To all my inbox voyeurs, brothers and sisters, tha To all my inbox voyeurs, brothers and sisters, thank you for reaching out and sharing your journeys with me. I see you. I hear you. I love you. I know you’re scared, but please know that you, and you alone, are the producer, director, writer, star and audience of your movie. You get to decide how it ends. May it be the ending I know you deserve. #liveyourtruth #liveyourlife #youareenough #lifeistooshort #loveislove #lgbt #husbands

What’s your favourite comfort food? Close to my What’s your favourite comfort food? Close to my heart is Gujarati-style Kadhi Khichdi, which is essentially slightly mushy, overcooked rice and lentils served with a yoghurt and chickpea flour curry ‘sauce’. When I was growing up, my late dad, who was Hindu and a strict vegetarian, insisted that my mum prepare it at least once a week and I soon came to understand why he loved it so much. It’s nurturing, soothing to the constitution and unapologetically humble and sincere. My mum shared the Vagar-family Kadhi Khichdi recipe with Chris many years ago - and I find it ever-amusing, heartwarming and endearing that my hubby, a self-proclaimed “Gora” Afrikaans boytjie who grew up in Phalaborwa - about as far removed from Navsari, India (where the Vagar’s hail from) as you can imagine - is ever-ready, at my slightest request, to lovingly and faithfully recreate my mum’s recipe with the kind of authenticity that (by her own admission) even rivals hers. Thank you Mr Smit! #kadhikhichdi #kadhikhichri #gujarati #gujaratifood #navsari #indian #indianfood #rice #lentils #yoghurt #coriander #thali #foodporn #foodphotography #vegetarian

After our cardiologist pointed out that the Omega After our cardiologist pointed out that the Omega 3 anti-inflammatory benefits of farmed salmon are negated by the inflammation-promoting Omega 6 content of their commercial feed, we’ve switched to servings of sardines and mackerel for them lovely heart-friendly EPA’s and DHA’s. I’ve tried six ways from Sunday to present humble tinned fish in sexy and exciting ways - and then the chef hubby reminded me of the phyllo pastry canapés he prepared on the Afrikaans TV food series we produce together - and voilà, a new spécialité de la maison was instantly born! Mr Smit does the homemade mayo, to which I add the fish, fresh dill, chives, a crackle of pepper and sometimes finely chopped gherkins or peppadews, mix and stuff the cups, and finish off with fresh sprouts. Delicious! 😋 #sardines #mackerel #phyllo #pastry #canapes #sprouts #fingerfood #omega3 #dha #epa #healthyeating #healthyfood #foodporn

Climate change is real. We need to get woke, angry and mobilized - and stop playing band members on the deck of the Titanic. Peace out Lovers. ✌🏽 #sunset #cloudporn #vineyards #mountains #countrylife #istandinsolidaritywithyou #climatechange
