EGGS

Best way to boil eggs.

Place the eggs into a saucepan bring to a rapid boil - immediately take off the heat, place a lid on top and let sit about 15 minutes for hard, a little less if you want softer - working the time out for yourself is the best way. I usually do it for about 12 - 13 minutes.

After that time pour out the hot water and run cold over them, then leave to sit in cold water until cool.

To shell, roll the eggs over your sink until the shell is shattered.

DEVILLED EGGS

Shell the eggs. Cut into halves, take out the yolk. Mash in a bowl, add about 2 tablespoons (per 6 eggs) of whole egg mayonnaise (more if the yolks look dry), curry powder to your taste and about 4 tablespoons of chopped chives. Mix well then spoon back into the egg white halves. Sprinkle with paprika.

A couple of easy recipes using cabbage:

Using the outer leaves, slice finely. Melt a large knob of butter add in the cabbage and saute until limp. I always add a few tablespoons of caraway seeds.

Using the coarser inner leaves, slice finely. Melt a large knob of butter, saute a rasher or two of chopped bacon, sliced leek or small onion and a chopped granny smith apple (peeled and cored). After a couple of minutes and a few stirs add in the cabbage and about half a cup of water or chicken stock. Cook until cabbage is soft. Caraway seeds can be added as well. If you feel decadent you can add in some cream - about 1/2 cup or as desired.

I know it is not soup weather (although I had an Uncle who had soup everyday- even on the hottest of days in the North of SA), but I will add this soup. It is very, very nice.

Curried sweet potato soup

Orange-fleshed sweet potatoes have so much flavour that you can make this soup with boiling water rather than stock. Good old-fashioned curry powder gives it a wonderfully comforting aroma that quickly fills the house. Serves 4.

1 kg orange-fleshed sweet potato
1.2 litres boiling water or half water, half stock
sea salt and pepper
400 g canned white beans
1 tsp good curry powder, or more
2 tbsp parsley or coriander leaves

Peel the sweet potatoes and cut into small cubes. Add the boiling water or stock, sea salt and pepper and bring to the boil. Simmer for 15 minutes or until sweet potato is soft.
Drain the beans and rinse. Add half the beans and the curry powder, stirring well, then whiz in a food processor in batches, being careful not to overfill the bowl.
Return to the pan, add the remaining whole beans, and gently heat. If too thick, add extra boiling water. Taste for salt, pepper and curry powder, and scatter with parsley or coriander.
At stage 3, I add 1/2 can of coconut milk.
Next day (if any left over) you may find the soup has thickened. I add the rest of the coconut milk and some more chicken stock.
