Her two boundless loves in life are her Maine Coon-esque cats and quirky footwear.

I love food, street food in particular. On my travels I've spent many hours observing and learning how to master the art of street food. My focus is on Thai and Indian food in particular (at the moment at least). My blog is a testament to this love for food. My new venture, Fetty's Street Food Experience, takes me to people's homes where I teach them how to make authentic Thai and Indian food in comfort of their own homes as well as markets in Cape Town where you can sample the food I love most. (my website is under construction and will be live soon). If you're interested in home cooking demonstrations or lessons please get in...

I am an ambitious but sometimes lazy young woman with a passion for Africa, its poetry and intelligence! I am on a constant pursuit of virtue. I write because I have never been able to stop even in times when I doubt my ability. I adore my friends and family, and hold on tight to them as my anchors and feel an overwhelming need to make them proud. I am working my way into the media and communications industry in small ways because I can't think of anywhere else that has as much hands on influence on people and I believe there is so much good that can be done there. I hope you enjoy my articles as much as I enjoy writing them!

In a nutshell, I'm a foodie, Mom, home-maker and blogger - and I'm passionate about good food! My love for all things culinary began in childhood as I grew up with two grandmothers and a Mom who made just about everything from scratch. After school I went on to study Food & Nutrition and opened my own small business producing handmade food products for an upmarket food store in Cape Town. Five years later I decided to sell the business to pursue my other passion - travel! After spending nearly four years abroad I returned to Cape Town and took up a position as a Product Developer, which I did until I had my daughter two years later...

I am a qualified nutrition-based enthusiast. I hold an Advanced Diploma in Nutritional Medicine from the College Of Natural Therapies in Sydney. I have written a 32 page booklet on living on a budget. The aim of the book is to fulfill nutritional requirements even if income is low. The recipes are for two weeks of dinners coinciding with a centre-link assistance income, and simple to follow with practical tips on how to save on shopping as well as equipment needed to prepare the meals. With clinical experience of food as medicine,this underlies the philosophy in this field. Born in New Zealand and loves travelling.

II'm a homegrown Cape Town girl with a passion for writing. I love the simple things in life like laughing, joking and chatting; a smile is never too far from my face. I thrive on adventure; if it's a challenge and requires protective gear then I'm there. Along with my enthusiasm for all things creative, I am somewhat of a home body. A night spent in front of the TV with a slab of bubbly, is a night well spent. I have ambitions of traveling the world, reaching destinations that could only be envisioned in a dream. My travel bug has taken me to France, Italy, Switzerland, England and Portugal; all of which came with exciting stories....
