Marvelous Monday

Hello dear readers, I hope you had a wonderful weekend and are feeling rested and ready for this new week ahead.

This week I would like to focus on a few things in and the around the kitchen. With Anton having started eating solid foods in the past few weeks, the husband providing too much meat for two people to consume from the farm - Kudu, Eland, Impala... you name it, I have it! - I am foreseeing a good few hours in the kitchen.

Can anyone say venison pie, steamed, liquidised veggies, kudu roast or biltong !? Let the cooking games begin!

Although I do like to page through recipe books, read cooking or recipes specific blogs and watch cooking programs, I am not one to strictly follow recipes. I find recipes too regulated and strict, but great for inspiration and sparking ideas; the kitchen is where I like to experiment and play.

A few of my favourite culinary inspirations include:
Punchfork
Foodgawker
I love cooking
Whats for dinner

My kitchen_this is where I play!

Perhaps with spring winking at us some of you are less focused on food than on putting on your gym gear, but who said cooking and eating cant be yum and healthy!? More on this tomorrow.

DIY Thursday_ The KCCC: February French

As previously mentioned when I first introduced the KCCC, this month's theme was February French and not only did we have fun making the recipes, we also celebrated Carina's birthday.

We started the night with a very easy, yummy and rich French Onion Soup and ended it off with DELICIOUS Creme Brulee - need I say more? 

Here are some photos of us doing it in French.

French Onion Soup:

After the soup had simmered for an hour; pop in the bread and the cheese
and bake it under the grill until the cheese is melted and crispy.

Creme Brulee:
