Dunno, but it's probably nothing that a large bowl of fresh sambles and some Mrs. Balls' chutney couldn't help.

I can assure you she is steps ahead of a 'sambal' or a spoon of chutney

I pride myself as being pretty good at authentic Indian cookery , but this lady knows how to cook South African food....

That's true. She did have some wonderful recipes. She didn't ever come to this site though, did she, Manie?

Maybe what we need is a SA cookery book resource. My family has quite a few recipes (including some SA favourites, like boerewors and koeksusters) which I grew up on.

My own cooking speciality tends to be Asian cuisine (mainly Indian and Chinese) and some Italian dishes. New ideas are never a bad thing, though!

What a fantastic idea! it will certainly be a short diversion from racism and religion...
and who knows what will come out of this melting pot

Even one from Kukuti thrown in now and again?

But back to a more serious note, it is a brilliant idea, and it would be great if you set the ball rolling, I will certainly back you, my mother ran a cookery school in Jo'burg for many years, so I am considered not to bad a cook, allthough my preference lies with authentic Indian cuisine, I do love basic SA food, and my butcher nearby provides me with that need, his biltong, boere and droëwors must be the best in the UK

[Joovilhar]

Mmmm... biltong.

I will look into sharing a few SA recipes when I get back to the UK at the end of next week (going for a week's holiday!) My mother has a big, old-fashioned recipe book with handwritten contributions from various members of the family - many of them South Africans. That is the book we use for storing all our best recipes...

As for South African shops in the UK, there are quite a few. Really spoilt for choice, actually - compared to here in Germany! I used to be a regular customer at the imaginatively-named "South African Shop" in Maidenhead, when I lived there. They did some cracking fig, melon & ginger and apricot jams, too!
