Let's Make Simple Meals Right from Your Kitchen and Enjoy!

Even though I have known how to cook basic foods for years now thanks to my late mother and elder sister; the kitchen has become my favorite part of my home. Since the start of lockdown, I spent a lot more time in the kitchen and got into the habit of trying new recipes. One thing about me is that as much as I can be attracted to the recipes I come across on TikTok, YouTube, in a cookbook, or from my news updates; I will only use what I know I can afford and what I have available to me in the pantry or fridge.
I love making different sandwiches (normal or grilled) with brown bread or whole wheat bread only; pasta dishes like lasagna, mac/ spaghetti & mince; dumpling made from store-bought dough and beef shin or chuck; any quick and easy meals that can be made from chicken breast fillets; salad dressings; and even smoothies! For those (like myself) who have a sweet tooth, I have recently gotten into baking a little bit here and there, and I also love a good trifle, pancake or sponge cake.
As I have mentioned, the idea is to keep the meals simple if you want a quick lunch, dinner, or breakfast idea for yourself or several people. You will get the chance to see just how so much can be made from a chicken breast fillet to an egg or two!

About Me

I am a very approachable, patient and understanding lady with a sense of humor. Being in the kitchen and cooking or baking is therapeutic. I enjoy it as much as I enjoy yoga, running errands, playing with my dogs or watching movies!

I have made my fair share of mistakes in the kitchen like burning wors or adding too much seasoning to the meat, but I know what to do the next time because I know it's not the end of the world. Having a dad who has to watch his health, I do my best to not only cook up a storm in the kitchen, but to be very aware of which oils I use and how much salt or seasoning I use. I love to mix things up from cooking basic meals like chicken and rice, to lasagna, fish and veggies, and the occasional home-made burger and chips because I believe in rewards!

I would love to help people who enjoy cooking or who would love to develop their skills in the kitchen. I am not perfect, as I am also still in the process of experimenting in the kitchen, but whatever I am good at making, I am more than happy to help the next person become a chef of their own.

Education

I attended the St Dominic's Catholic School for Girls all from pre-school to high school and matriculated there. I then attended the University of Johannesburg from 2018 - 2021 and obtained my BA degree in Psychology followed by my BA (Honours) in Psychology.

Experience / Qualifications

I have tutored over 100 third year psychology students during each semester via online platforms. For this, I earned my certificate for Level 1 tutoring. In terms of cooking, I have shared meal prep and recipe content with several contacts.

Singapore & Southeast Asian Food Cooking Class Online
Have you ever travelled to Singapore, Malaysia, or other Southeast Asian countries and fallen in love with their food culture? Why not recreate the flavours in the comfort of your home, following easy-to-follow recipes with the guidance of a passionate Singaporean home cook? Born into a family of Spice Makers, I am a third-generation Spice Girl based in Switzerland. I learned the nuts and bolts of spice mixing from my father and cultivated the love of cooking from the OG Spice Lady Boss, my paternal grandmother aka ahmah. From a young age, I was exposed to the vibrant colours and aroma of fresh spices then as I grew older, watching and assisting my ahmah in the kitchen for our daily dinners was my favourite time of the day. Traditional Singaporean dishes such as Chicken Curry, Sambal Assam Fish, Rendang, and Sambal Prawns/Squid, Stir-fry KangKong (morning glory) are commonly found on our dinner table. For special occasions or not, we would also cook Nasi Lemak and Laksa and these two dishes have become my go-to comfort food whenever I miss my motherland. 1. Chicken Curry (non-vegetarian) Chicken Curry is an iconic Peranakan dish in South East Asia. Chicken and potatoes are stewed in spicy, rich and creamy coconut gravy. Usually served with rice but it is also delicious to be eaten with a French baguette or bread. 2. Laksa with Prawns/Vegetables (vegetarian-friendly) Traditional Laksa is a spicy noodle soup popular in the Peranakan cuisine of Southeast Asia. Laksa consists of thick wheat noodles or rice vermicelli in a thick broth made with spices, fresh aromatics and coconut milk. Common toppings include fried tofu puffs, fish cakes, shrimp, bean sprouts or other vegetables and minced fresh laksa leaves. 3. Meat Rendang (non-vegetarian) Meat Rendang is a Singaporean, Malaysian and Indonesian “dry” curry commonly made with red meat, spices and coconut milk which makes it spicy, rich and creamy. Beef rendang is considered by many to be the king of all curries as they are packed with complex flavours. 4. Sambal Assam Fish (non-vegetarian) Sambal Asam Fish is a classic Singapore, Malaysia and Indonesia dish which is addictively sour, tangy and spicy thanks to tamarind (Asam) and chilli. It is considered a healthy dish with lots of vegetables such as tomatoes, eggplant, lady’s fingers and fish with no coconut milk and tastes amazingly satisfying. 6. Bak Kut Teh (non-vegetarian) Bak kut teh, or pork ribs soup, is a popular traditional Chinese dish in Singapore. The dish consists of pork ribs stewed with a mixture of aromatic spices such as garlic, white pepper, black pepper, star anise, cinnamon and other spices. 7. Kueh Salat / Seri Muka It is a popular Singaporean and Malaysian Nyonya kueh (pastry) made with pressed glutinous rice layered with coconut egg custard (Kaya) flavoured with pandan. (steamer required) You will need: - Basic cooking equipment such as a saucepan, pots, knife, cutting board etc. - Cooking hob - A blender or a food processor - Apron Once a class is confirmed, I will be providing you: - A recipe card - An ingredient list. You will need to get the ingredients on your own before the class. - A packet of Anthony The Spice Maker's Spice Blend depending on what we are cooking. For local students (residing in Switzerland & Liechtenstein ) I will send you the spice blend free of charge. For international students, I will send you the spice blend but shipping fees are at your expense. The class will be conducted in English.
