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!
Look Up Dessert Café never disappoints me I love it. They cater to all levels of a sugar rush, offering cakes, bubble tea, frozen yogurt, macaroons, and of course my favorite bingsu parfaits or shaved ice. The bingsu is to die for (Korean-inspired dessert). I have done the tiramisu and the chocolate, and probably will go for the birthday cake flavor next.
