Starting the day off with Espresso ☕

The magical liquid created when water is forced through finely ground roasted seeds from a fruit cultivated and grown in central Africa and other such places. How bizarre yet I cannot live without it.

Making espresso has become a ritual for me as part of my morning routine. It has been integral to my mental health, and not just because of the caffeine.

I could talk about coffee for hours on end. Thinking about writing a blog post about it and maybe doing my next Radio Show/podcast on it...

What do you think?

The Flavours of Freedom 🇮🇱💛

Check out my new blog post using the link in my bio. This one is based on my Yom-Ha'atzmaut show on ChaiFM.

Living with a Professional Chef... 👨‍🍳

If you missed it, I was on .9 recently as a new presenter for the Essen Fressen (Cooking) Show! I thought it to be fitting for my first ever episode to have my biggest fan and my biggest critic on. She is my soulmate and my partner in crime.

We spoke about what it's like to actually live with a chef in your home. SPOILERS! It's not 7 course tasting menus every night.

If you didn't catch it live, check out the podcast link in my bio.

Follow me and my stories to see my next show! Tuesday @ 11:00am

It's been a while... 😅

While I have been vlogging quiet consistently, I have not been making regular posts. As I have said in my vlogs and in some stories towards the end of last year, I was not in a good space. But I'm not going to dwell on that.

We are moving forward. Onwards and upwards! With the help of Hashem, I am going to be posting more regularly! I'm going to aim for 2-3 times a week but let's see what happens.

My Vlogs will remain as a window to see behind the scenes of what I Chef Dan, get up on a regular basis. I am going to use posts for more formalised content.

I want to share some of the amazing things I have seen, learnt and cooked!

So if you haven't already, hit that follow button to see more amazing things coming from me soon!

Photo creds: This guy is incredible! Please give him a follow too!

✡️ What a special experience!!! ✡️

My father and I were invited to to help a group of international travellers make a minyan.

Being able to spend time with my father is special enough but to have the opportunity to travel to such a beautiful place, to experience the South African bush and to be able to daven together was truly special in a way that words cannot describe.
