I use as my overarching framework the notion of “learning through food,” i.e., learning about people and cultures through the foods they prepare and consume; the recipes which have been passed down, shared and adapted over time; and the meaning behind the meal. Situated within an ethnographic approach to food and a passion for "feeding the experience," I extend my foodie platform to include the cutting board, the in-between from farm to table. Bon appétit and ukonwabele ukutya kwakho!

Continuing Televisual Inspiration: Homemade Ravioli and Steak au Poivre
Taking a cue from Wednesday's episode of MasterChef, I tried my hand at homemade ravioli--stuffed with goat cheese and spinach and served in a parmesan brown butter sauce--and carried on with my French fare by accompanying that with a clear French dish, steak au poivre, with a spicy red wine au jus.
Blog post in the works...
Filled with a mix of spinach and chèvre (i.e., goat cheese), my pasta dough recipe saw the addition of milk, and I finally got around to cooking the pasta past it's typical doughy texture as I've had it in previous recipes. Paired with a Parmesan brown butter sauce, the ravioli weren't quite perfect but they were perfectly delicate as they should be. For more photos, click here.
