Thank you for visiting my website! I'm Maxine, a food blogger, home cook, travel enthusiast, and lover of food and culture. I’m passionate about fusion cuisine, a style of cooking that blends ingredients and techniques from different countries, regions, and traditions.
My approach is influenced by both Southern African and American cooking, shaped by my life experiences and reflected in the diversity of my recipes. I also focus on farm-to-table cooking, using fresh, seasonal ingredients sourced locally whenever possible. I believe food tastes best when it’s in season and close to its origin.
Travel plays a big role in how I cook and create. I love sharing my food adventures, from what I’ve eaten to where to eat, while discovering new flavors, cultures, and techniques that continue to inspire me.
I hope this space feels helpful and inspiring. Whether you're in the mood for something familiar or ready to try something new, you’ll find plenty to explore here. Happy cooking!
If you haven't been to any one of the Milk stores you are missing out. Highly recommend getting a dig at one of the soft serves - the cornflakes soft serve and the chocolate pretzel is the best. The signature soft serve plays on the flavors in cornflakes and milk - which are somewhat sweet with a pinch of salt. Same goes for the chocolate pretzel flavor which the salt enhances magically. Also, try the cake balls and the birthday cake.
