Hello! Welcome to dontmissmyplate.

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!

Black-owned, Dessert

At Southwest Soda Pop Shop, you can get quite experimental with the toppings and flavors. The family-owned, black-owned business if definitely worth supporting and stands as one of the more unique dessert locations in the DC area.

You can get quite experimental with the toppings and flavours here. I tried one of their signatures and it was a great combination! The Birthday Cake Explosion has layers of butter pecan and birthday cake ice cream, actual birthday cake, and a chocolate chip cookie crumble at the bottom, topped with fresh cream and sprinkles. Southwest Soda Pop Shop is built around a favoured 'old school concept' and was a great addition to The Wharf.
