WATCH: IN THE KITCHEN WITH GOOD LOOKING & COOKING’S CLAIRE WINSTANLEY

There’s nothing more satisfying that watching a delicious-looking meal being prepared (sometimes we try replicating the recipes too!). YouTube is a food lover’s haven of amazing inspiration and how-to videos, and now South Africa has their own internet cooking whizz, Claire Winstanley. Having honed her presenting skills on national television for many years, and her cooking skills for a lot longer than that, Claire launched her own YouTube channel called Good Looking & Cooking earlier this year.

It’s been so successful that we sent our editor to her kitchen for a crash course on how to make a proudly Capetonian treat – with a twist! Check it out below then scroll down for the full recipe.

MILK TART POPSICLES

Ingredients
• 3 free-range eggs
• 100g castor sugar

Method
For the custard:
1 Whisk the eggs, sugar and vanilla until combined, then set aside.
2 Mix half a cup of milk with the corn flour and salt until smooth.
3 Whisk the milk mixture into the egg mixture, then set aside.
4 Pour the remaining milk into a pot and bring to just before boiling. Remove from the heat and slowly pour it into the egg mixture, whisking continuously.
