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!
A great burger joint in DC to join the ranks, head over when you can. Whether you are looking for a bit of peace on your own or are with the happy hour crew, you'll like this place. For my first drink I tried the dark and stormy cocktail (not on the HH menu but worth it). Plan on trying the mushroom and truffle one next time, but the capital burger and the cheese burger are absolutely delicious.
