RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
I'm a South African expat living and working in Dubai with my partner of 17 years and our three children, Christopher (16), Jemma (13) and Michael(10). I'm addicted to cookbooks and at last count owned 40 - I think its more of an obssession than an addiction.
Love to cook, my favourite way to relax, especially when all the kids join me in the kitched. Just wish I had more time!!
