| Savoury Cheesecake10/10/12 |
South Africa is such a culinary goldmine! This savoury cheesecake (rather like a quiche) is full of loads of good things starting with good old SA favourite smoked snoek 
. Add some leeks, cream. mustard, cream cheese and parsley and you have a legendary Spring lunch in the making! See the Food Fox’s full recipe here on the lovely Pretty Blog.

| Creamy Leek Soup04/06/12 |
Winter is settling in and I have a hot water bottle on the go almost 24/7! This leek and potato soup with a beurre noisette drizzle is the business for this time of year! Hearty, creamy and healthy (ok, minus the cream and butter ) and full of my favourite vegetable of all time – delicious and delicate leeks! Leeks are so underrated in my opinion – a sad oversight considering they are so super versatile in anything from sumptuous risottos (try leek and taleggio risotto!) to chicken pies and of course this kind of heart-warming soup. Ilse’s terrific recipe can be found here on her Food Fox weekly food column for the lovely Pretty Blog. Enjoy!
