Your weekend feast - 30 December 2016

The year is swiftly coming to an end and before you know it, 2017 will be here with the promise of new trends, new restaurants and most importantly more great food.

The season is still very festive and now that Christmas is done and dusted, trips to the beach, braais on hot Summer days and preparations for New Year’s Eve celebrations are in full swing.

Take advantage of the last few days of December where you are still allowed to let loose and indulge in all the guilty pleasures that the season has to offer. For breakfast make our strawberry flapjacks with maple syrup.

Pork belly with an Asian-inspired twist comes in the form of these lovely pork belly kebabs. Light up your braai and throw these kebabs over the coals, your tummy will thank you later…

These bacon-wrapped mielies will make an awesome side dish to your braai or any other meal you’re preparing.

During the festive season it’s always exciting to make some boozy desserts. These chocolate buns with lashings of brandied caramel are super fun to make and even more fun to eat.

Another amazing dessert is this granadilla semifreddo with frozen dark chocolate sauce. If you’re feeling like an over-the-top frozen dessert, this is the one. Serve piled high with strawberries.

You can’t go wrong with this peach, feta and pecan salad with honey. Make use of Summer’s bountiful peaches and impress your guests with this fruity side.
