Get to know me better

Cooking and baking is my joy — I turn everyday ingredients into heartwarming meals and unforgettable treats!

Hi, I’m Simphiwe! I’ve been cooking and baking since forever; my family can definitely attest to that. From festive Christmas feasts to special birthdays, I’ve been sprinkling love (and a little magic) into every dish. During COVID, I baked a strawberry cake for my youngest sister’s birthday she hardly ever loves cakes, but she devoured every bite! I also made a coconut cake for my other sister, and she still talks about it years later.

I’m especially known for my home-cooked South African meals my stew is a family favorite and I rarely cook with salt, since I cater to my dad’s high blood pressure. I love taking requests at home, whether it’s cinnamon rolls, weekly cookies, or homemade burgers for my mom. I make everything from scratch because cooking and baking is my joy, and I pour my heart into every plate. I may not have professional experience, but I’d love to show you what I can do creating meals that make people smile and feel at home is my specialty!
