    South African recipes

    After more than 40 years of living in Africa. I think it's safe to say that I've collected quite a lot of recipes.

    Some of my favourite South African recipes include spicy peri peri chicken and beef trinchado, both of which are very popular in the restaurants over there.

    On the sweeter side, koeksisters make a delicious tea-time treat.  These are traditionally made with yeast, but my version uses 2-ingredient dough and is so simple to make.

    And of course, no South African recipe collection would be complete without a recipe for melt-in-the-mouth hertzoggies.
