Good old South African malva pudding
The best thing about this pudding besides it being basically flop-proof, is that you generally have all the ingredients at home.

Chicken teriyaki poke bowl
A poke bowl (pronounced “poh-KAY bowl”) is a Hawaiian dish that has its roots in Japanese cuisine. “Poke” means “cut into pieces” and the name refers to the slices or cubes of raw fish that are served in a bowl along with rice, dressing vegetables and seasonings. Our version uses chicken thighs, avocado and exotic mushrooms because they’re a match made in heaven! Play around with your favourite ingredients and let us know what your winning combo is!

Well, this salad is a great way to clean out the veg in your fridge, but you can use sugar snap peas, red pepper, beetroot, broccoli, asparagus, peas, gosh, the combinations are endless!
