This is a fantastic Argentinian sauce, traditionally made with herbs, aromatics like chilli and garlic, and a mild vinegar, served over braaied meat like steak. It has become so popular, because it’s really versatile and can be used with literally anything – from chicken and fish to egg dishes, wraps, pizzas, sandwiches and even braaibroodjies (braai toasties) boerie rolls and burgers. Give any dish a boost of flavour by just adding a spoonful or two of this tasty sauce.

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.

The 13th of June was International Chenin Blanc Day, and to celebrate, Leopard’s Leap Wines asked me to develop a few recipes to pair with their lovely trio of Chenin Blanc’s. Think mussels in a creamy sauce, a broccolini and citrus salad and an elegant cheese platter with roasted pears and goats cheese. Yum!
