Fill it with pork

Tender pork fillet rolled in 12 spices served with 2 salads first a carrot & orange juice salad to counter act the sharpness of the 12 spices. secondly a basic green salad with cucumber, feta & mint drizzled with lemon, olive oil & balsamic vinegar.
The 12 spices were salt, paprika, yellow mustard seeds, coriander, rosemary, dried basil, dried garlic, crushed chillies, cumin, pink, black & white pepper all crushed together in a mortal & pestle. The pork i cooked slowly in the oven, the base of the fillet i poured a little apple juice to bring out the flavour of the pork. Words can not describe the taste of this dish. the flavours consumed me & the meal lasted mere minutes.

To Tart or not to Tart

Everyone enjoys a tart.. but today we are talking milktart a favoured tea time partner down here in South Africa. However you can see i threw in a little touch of madness.
Which was simple enough i cut out a vector image of a sexy lady, placed it on said tart and sprinkled with cinnamon. le voila sexy tart.
This is my first tart... well first homemade edible tart:) It was nice sadly it had a lingering taste of egg as my friends know i am not a fan of the taste of egg but the texture and all round tartness was lovely.

But like with any tart there is always room for improvement :) i have since improved the recipe more milk less egg.
Let them eat tart.

The dance of the Salmon


Lemon & rosemary fused Salmon with garlic buttered & chilly mushrooms.
Hard to believe but this dish tasted even better than it sounds, my mouth waters at the shear memory of it. the meal it's self was easy enough to create.
Fresh Salmon hugged by rosemary and lemon. mushrooms topped with garlic butter and fresh green chillies oven baked until the mushrooms were swelled with juice.

This is a easy and impressive dish if i am correct in my memory this meal probably took half an hour with cooking time. mmmmmmm Salmon truly the best fish in the world i am so with the bears.

Shut your pie hole


So this is the first on many of my uploads. By sharing these with you i hope to motivate my self further and in turn bring you more wonderful designs both from my kitchen and my study.

This one is my latest creation apple pie ... so good i wish i could eat it all day every day. is truly a easy pie to make and my next one i want to try a cherry pie. lucky for me there is a cherry festival coming up and i shall then be knee deep in them and everyone can have there pie and eat it too. :)

Welcome self

Finally set up an account. Well-done to me, procrastination had its slimy tentacle firmly griped on my motivation. However, I shook the sucker loose and on with the blogging.

I have set up this mad blog to inspire my self with my current new adventures into the world of graphic design. Long story short life handed me a series of unfortunate jobs none of which ever gave me a true sense of being as it were. So I have thrown it all to the wall and am opening my own design company. Truth be told I have always had a deep throbbing love for it however was never given the opportunity to grasp it with both hands. Until now … As they say if you want something done right you got to do it your self. So you’re welcome to follow me on this path of self growth. One that I know if done correctly will have untold riches for me.

But my side plate is not bear either my passion for cooking is something to behold alas I fear having it as a career would greatly diminish the joy I hold for it. Still nothing makes me feel more pride than a great meal enjoyed by friends and family. So be warned you may be subjected to intense hunger after viewing some of my ideas.
Well I think that is a fair summery of my intentions for the time being.
