What inspired you to start your own blog?
My blog was created in 2016 & the reason it began was because I had moved out on my own & needed home cooked meals. I was always spoilt with food being prepared for me by my family so I didn’t really have a reason to cook. Moving out is a big step in life & nobody can live on take outs. I began collecting all of my families recipes & gave it a try & it was beyond my expectations. I always thought cooking was difficult but once you try it, it ain’t rocket science. I've created my blog to help others learn the basic steps to creating fabulous home cooked meals & more.
What is your blog about?
My blog is about everything food, from starters, main courses to desserts, smoothies, biscuits (cookies). I have recently created a new section within the blog to include reviews of restaurants based upon my personal experiences.
What would you like to achieve with said blog?
My only goal is to help those in need of cooking. From experience, I was clueless when I first started experimenting in my kitchen, my blog is here to help amateurs as well as experienced home cooks.
Your thoughts on influencer/brand relationships in SA
I think that’s awesome, it allows people to learn about new things. Nobody really reads the newspaper to explore the world out there, in this new era, it’s all about the impact of the influencers/brands that give you the opportunity to broaden you mindset - because it’s now an online world with social media taking over. In South Africa, the unemployment rate is fairly high, becoming an influencer can earn you the bucks whether you're employed or unemployed.
Uniquely you
I love:
the aroma of freshly ground spices, petrichor - the earthy scent which is produced when the rain hits the ground, cooking up a storm, traveling, experimenting in the kitchen & creating my own recipes.
