By Heidemarie Swanepoel This is the type of pudding I make on a day when I have time to spare, and when I have planned well ahead. The mixing and preparing takes only minutes, but the sitting time, and the steaming time are far apart. How I manage this, is this: Just after lunch, I [...]

Sometimes I double up on the crumble part, and firmly press half the dough into a baking dish, and then continue as in the recipe, and serve it as a [...]

By Heidemarie Swanepoel This was a staple dish many years ago, as a meal, or as a soup, and sometimes sweetened as a pudding. We enjoy it as a custard served with fruit or another pudding, or as a meal on a cold winters night. Ingredients: 4 cups milk 1/2 cup sugar (or to taste) [...]

By Heidemarie Swanepoel I wanted a decadent pudding that smells of kilojoules, but is not fattening. Is that possible? Yes!!!!! My inspiration for this desert comes from the decadent German Black Forest Cherry Cake. The jelly is light, the mousse is light and semi-rich, and the ice-cream is soothing. Go ahead, and try this out. [...]

By Heidemarie Swanepoel For a little taste of Mexico, I always make this dish for our family. I enjoy using sweet chilli sauce in many dishes, because it adds bite, with a sweet tang, to many dishes. I do not need to slave over finding the right flavors, in the right combinations – I just [...]
