Nom Nom Nom

This one is for the foodies out there!!

 Now I am in no way, shape or form (excuse the pun) headed for a career on the cat walk or swim suit editions of Vogue and I have come to peace with this fact. So instead of trying to do an all-liquid diet, no carbs after five, a tea only day (my own invention) or my favourite: cutting out EVERYTHING that has sugar in it – yeah right – I am now happy to indulge in whatever delicious treats come my way.

You see the key is not to cut out food groups or food altogether, or tasting food and then throwing it back up again, the key is, everything in moderation. Being the little piggy I am, this is still an on-going battle I am trying to win; striking a balance. It is, however, an extremely difficult feat when your boss buys 5 cakes at a time, making sure he finds out what your favourite is first as well as the fact that the chef on board is extremely proficient at dessert-making as he is an ex-pastry chef.

As a stewardess, its difficult to make it to meal times when guests are on board because we are at their beck and call and when we do get to sit down for five minutes we stuff as much as we can down our gullets because we don’t know when we will get another chance. I suppose that is also why we get extremely fat during the winter months, we are busy preparing ourselves for the busy summers. Anyway, I have picked out my favourite starter, main and dessert that (fellow safa) Bruce Marais has made so far and thought I should share that as well as a few other amazing meals I have been fortunate enough to sample.

Favourite Starter: Crumbed goats cheese with a baked fig.

Favourite Main: Grilled duck with beetroot, carrot and spinach, topped with an orange sauce

Favourite Salad: Salmon, quails eggs, beetroot, rose petal, and truffle salad

Favourite Dessert: Chocolate fondont 

Other delicious treats!
