Hello! Welcome to dontmissmyplate.

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.

Locally sourced, fresh, and mostly organic products make for a yummy selection both for meat eaters and vegans and what you will find at Honeygrow. From the salad definitely, try the Hakusai. It tastes like Spring with walnuts, melon, and mustard miso dressing to start. For stir fry, I would recommend the Shiso Basil Pesto. Made with egg white noodles, I love both pesto and shrimp so this was a dream. Finish off with the Honey Bar a perfect solution if you have a sweet tooth but want to be healthy - yummy granola bar with fresh fruit and honey drizzled all over!
