Winter Basics

Winter is most certainly upon us! I love the change in season.... Joburg's red skyline, cozy fireplaces, hot chocolate and hearty home cooked meals. So much to look forward to :)

Before we can cook, we need to shop! Here are some guidelines of basics that I must have in my cupboard at all times...
  • Dry pasta (1 packet feeds between 4 – 6 people). I like to keep a good variety - penne; spagetti; farfalle (bow ties); fettuccine; rigatoni
  • Anchovies
  • Bottled basil pesto
  • Olive tapenade
  • Parmesan (I like to buy whole blocks)
  • Tinned whole tomatoes
  • Good quality olive oil
  • Tinned artichokes
  • Tinned tuna

Looking forward to getting into winter cooking with you :) Until then... happy shopping.
