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!
One of the best ice cream spots in town. It was a blessing they moved to DC. Jeni’s has such unique, bold flavours it is hard to go wrong. Although on the pricier side, every lick is worth it.

Founder Jeni Bauer’s combination of whole ingredients and grass-fed cattle pays off in the final product. A warning about this location - be prepared to wait in line. Everyone else can taste the difference.
