These seeded pita chips with baked Camembert and honey-roasted grapes is one of them! Prep is all of five minutes and your oven does the rest in under 15.

You\u2019ve got to be kidding! Actually we\u2019re not. It\u2019s a real thing and Romans have been savouring it for ages. Of course they call it pizza con le patate, which admittedly sounds a lot more impressive than potato pizza. There is no tomato base and zero cheese, so it\u2019s kinder to the waistline and your vegan friends can come to dinner.<\/p>\n<p>You\u2019ll need:<\/p>\n<p>For the pizza dough &#8230; 400g bread flour; 100g semolina; 1 packet (10g) instant yeast; 1\/4 tsp salt; 260ml lukewarm water; 40ml milk; 1 tsp honey<\/p>\n<p>For the topping &#8230; 1kg baby potatoes (sliced as thinly as possible using a mandolin); 3 sprigs fresh rosemary; garlic-flavoured olive oil; Cape Herb &amp; Spice Savoury spice<\/p>\n<p>To make:<\/p>\n<p>Mix the flour, semolina, yeast and salt. Gradually add the water and mix. Add the milk and honey to the last bit of water and add to the dough. Knead for 12 minutes. Put the dough, brushed with olive oil, in a large clean bowl, cover with cling film and a tea towel and put in a nice warm spot for an hour to an hour and a half until the dough has doubled in size.<\/p>\n<p>Knock it back to remove all the air, cut into 4 equal pieces and shape into balls.<\/p>\n<p>While the bread proves, parboil the potatoes in plenty of salted water until just tender \u2013 it takes mere minutes. Drain, dry and toss with a generous glug of olive oil so everything is well coated.<\/p>\n<p>To assemble the potato pizza, roll out dough on a sheet of non-stick baking paper. Brush with garlic-flavoured oil.<\/p>\n<p>Pack with potatoes, dust with Tastebud Savoury spice and sprinkle generously with rosemary leaves. Grind over black pepper and give it a final tiny splash of olive oil. Place the pizza with the baking paper (this makes it so much easier to handle!) on a preheated non-stick baking tray or a hot pizza stone and bake at 200 \u00b0 Celsius for 10 to 15 minutes until done.<\/p>\n<p>Drizzle a bit of lemon juice and olive oil over the rocket, give it a grinding of black pepper and pile onto the potato pizza along with a few shaving of Parmesan or pecorino (not for the vegans!) Tuck in right away while it\u2019s warm. This recipe makes 4 medium potato pizzas.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-3677\" src=\"https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/highway-berea\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2019\/09\/Tastebud-savoury-pizza-hi-res-Large-400x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/highway-berea\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2019\/09\/Tastebud-savoury-pizza-hi-res-Large-400x300.jpg 400w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/highway-berea\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2019\/09\/Tastebud-savoury-pizza-hi-res-Large-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/highway-berea\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2019\/09\/Tastebud-savoury-pizza-hi-res-Large-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/highway-berea\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2019\/09\/Tastebud-savoury-pizza-hi-res-Large-80x60.jpg 80w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/highway-berea\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2019\/09\/Tastebud-savoury-pizza-hi-res-Large-265x198.jpg 265w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/highway-berea\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2019\/09\/Tastebud-savoury-pizza-hi-res-Large-696x522.jpg 696w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/highway-berea\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2019\/09\/Tastebud-savoury-pizza-hi-res-Large-1068x801.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/highway-berea\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2019\/09\/Tastebud-savoury-pizza-hi-res-Large-560x420.jpg 560w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/highway-berea\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2019\/09\/Tastebud-savoury-pizza-hi-res-Large.jpg 1440w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>Zesty prawn and zucchini pasta<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Eating light and bright is always a good idea, but in summer we really crave it.

