We recently did our styled Christmas shoot in Richardsbay and was privileged to be able to make use of one of the most lovilee houses I have been in to date. The house of Isabella van Schalwyk or ‘Bella Trien‘ as she is also known. As an artist she is constantly up to something, creating and prettifying. She spoilt us with a quiche lunch on the day, one of the quiches was a fig surprise one, and I must admit, I had three servings. This quiche is beyond yummy!
Isabella allowed us to share this lovilee recipe with you and suggests that it be served with a green salad.
