A little goes a long way and always a crowd pleaser. The colour of the cooked bacon is pink so do not panic and think that the meat is not cooked through in the center.

Boerewors/wors is a traditional South African sausage made from beef and pork. It is best prepared over a barbeque, but can also be pan fried. Serving suggestions: with pap, mash or in a roll. To retain the moisture of the boerewors, avoid poking with any sharp objects, rather use tongs.

Coleslaw is one of those popular salads. There are various variations and this is how I make it.

Soups are one pot wonders! Maria and I share the love for soups and she is my main taster each time I make a pot. This soup can be served with pita bread stuffed with lightly seasoned cucumber and avocado. The mackerel can be substituted with hake.

Busi made me this delicious tea and I immediately fell in love with it! This can also be chilled and served cold on a hot summers day.

This is a succulent and tasty piece of meat cooked over a barbeque fire great for lunch or dinner. It is boneless and easy to slice. Leftovers can be served the following day in a club sandwich with mayo, pickles, carrots, cheese, tomatoes etc!

I enjoy lemon and herb chicken, its tanginess and the freshness of the herbs always hits the spot. Serve with a salad or couscous. To get a crispy chicken skin with a moist flesh, use tongs to handle the meat and not a fork.

This is a delicious spring or summer salad I made for Victoria as a side dish and she loved it! I used a Greek salad dressing, but you can use any dressing. If being served as a meal, then add tuna, boiled egg or sliced chicken with lightly toasted pita bread. This salad can keep in the fridge for 24hours, but please do not add any salad dressing.
