Koesisters, the Cape Malay way
For those who love the aroma of sweet spices, as much as I do, this is one of the best sweet treats you’ll ever eat. Although this is also a yeast-based dough, deep fried and then covered in a sweet syrup, the flavours are delicate and completely different to plaited koeksisters that most South African’s know and love so much. This is the perfect recipe to make as a family. Some can shape the dough, while others fry and roll – a fun and lekker activity.
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.
The best salted caramel sauce
How does a salted caramel sauce sound? Mmm … what a treat! This recipe is an absolute taste sensation! Perfect for a dessert with fresh fruit or ice cream and more. And do have a look at the tip to substitute the salt for miso paste – it’s soooo good with that extra level of umami flavour.
Quick banana & oat flapjacks
These heavenly flapjacks can be whipped up in no time, which explains their name: Quick banana & oat flapjacks! They are great for breakfast, a no-fuss brunch or even to pack into a lunch box. This recipe is even ideal for little ones starting to eat solids. Get creative with wholesome toppings of your choice like honey, peanut butter, banana, lemon rind, nuts or toasted seeds.

Gesonde peuselhappies vir kinders
Mieliemeelmuffins, ’n knibbelhappie met appel, klapper en neute of dalk groentekebabs – dis alles peuselkos waarvan my kinders baie hou. As ek met lekker en gesonde peuselgoed hul eksamentyd so bietjie makliker kan maak, dan doen ek dit met liefde. ’n Mens voel mos dikwels lus vir iets om te eet as jy vir lang tye moet sit en swot.

Franse roosterbrood
Franse roosterbrood is ’n bekende ontbyt idee, maar dis ewe lekker as ligte ete en boonop kan jy byna enige iets as bolaag daarop eet. Hier is my resep vir dié gereg, met drie idees om dit mee voor te sit: pangebraaide sampioene met maaskaas en roket of kaas, tamatie en vars kruie. En as jy van ’n soeter smakie hou, is daar vars pere met heuning, kaneel en neute.
