Lets get cooking

I've never been much of a recipe follower when to comes to cooking.  Baking yes, but not cooking.
I ended up on Jamie Oliver's website the other for some dinner inspiration and I'm totally loving it!  It's a great start for me because he makes simple, yet delicious meals - the best thing is they don't take a lot of time - a thing I don't have much of after work and gym / going for a run.

I always end up with a million printed pages that either never get tried or the ones I'd like to to again get lost somewhere in one of many paper piles.   I'm sure some of you know exactly what I mean?

So - my latest project - and excuse to go to Typo (yes I have a slight stationary fetish) is to start a cook book with all the recipes I love and would like to make again.  I can either write them in and decorate the pages if I'm feeling creative, or I can just stick the printed page right in there - easy!

Let me know what you think or if you have done something similar.  I'd love to hear / see!  You can either comment below or tag me with @tanjadebruyn or use #sweetpeasunrise on Instagram.


I found a large, bound, hard cover (and obviously very cute!) book and also got some colourful paper strips on sale to decorate some pages.






I'll let you know when I've added a few recipes to show you what it looks like :)  In the meantime if you want to share some recipes with me - please do!

Good night for now...

Sunny Saturday & Sunday

It's been so wet and cold here in Cape Town the last couple of weeks.  It's been so misarable.
This weekend however we had the most amazing sunny weather.  It's been such a pleasure that we couldn't help but make the most of it.   Here are some pics of what we were up to:

Saturday explorings


Strong cappuccino for me and Horlicks milkshake for Joe

Can you tell the time?
 


About to head onto the 'Boomslang'

I bought myself a new camera on Sunday morning - so had to go for a little stroll along the Sea Point Promenade to try it out - what do you think?


Having a little 'me' moment captured by Joe

Lunch was so good at The Tea Room on Saturday we had to g o back for more..


And yes I had this waffle for lunch!  I saw someone have it on Saturday and I just HAD to try it!  It did NOT disappoint!


Hope you all have a good week! 

I'll be back again soon,
