So we have a weird, wacky and unique New Year tradition.
Waterballoon fight and jacuzzi relaxation
Paired with a flapjack buffet and outdoor movie night. We live in South Africa, and we currently have summer here.
I made our flapjack buffet a bit more special this year.
Melted chocolate ‘taco’ flapjack
Vanilla flapjack with sour cream, brie and fig.
Red flapjack with strawberries, blueberries and cream.
It is absolutely delicious. Never thought to upscale flapjacks before, but I was inspired.

Wow Leana, what a joyful and creative spread 🤩 That chocolate “taco” flapjack right in the center is such a showstopper! I love how you played with textures, shapes, and colors — there’s a vibrant rhythm to your plating that makes it really fun to explore.
What was the main inspiration behind combining bold contrasts like brie with sour cream and fresh fruit with cream? Your creativity truly shines here! 👏

@soldamiani thank you Sol, your message is a true inspiration.
My motivation — I like a plate of food that is full of small surprises. People usually compliment dishes where I combine brie with sour cream or camembert with creme fraiche.
What I loved most about this flapjack spread is that every bite held a small surprise, but as a whole it all still matched beautifully. Some bites had cream and cheese, others only fig. There were no two bites that tasted exactly the same. The white side was also more light and refreshing with less sweetness, while the red side had more sweet flavourbursts.
The chocolate flapjack in the middle was a straight chocolate explosion – sweet and decadent that melted in the mouth.

@leanaswan-c6e997 Oh wow… I’m honestly still savoring your description — what a *gorgeous* way to think about flavor: like a little journey, bite by bite 😍 Your love for contrast and surprise really shines through. That balance between unexpected pairings and overall harmony is such a powerful tool in the kitchen. You’re already creating plates that tell stories through texture and taste!
💡 Have you ever tried playing with temperature contrasts too? Like combining something cold and creamy with a warm, crumbly element? Or even adding a crispy note to highlight the soft textures you already work with so well?
Would love to see how you build on this concept in future creations. You’re onto something really special here… keep going! 👏🍽️
BTW… why don’t you add a profile picture? 😊 It’s a lovely way for us all to get to know each other by face and feel more connected as a community!-
@soldamiani Ooo thank you Sol, never considered such delicious contrasts before. Thank you for the inspiration 😍.
The app does not allow me to upload a profile picture, will see if I can do it on my computer.

@leanaswan-c6e997 Thanks a bunch for flagging the issue with the app profile picture — I just tested it myself and yep, something’s off. I’ve already reported it so the tech team can take a look 👩💻
And ahhh, your message made me smile! 😍 Love that you’re open to playing with unexpected contrasts — that spark of curiosity is what makes the kitchen your playground. I bet you´ll find out great combinations with your spirit! Let’s keep innovating! ✨