Umami. Umami means \u2018pleasant savoury taste\u2019 in Japanese. It\u2019s that indescribable savoury yumminess one finds in everything from rich beef stock broths to aged Parmesan cheese. This dish is all umami deliciousness.<\/p>\n<p>You\u2019ll need:<\/p>\n<p>3 Tblsps butter; Cape Herb &amp; Spice Tastebud Umami; 1 free-range chicken; 4 large leeks; 1 garlic bulb; 3 large carrots; olive oil; 1 cup good quality chicken stock<\/p>\n<p>To make:<\/p>\n<p>Mix butter with 2 tsps Umami spice. Use your fingers to gently separate the skin on the chicken breast from the flesh and push the spiced butter under the skin. Spread it out evenly so the entire breast is covered in butter. This is not essential, but is a clever trick to keep the breast \u2013 the driest part of a chicken \u2013 nicely moist.<\/p>\n<p>Peel and quarter the carrots. Slice garlic bulb in half widthwise. Remove green parts of the leeks, slice in half lengthways and rinse well under running water to remove hidden grit.<\/p>\n<p>Place leeks, garlic and carrots in a roasting tray. Place the chicken on top of the vegetables, lightly drizzle the bird with olive oil and dust with Umami spice mix. Pour the chicken stock in the roasting tray and place, uncovered, in an oven preheated to 200 \u00b0 Celsius. Roast until the chicken is cooked through but still moist. The time it takes depends on the size of the chicken. Test it after an hour by stabbing the fold of the thigh with a sharp knife. If the juices that run out are clear, the chicken is ready. If the juices are slightly pink, give it another bit of oven love. Pour off the cooking jus that formed in the roasting tray and serve with the chicken, fluffy mash and a green salad for a seriously no-work umami-yummy dinner.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-3678\" src=\"https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/highway-berea\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2019\/09\/Tastebud-UMAMI-CHICKEN-HI-RES-Large-400x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/highway-berea\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2019\/09\/Tastebud-UMAMI-CHICKEN-HI-RES-Large-400x300.jpg 400w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/highway-berea\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2019\/09\/Tastebud-UMAMI-CHICKEN-HI-RES-Large-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/highway-berea\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2019\/09\/Tastebud-UMAMI-CHICKEN-HI-RES-Large-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/highway-berea\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2019\/09\/Tastebud-UMAMI-CHICKEN-HI-RES-Large-80x60.jpg 80w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/highway-berea\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2019\/09\/Tastebud-UMAMI-CHICKEN-HI-RES-Large-265x198.jpg 265w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/highway-berea\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2019\/09\/Tastebud-UMAMI-CHICKEN-HI-RES-Large-696x522.jpg 696w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/highway-berea\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2019\/09\/Tastebud-UMAMI-CHICKEN-HI-RES-Large-1068x801.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/highway-berea\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2019\/09\/Tastebud-UMAMI-CHICKEN-HI-RES-Large-560x420.jpg 560w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/highway-berea\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2019\/09\/Tastebud-UMAMI-CHICKEN-HI-RES-Large.jpg 1440w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>Spicy shakshuka<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Shakshuka is one of those marvellously versatile dishes that can be a class-act breakfast, a quick lunch or a satisfying dinner. High in protein, low in fat and packed with seriously good-for-you vitamins and lycopene (thanks to all that tomato), if you\u2019ve never made shakshuka before, now\u2019s the time to try. It couldn\u2019t be easier. You could make one large family-style dish or, for something a touch more elegant, individual shakshuka dishes.

Put the lid on the pan and turn heat to its lowest setting. Allow sauce to cook for 10 minutes. (All the ingredients are already cooked at this point, but you need to give the flavours time to mingle and mature.)<\/p>\n<p>Use the back of a spoon to make four indentations in the tomato sauce. Break an egg into each indentation, put on the lid and gently simmer until eggs are done to your liking. If you\u2019re making individual shakshuka dishes, spoon the tomato mix into oven-proof ramekins, add one or two eggs to each dish and bake them in a 180 \u00b0 Celsius oven until done to you liking. Top shakshuka with a dollop of cr\u00e8me fraiche or yoghurt, prosciutto and wild rocket and serve with some crusty baguette or ciabatta.
