about the Blog:

To start off, my Blog will consist of several interesting meals that I have made from different cookbooks. These books include the likes of Jamie Oliver (duh), Gwyneth Paltrow and Vladia Cobrdova.

I will also incorporate my own recipes as I go along and provide some tips on catering for specific events.

I will explore all the amazing food culture that can be found in South Africa. I will also discuss any other interesting foreign foods I have tried from different countries that I have been lucky enough to have travelled to.

This Blog is for anyone who enjoys cooking. Whether it is a simple pasta dish or a challenging recipe, let's start the adventure!
