Hertzoggies (Jam & coconut tartlets)
This traditional South African sweet treat is actually very simple to make and ever so popular. Use my added twist and get creative by using different types of jams for the filling. A homemade pastry will be ideal, but I used a good-quality shop-bought short crust pastry and it works really well. Just follow the steps to blind bake the pastry cups first, for the best, flaky results.
Citrus salad with a minty vinaigrette
This simple combination of ingredients truly complements one another and is a beautiful synergy of flavours, colours and textures. The vibrant colours of this salad is enough to make your mouth water. Citrus paired with a minty vinaigrette is a refreshing combination, while the sweetness of the rubies gives it just the right balance of flavours. Enjoy this salad with any protein of your choice.

Think mussels in a creamy sauce, a broccolini and citrus salad and an elegant cheese platter with roasted pears and goats cheese. Yum!
