I had such fun zooming in with Izelle Hoffman for the Hirsch's Kitchen Capers in our beautiful Bosch show kitchen at Hirsch's Centurion.
Here are my recipes, give them a try and let me know what you think
Vegan Bean Stew
Variation add a double espresso shot to the sauce pan along with the tomato puree to create a richer gravy. This is also a great hack when making savoury pies. If you add espresso to the filling it creates a rich dark gravy.

Vegan Ice Cream
Variation: Leave out the cookies and turn it into a coffee ice cream by adding a 60ml double espresso shot while simmering the ingredients, then stir in 30ml of instant coffee before freezing the mixture.
Ingredients
1 Can coconut milk - 1 Can coconut cream
125ml White sugar - 600ml Golden syrup or maple syrup 2.5ml Vanilla powder - 10ml Vanilla extract
Instructions The day before, place the freezer bowl of your ice cream maker into the freezer to freeze properly. Next, place all the ingredients (except for the vanilla) into a pot and bring to a simmer- stirring all the while.As soon as it reaches a simmer, remove from the heat, add the vanilla extract and vanilla powder and using an immersion (handheld) blender, blend for 30 seconds. You can also transfer to a blender jug and blend it in that- just ensure the lid is on very firmly. Pour the mixture into a container, cover and chill in the refrigerator overnight. The next day, pour the chilled mixture into your ice cream maker and churn as per the ice cream makers instructions. Can be 20-40 mins. When it reaches soft serve consistency, move to a loaf pan or another freezer safe container, smooth down with a spoon, cover and place into the freezer for a few hours to set. When you’re ready to serve, place Oreo cookies into the food processor (around 2 cookies per person) and process into a fine crumble. Sprinkle this over the ice cream and top with half a cookie. Will keep in the freezer but best when fresh. Scoop with a hot scoop (dipped in hot water) to allow for easier serving.
