One of my favourites. Taken in Nice just before @d_dig_giddy_dave and I sat on the light grey pebble beach for a coffee and some welcomed Vitamin D ☺️.

Swapped Cape Town and coffee ☕ for bikinis 👙 and beaches.
.
I'm currently in Mauritius, spending 98% of my time in the sea and 2% in the kitchen 😄. It's a good combo. ✌️

Oooooooooooowie! It's only been a week into 2020 and man is it going 😅. Guys I really need to stay up to date this year with all my happenings because there is some pretty cool stuff on the go (if I do say so myself) that is worth while sharing 😊.
.
For now I'm just going to leave these pretty pictures of a recipe I did a few months back in london. It's for a quick soda bread (tastes like farm seed loaf 🤤). I lightly toast it and top with fresh fruit and a BAD ASS (budget friendly) home made cashew butter made in my VERY shitty food processor in London 😅.
.
That's all for now. I am melting Durbs but tomorrow its back to JHB and work work work 😬. Good luck if you're back on the grind.
.
With love from,
Frances xx

One of my happy places 🐥☕🍰, Swan Cafe.
.
Its a real gem of Cape Town, one of the best places to receive exceptional service that is far above the rest and an ambiance that never let's you leave.
.
Swan has also been my escape from one of the biggest #reallife experiences that I have been dealing with and that comes with all the joy of working as a freelancer.
LONELINESS.
.
To be very real with you, I'm very fortunate as I really enjoy my own company and have never truly struggled with that feeling of loneliness like some do but eventually it does start to become present. There is nothing wrong with it, acknowledging it, speaking about it or sharing the experience we have with it. I have learnt over the past year to really enjoy my own company and some quiet time when I get it but to also keep it in balance with a little outside world interaction as well😅🌍👫🚴🏼‍♂️🚣🏼‍♀️💃🕺🌞.
.
Side note: I keep seeing everyone sharing their plans for their insta content this year and feel a little... Bad? for not doing the same. TBH with you, I can't promise what this year will bring, the exact content to be expected or its schedule on my page but what I can promise, is that it will be real, informative, sometimes funny and always straight from the heart.
.
With love from,
Frances

I love how romantic I can make my life on insta look when it is pretty much everything but that but that😱😂🙃!
.
I was in Hackney a couple weeks back and didn't really know where I was (I'm a bad explorer 😅) on a coffee shop hoppin mission.
.
I didn't accidently wander in to this gorgeous plant cafe, I RAN IN COMPLETE PEE PANIC (don't judge me, I'm not the only one).
.
So this is a message to all my friends (you know who you are) that want to open up a gorgeous jungle like cafe.... Make a GIANT sign, like HUGE, with flashing lights to the bathroom or you will get crazy espresso fueled customers like I was coming in, ackwardly dancing around begging for the bathroom. True story, too often 🙆🙈.

And then for the shortest time, the sun came out to say 👋during some quiet time with a minty cup of matcha 🍵. I still can't believe its my last day in London for the year! First stop Joberg and then to CT 😍I go. I can't wait to see everyone and get back to some exciting WERK!

I'M SORRY?!?! Its what I have been wanting to say to you for the longest time because I kept feeling so guilt BUT I won't appologise! because I have been coming and going from IG since the beginning of the year and felt like I had to post and keep gaining followers or otherwise someone would be upset or that someone was expecting me to share my life's details or keep them excited for more content but that's NOT TRUE.
.
I am not an instagramer, I am a chef. I don't create content or share recipes for likes or approval, I share what I am up to for my friends (you) that are interested and family because I think it's interesting or that it will be of some benefit to others.
.
WHAT I WANT TO SAY is thank you!!!!! To everyone in my life! you are amazing and your support and kindness has been outstanding this year. I am looking forward to sharing because I want to and not because I feel like I have to 😊 🧚‍♀️🙃. & Thanks to @juaneventer.com_ for that this one! She is the only one for can deal with my camera shyness.

Monday Brunching with this cutie (yup I'm referring to my food) and jamming to some summery beats courtesy of @thegoodroots.

Oh and for those wondering, my sexy bowl is an apple crumble porridge bowl that blows my mind every time I have it. Beyond basic but always a treat. The warm walnuts make it. Xx

First recipe share of 2019 🌞🧚‍♀️👌 I want to keep my recipes simple this year, made with only a few ingredients and allow their flavours pop and be true. Today I made an easy Lime & Coconut Soup 🤤😍🙂.
.
This soup is
Punchie
Fresh
Light
Floral
Easy
Vegan & Delicious 💁🏼‍♀️
.
RECIPE:
Serves: 2 - 3
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cooking time: 25 minutes
Ingredients:
- 2 garlic cloves, sliced
- 1 onion, sliced
- 1 small handful of dried lime leaves (12)
- 1 tbsp oil
- 1 tbsp Thai curry paste (optional)
- 1 tsp turmeric powder - 1 cup vegetable stock
- 1 cup water
- 1 x 400ml tin of coconut milk
- *medium sized sweet potato, chopped
- *courgettes/green veggies, chopped - *noodles - 1 small handful of fresh coriander, chopped
Method:
1. Heat the oil in a medium sized pot
2. Add the onion and garlic, saute until soft and translucent.
3. Add the curry paste (if using), turmeric and lime leaves, fry for 1 minute.
4. Add the liquid and potato, then allow the soup to simmer until the sweet potato is partially cooked.
5. Add the remaining ingredients and cook until the pasta is al dente and the potato is fully cooked.
6. Remove from the heat, season well with salt and the juice of 1 lime or half a lemon. Seasoning really makes the flavours POP and will taste a little boring without it, so don't be shy 💁🏼‍♀️. Also you can add a dash of soy sauce/tamari (the gluten free version) this will add complexity and depth to your soup.
7. Stir in the fresh coriander and serve.
