Hello! Welcome to Dontmissmyplate.

Thank you for visiting my website! I'm Maxine, a food blogger, home cook, travel enthusiast, and lover of food and culture. I’m passionate about fusion cuisine, a style of cooking that blends ingredients and techniques from different countries, regions, and traditions.

My approach is influenced by both Southern African and American cooking, shaped by my life experiences and reflected in the diversity of my recipes. I also focus on farm-to-table cooking, using fresh, seasonal ingredients sourced locally whenever possible. I believe food tastes best when it’s in season and close to its origin.

Travel plays a big role in how I cook and create. I love sharing my food adventures, from what I’ve eaten to where to eat, while discovering new flavors, cultures, and techniques that continue to inspire me.

I hope this space feels helpful and inspiring. Whether you're in the mood for something familiar or ready to try something new, you’ll find plenty to explore here. Happy cooking!

Mushroom, Broccoli and Cauliflower Stirfry

Mushroom, Broccoli and Cauliflower Stirfry

Mushrooms are an easy addition to any meal, especially for plant-based eaters or anyone looking for bold, veggie-forward flavors. They bring a deep, savory umami that adds richness without needing meat, making them perfect for a variety of dishes.

Stir-fries are a fantastic way to get dinner on the table fast without sacrificing flavor or nutrition. They’re incredibly versatile, you can swap in whatever vegetables you have on hand, experiment with different spices and sauces, and easily adjust portions to suit your appetite or crowd size. Stir-fries lock in vibrant color, texture, and nutrients, especially when you keep the cooking time short and the heat high.

If you’re looking for inspiration beyond this stir-fry, check out these other mushroom recipes, but there are so many more:

This recipe combines shiitake mushrooms, broccoli, and cauliflower with fresh garlic, ginger, and a punchy blend of spices for a simple yet satisfying dish. You can serve it as a light side or bulk it up with egg noodles for a heartier meal.

If you have a wok, great. If not, a large non-stick saucepan works just as well. Just be sure not to overcook the veggies, you want them to keep their crunch and nutrients.
