Chakalaka is a vegetable and bean relish­ originating in South Africa. The word chakalaka means “all together” in the Zulu language, which is exactly how this sauté and dump recipe goes. 

If you are dreaming of escaping to Africa but are unsure of the crowds in Marrakesh, this is the place for you. Essaouira is nestled on the coast of Morocco in North Africa. It's packed with all of the culture, colors and cuisine you want, but not the excessive amounts of people.

Within three episodes of watching the HBO series Game of Thrones (GoT), I knew I was hooked. I couldn’t resist seeing the drama of warring noble families unfold across Westeros and the Seven Kingdoms.

Steeped in ancient traditions and perfumed with an air of exotic adventure, Morocco offers an immersion into a world where mystery is still alive and fantasy becomes reality.
