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.
