    South African Recipes

    Whether you're a seasoned chef or a kitchen newbie, we have a South African recipe for you that's guaranteed to impress your friends, family, and even your pet Springbok. So grab a biltong stick, pour yourself a lekker cup of rooibos tea, and let's get cooking!

    Our number one recommendation will always be bobotie, it's the national dish after all! (It's compulsory to serve it with yellow rice.) To drink, non-alcoholic rock shandy. For afters, the stalwart of Saffa desserts, Peppermint crisp tart. When we get to 4 o' clock, it's time to serve up condensed milk cookies and Spice biscuits ('Outydse soetkoekies'). Then, you can start planning your Beef Trinchado for tomorrow.
