“The Yumcious catering offerings are real crowd-pleasers. Whether you are planning an informal supper for a family get-together or a special occasion for friends, you can be assured of happy faces and plenty of compliments when you serve any of these dishes. I have had the pleasure of cooking for several high-profile people – Prince Charles, Presidents Thabo Mbeki and FW de Klerk, Vice President Al Gore, Kenneth Kaunda, King Goodwill Zwelithini, Charlize Theron, Graham Norton, and the Duke and Duchess of Kent, to name but a few – and I treated them all the same as I would the man on the corner. I have approached every catering job as if I was cooking for my own family; I have never cut corners or used substandard ingredients, and I only prepare food that I like to eat myself. I cater weddings, funerals, birthdays, product launches, you name it. I love designing the menu around my client’s needs, imaging what they would like to serve their guests. But more than anything, I simply love feeding people so catering will always hold a special place in my heart.” - Jenny Morris

The Be Strong and Courageous Floral Notebook is the perfect companion to capture your thoughts!
God wants your heart. The whole Bible teaches truth and awakens
emotions, but the Psalms are in a category of their own. They do not
just awaken the heart; they put it in the foreground. They do not
merely invite our emotions to respond to God’s truth; they put our
emotions on display.
Vrou-wees is nie altyd maklik nie. Vroue moet sterk en onafhanklik

hulle geloof.
The Be Still and Know Notebook is the perfect companion to capture your thoughts!

God wil jou hart hê. Die hele Bybel is vol waarheid en werk in ons

– hulle plaas ons hart op die voorgrond. Hulle nooi nie net ons emosies
om op God se waarheid te reageer nie – hulle stel ons emosies ten toon.
Wil jy graag ’n sterker, inniger verhouding met Jesus hê? ’n Mens bou
