	Grilled Halloumi cheese with Zaa'tar and roasted red pepper coulis by Jeanne Horak-Druiff I've asked this question before - let me ask it again: who the heck is Valentine's Day meant to please? Single people feel depressed at being left out of all the saccharine togetherness; and people in relationships feel depressed because their…	1 vote 504 views
	Cape brandy pudding (or tipsy tart) revisited by Jeanne Horak-Druiff [As I am currently on holiday, this is an edited re-posting of one of the first traditional South African desserts that I ever posted on this blog. There will be no Sundays in South Africa until 11 April.]It's a fact - South Africans do like their brandy. Not so much the sort that is meticulously aged and then consumed in tiny sips…	1 vote 747 views
	Self-saucing lemon pudding by Jeanne Horak-Druiff Don't you just hate coming back from a lovely long holiday?Just as I am really getting into the relaxing groove, I have to pack up my stuff, say goodbye to my beloved family, and negotiate the endlessly stressful and frustrating world of commmercial passenger aviation. And let's face it, who wouldn't find it stressful running for your…	1 vote 750 views
	Smoked salmon penne - quick, easy & indulgent by Jeanne Horak-Druiff Missing: one CookSister blogging mojo, presumably left behind in Cape Town. Much loved. Reward offered for its safe return...Don't worry, this isn't going to be one of those "I'm taking a break" (translation: I'm never coming back) posts with which the blogosphere is littered, just my attempt to explain my woefully inadequate…	1 vote 471 views
	Roosterkoek - a South African braai essential by Jeanne Horak-Druiff Roosterkoek (literally grill cake - say “roor-stir-cook” and try to roll those r’s!) is the traditional bread to accompany a braai or BBQ. The roosterkoek are simply balls of bread dough cooked on a grid over the coals, and are best eaten piping hot and straight off the grill. There are other traditional braai breads (e.g. potbread),…	1 vote 869 views
	Cheezas for my cheesy friends by Jeanne Horak-Druiff Age is a funny thing. You don't feel old, you may not look old, but every now and then you have a flash of realisation that the world has changed so much since you were a kid that you must, to some extent, be old. Or at least older than some people! I look at my young nephews aged 4 and 7, and how much TV they watch (and they would…	1 vote 523 views
	Fu.Shi, Plettenberg Bay by Jeanne Horak-Druiff PLEASE NOTE THAT FU.SHI HAS NOW CLOSEDI have written before about my long-term love affair with Plettenberg Bay. I have spent so much time there that I sometimes feel more affinity for Plett than the city were i actually lived! Over the 35 years or so that I have been visiting Plett, I have seen many changes, most of which dismay…	1 vote 399 views
	Zucchini, tomato pesto & Parmesan tart by Jeanne Horak-Druiff About thirteen years ago, I travelled to the USA with three of my dear friends Paul (he of the Famous Butternut Soup), Duncan and Adrian. Most of my friends who had been to the USA had been to New York, Las Vegas or San Francisco, all home to a multitude of tourist attractions. But not us. Oh no, we went to... Wisconsin.Nothing…	1 vote 785 views
	Curried vegetable potjiekos by Jeanne Horak-Druiff A colleague of mine recently returned from a week of watching FIFA 2010 World Cup football in South Africa. He said the football was so-so, but he loved the country - and the food. Because he stayed with friends rather than in a hotel, he really got to eat what the locals ate. The first thing he said to me when he got back was:…	1 vote 488 views
	Smoked salmon, vodka and pea pasta - and a Kinvara salmon hamper by Jeanne Horak-Druiff I have been reading a few articles lately about "the expat experience" in London (as if there is only ONE experience expats can possibly have!). With all the fantastic vibe that has been generated in South Africa with the tremendously successful FIFA…	1 vote 754 views
