The final stage of the sudden death knock out rounds sees eclectic Kate Liquorish come up against the healthy vegetarian cooking of Usha Singh.
Both blogs celebrate the abundance of exciting local produce and Usha uses them to promote Indian vegetarian delights while Kate focuses on exciting and cheeky food for friends and family.
Two diverse personalities and cultures battle it out in the Dinner Divas kitchen.
Kate Liquorish
Actress, writer, lover of all things foodie…a little mad really. My blog is ‘undomestiKATEd‘ because my name is Kate and I like clever things, like puns. I was born and ‘bread’ in Joburg and love it here. To try a new recipe, to throw a dinner party, to drink delicious wines, to try and fail, to laugh and eat…TO SHARE! This is what I love, it is who I am.
“It’s cheeky, it’s eclectic, it’s about celebrating the abundance of exceptional ingredients we have in this country and inspiring people to use them innovatively. It’s about cooking from the heart but with a little something extra, putting smiles on people’s faces, it’s inviting and exciting food. It’s about cooking for a new South African family, bringing people together; dinner parties, frivolity and fun.”
The Menu
Tomato Tarte Tatin with goats cheese and rocket
Fish in Parma Ham with lemon & chive butter bean mash
Chocolate, pear and lavender cakes
Usha Singh
I am Usha Singh, devotee to healthy, vegetarian Indian cuisine. Through my blog, Healthy Vegetarian Foods, I want to make people aware that vegetarian food is not boring at all! I am blessed with two sons live in Gauteng.
“My blog was born in February 2011 because I want to show people that eating vegetarian meals need not mean eating bland, boring, flavorless food. Whether vegetables are part of a Meatless Monday initiative, or simply the food of choice, browsing through my blog, you will find many simple recipes packed with flavour, nutrition and texture. These recipes will empower the reader to create amazing vegetarian dishes that will appeal to all of us that make up “the Rainbow Nation of the melting pot of South Africa.”
The Menu
Spinach Bhajia served with sweet chilli sauce
