Homemade Chocolate Sauce

Butter – 6 tablespoon
Ground sugar – 6 tablespoon
Milk – 6 tablespoonn
Cocoa powder – 2 tablespoon
Cornflour – 3 tablespoon



Mix all the ingredients and than cook on medium heat to a smooth custardy consistency.
Stir all the time.
Remove from heat and cool by keeping over cold water (stir consistently)


  • You can adjust the quantity of ingredients according to your taste. This sauce has a delicious taste. Of course not like the superstore branded sauce which contains many additives and taste modifiers as well. 
  • But than as I say for a healthy, organic lifestyle, some adjustments will have to made!


Homemade Cheese

Farm fresh milk – ½ a litre (2 glasses)
Yougurt- 250ml
Muslin cloth




Bring milk to boil. Add yogurt. Milk will quickly cuddle. Stir for 5-10 min.
Remove from flame until all the milk has precipitated.
Drain & squeeze in a muslin cloth. Leave it in a hanging position, to drain all the liquid.
Leave for 7—8 hrs or until well formed. Now remove from the muslin cloth. A shapely cheese block is ready!

  • This homemade cheese gives a tangy, course taste, different from the superstore cheese.
  • It is course in texture. Doesn’t melt like manufactured cheese, so can be used in stuffed chicken breasts (wont leak)
