This bread is warm, soft and utterly fluffy! Enjoy it with braaied meat, or any meal where you plan to serve bread. Be creative with the seasonings – the options are endless! Caramelised onions will be delicious in this bread dough. Alternatively, add cooked bacon, cheese, sliced jalapeños, fresh herbs, olives, peppers, sundried tomatoes, spinach or feta, or any combination of these. This version is seasoned with some true South African flavours, by combining Peppadews® and cheese. It’s so good. Have a warm slice, straight from the pot, just with some butter … yum!

This recipe uses a few not-so-typical ingredients for a malva pudding, but the end result is utterly delicious. You can decide whether you want to serve it with custard or vanilla ice cream. Make sure you have all the ingredients and spoil your family for the public holiday tomorrow.

This recipe is another great one-pot wonder! It uses basic, everyday ingredients, so it’s a sure family favourite! A potjie is traditionally made outside on the fire, but this one is made inside, in a large pot. This means that you don’t have to wait all day to enjoy a delicious potjie. We made this traditional recipe extra South African by steaming herb and mealie meal dumplings on top of the flavourful sauce. Perfect food for this weekend!

The Italians love a rich tomato sauce with meatballs on pasta – we’ve added a South African twist by using traditional boerewors to create quick meatballs. You’re going to want to make this again and again!
