8. Massaman curry
When the founder of Blue Elephant Royal Thai Cuisine chef Nooror Somany Steppe came to Cape Town, we had to get her into the TASTE kitchen. She made a massaman curry using the Blue Elephant range of Thai ingredients and shared the nostalgia behind it. Our version is made with beef but this is a very delicious dish, no matter the protein.

5. ClemenGold® polenta cake with dark chocolate ganache
Those who love citrus and chocolate pairings come to the front! Not only is this cake stunning, but it's also bursting with flavour. It has a lovely al dente bite thanks to ground almonds and polenta, and a sweet, honey-like flavour from the ClemenGold® zest and juice. To make the flavours pop even more, it also has a citrusy syrup that complements the dark chocolate ganache.

2. 5-ingredient Parmigiano Reggiano pasta
When you think of easy comfort food, we bet you think of pasta. This recipe is the epitome of easy comfort. Inspired by pastina, the pasta is cooked in vegetable or chicken stock to give it more flavour. Then, butter and 1½ cups of grated Parmigiano Reggiano are added to make it silky and cheesy in the best possible way.
