Thank you for visiting the website! I'm Maxine, food blogger, home cook, travel enthusiast, and all-around lover of all things food and culture. In other words, I’m obsessed with fusion cuisine (a style of cooking that combines ingredients and methods from different countries, regions, or cultures). My approach is primarily rooted in both a Southern African and American perspective based on my life experience thus far, making it quite varied. I hope you find the website helpful and come back! There is something for everyone, and recipes are designed to inspire you to try something new.
The portions at The Smith are quite generous which is great. If you go for brunch definitely try the pancakes. They come with toasted pecans, whipped ricotta, and salted caramel sauce (you can totally share but they are really delicious). Don't pass up on the avocado toast and the French toast.
