FOOD LOVERS RECIPES
3 kg kwepers
2½ kg suiker
15 ml sout
5 liter water

Was die kwepers. Skil en ontpit en hou die pitte en skille eenkant. Los die sout in die water op. Snipper die kwepers en laat lê in die soutoplossing om verkleuring te voorkom. Bedek die skille en pitte met genoeg water, sodat jy twee liter vloeistof daaruit kan kry en kook tot lymerig. Syg deur ‘n sif. Voeg die snippers by 2 liter van die water en kook tot sag.

MAKING THE CUPCAKE LINER STICK TO THE CUPCAKE
What to do when cupcake liners start to come off?

One thing I stumbled upon when I first embarked on my cupcake-making-journey is that of cupcake liners not sticking to the cupcake. Cupcake liners can really add to the cupcake as a whole. So it’s definitely a problem when you have invested in some pretty cupcake liners and they just start coming off!
I decided that wouldn’t do and started doing some research on the net and trying some things out. Here are my tips on preventing it from happening. Continue reading→

WENK-OM KORS BLIND TE BAK

“n vinnige manier vir blind bak selfs al het jy meer as een kors om te bak
Plaas die pannetjies met rou deeg op mekaar met ‘n lee pannetjie heel bo-op en bak vir 20 min by 200 grade

Rol jou deeg lekker dun uit en sit dit in jou voorbereide pan
steek paar gatjies in jou deeg dan sit jy bak papier of foil  bo-op en dan gooi jy die kors vol boontjies of rys en bak hom vir 10-15 min, dan lyk die kors so mooi en kan mens net die vulsel insit van jou keuse. Dit is om te keer dat jou deeg teveel rys en daar geen spasie is vir vulsel nie.

NOTES ON WORKING WITH fabulous PHYLO PASTRY
1) If the pastry was frozen, thaw in the fridge for at least 24 hours before attempting to unroll it. If still slightly frozen the pastry will break if you try to unroll it. Do not remove the pastry from the box when thawing it in the fridge.
2) Always keep the unused phylo pastry covered with a damp cloth as it dries out very quickly and it will then be impossible to work with. Thawed pastry can be frozen again, but must be very well covered.
3) Any filling, savoury or sweet is suitable to use with phylo pastry. Just make sure the filling is quite dry and not too saucy or watery. A too saucy filling will cause the pastry to burst open and the filling will run out.
4) Phylo pastry can be sprinkled with nuts, sesame seeds or parmesan cheese between and on top of the layers for extra texture and good presentation. Continue reading→

WENK – KRUIEPLANTJIE

WENK – KRUIEPLANTJIE
Hoe om jou kruie plantjie te versorg
Kruie vra min onderhoud. Vol son is 1 ste vereiste en dan grond wat goed kan dreineer (hulle hou nie van klei grond nie), net genoeg water m.a.w. so bietjie daagliks of goed nat elke 2de of 3de dag (party kruie hou van meer water as ander so hou dit maar dop as dit begin verlep lyk, gooi water), die wortels moet nie versteur word nie so moenie om dit spit nie en dan om die meeste uit jou kruie te kry moet jy dit gereeld pluk anders gaan dit in ‘n dormante stadium, skiet saad en seisoen is verby.
Indien dit wel saad maak, los dit in die tuin dat die saad natuurlik droog op die plant, meeste saai hulle self.  As dit te veel is vir eie gebruik, deel uit of droog dit, maak olies, soute, botters, souse… Hoop dit help bietjie, ek kan nie sonder vars kruie nie!

HUISHOUDELIKE WENKE
Kookolie
Sit bietjie sout in die braaipan by die olie om te keer dat die vetspat.
Sny die onderste deel van ‘n wynbottelhouer af en bêre jou kookoliebottel daarin. Die kartonhouer suig olie wat drup op.

Kastrol
As jy aangebrande kos vinnig uit ‘n kastrol wil verwyder, kan jy dit vul met kookwater waarby twee eetlepels sout gevoeg is.
Strooi koeksoda op die aangebrande deel in ‘n pot. Maak klam met ‘n bietjie water en skrop.
