Balsamic Ginger Fillet & Rice Noodle Salad
This is an old favourite, revamped into a light, fresh summer dish. Cook the steaks on the braai (medium rare) for some smokey flavour and a chance to sit outside while cooking. Pour that cold glass of white wine and enjoy. Maybe with a salty snack while you wait for…

Butternut, Avo & Coriander Salad
In summer, the hot weather makes salads, sushi and smoothies really appealing, but in winter, the thought of cold salad leaves makes me want to die. Dramatic? Maybe. But true. Thoughts of pizza, pasta and curries drive me crazy during the cold days, so I need weeknight alternatives to avoid…
