Mielie meal roti
Now that you’ve tried your hand at making roti (ideally, you should make it at least 3 times before advancing to Mielie Meal roti), let me guide you through the steps of making this roti. This yields a super soft roti once toasted which has a soft and floury smell and texture. It is thinner than the traditional roti and best suited to eating with gravy curries like fish curry, yam or madumbi curry, banana curry or even on its own (as I prefer, with a cup of tea).
Mussels in sparkling wine on the coals
A yummy South African seafood favourite done the West Coast way.
Roast tomato and cabbage with bacon

Garlic bread
It’s a staple at most braais. This recipe is quick and easy – and the bread can be frozen for later if you like.
Milk tart ice cream
The recipe doesn’t use cream so the result isn’t as rich as other ice creams, but the divine milk tart flavour makes up for that.
Green apple putu pap with rump steak
Putu pap is an old-time South African favourite, and paired with a scrumptious steak its a new dinner time staple.
