Food Shows
1 August 2014 is around the corner and “oh my word-talk about being nervous” I just have so much going on and yes I also have found time to be nervous & worry & stress about this “bloggers/media mystery basket cook off”. I also have to admit very often some of my best creations have come from my own mystery basket-“whats in the fridge” or “whats in the pantry” kinda basket.
Good Food & Wine Show 2014-Joburg – stand H9-H16 has been reserved by Goldcrest where there are loads of fun activities for the whole family and some cool prizes to be won-check out their Schedule of Events and pick an event or indulge and be there for all of the events!!
So in keeping with the Goldcrest theme of “Packed” – I created this gorgeous flavourful salad that could be packed for school, work or picnic lunches.

In keeping with my Indian Tradition, I am sharing images of “Tiffin Packed Lunches” the most common packed lunches in India. The Tiffin transport is a business in India and the Lord alone knows how these “TIFFINWALLAS” distinguish each persons tiffin–But they do and they get it to the relevant destinations on time and piping hot. Now this is what you would called a proper “Packed” lunch.
All of the images in this post have been sourced from the internet and well done to those photographers who captured these stunning images
