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!

Dinner

Great service and great food. Be sure to get the signature bang bang shrimp, along with the rainbow trout with mango salsa. For sides ordered coleslaw and potatoes au gratin. The whole meal including the bread and pesto on the table was fabulous.

Ask the manager at the next Bonefish Grill you visit where all the fishes you see on the wall are from, there is a very interesting back-story and the artist behind them.

Can you ever go wrong with mac and cheese? Can you ever go wrong with bacon? The combination of the two makes for a great starter before the seafood is rolled out.

The Bang Bang Shrimp is one of their signature dishes and another great starter to pair with the freshly baked bread and olive oil.

If you are a lover of fish and seafood in general this place is heavenly. All their entrees make the fish the star of the plate with an array of sides to choose from.
