I have had many weird adventures, allot of them involve my darling sister Miss Isla Louise. I have had many friends in my life that have come and gone, or too see at a later stage in my life,when we connect again, BUT with a sister you never seem to lose that connection.
Isla is one of those people that you can truly be happy to say you have known, she lights up a room with her presence she is not a huge personality but once you get to know her she is witty and has an infectious laugh, that you find yourself laughing away too.
I have never in my life met someone who is so passionate about food in my life, from " Bill Granger's inspired scramble recipes to a bit of Nigella Lawson in the evening". Isla lives to cook and her presentation of her food is so eye catching you feel like your in a dream, allot of her food is her creation.
Isla can make you something as simple as a burger and make it five star, I've gone out to restaurants and felt disappointed by the food because i live in a five star home, with every meal she puts her whole heart into it and its not fattening its all healthy organic food.
I recently discovered that I am gluten in tolerant and hypoglycemic which rules out so much food, but she makes a plan and makes it specially for me; pastas that you would die for and pay R 200 a plate easily. I have the pleasure to live with someone who inspires me every day to find a dream because she has found hers, she wakes up every morning and till evening she is cooking and has a smile on her face.
She is like a sunflower that just brightness up a dinner table ,because she gives that much more to make the dinner you are eating delightful.
We travelled Australia together finding restaurants and having some fun experience, eating out and enjoying a bit of vino ( more isla she has a great pallet for putting wines together with food)
Isla is also a journalist, and hope she will write for a food magazine one day because they need someone like her to inspire up and coming chefs, her words flow so well. She is very passionate about being a south African, and believes that everyone is equal and she will not hide her knowledge for politics, which she is very clued up on.
There are so many things i can tell you about Isla Louise, she is beautiful and loving and I'm so honoured every day to call her my sister.
Go try some of her pastries at the farmers market, take a bit of her inspiration with you and spread the love she bakes in the kitchen, because i know your day will be just that much better.
