Thank you for visiting my website! I'm Maxine—a food blogger, home cook, travel enthusiast, and all-around lover of food and culture. In other words, I’m passionate about fusion cuisine—a style of cooking that blends ingredients and techniques from different countries, regions, and cultures.
My approach is shaped by both Southern African and American influences, reflecting my life experiences and making my recipes diverse and dynamic. I also love traveling and sharing my food adventures with you, from what I ate to where to eat, while discovering new flavors and techniques along the way.
I hope you find this website helpful and inspiring. Whether you're looking for something familiar or eager to try something new, there's something here for everyone. Enjoy exploring, and happy cooking!
This is one of my favorite items on the menu at Lyon Hall. The fresh platter of doughnuts is so delightful. For your savory kicks, try the avocado benedict. It comes with a fresh arugula salad, which balances out the croissant. The benedict comes with two poached eggs. I am looking forward to tasting other menu items. A hidden gem in Arlington, definitely check this place out for brunch.
