"This is an old South African favourite, often made for the small Home Industry outlets and for our numerous interesting roadside "farm stall" coffee shops, where good preserves, breads and bakery goods are often for sale. If you like almonds, this is for you."

Ingredients: apricot halves, egg yolks...

"This cookie contains both cocoa and dark chocolate, with nibbed almonds added -- simple and just right to help fill the holiday cookie tins! Depending on how large or small you roll the little batter balls, you'll get between 35 and 45 cookies. If you cannot find the nibbed almonds, simply crush flaked almonds. I use a good-quality semi-sweet..."

Ingredients: chocolate, cocoa powder, eggs...

"An absolutely spectacular dessert! Recipe found in an old cookbook called More Fun and Flavour With Spices. You can use the crepe recipe I'm including or use your own favourite recipe. The crepes can be made ahead of time and frozen. Simply reheat them in a slow oven (I would wrap them in foil to prevent hardening).
The cooking time does not..."

Ingredients: cinnamon, cornstarch, eggs...

"This has been in my family for 50 yrs, originally from a recipe book but we have no clue which one. You can use any type of bean and I enjoy it with all of them but I'm particularly fond of the Mayocoba beans usually found in the Mexican food section (although it is a Peruvian bean). If you use dry beans 1/2 Cup equals a 15 oz can after soaking..."

"The accompaniment for Bobotie. Sourced from Gourment Magazine

Blatjang is the pride of Cape Malay-cuisine, and the recipe is one of the oldest around. The name comes from one of the constituents of the Javanese sambal blachang.

"Stews are very common in Africa. This stew is served in layers, with the meat and onion on the bottom and the vegetables on the top. This recipe is from South Africa, and comes from "Classic International Recipes". The original recipe calls for lamb, but it isn't very common where I live, so I've substituted beef successfully."

Ingredients: cinnamon sticks, cooking oil...

"This is based on my other quickie, Very Rustic Spinach and Feta Tart, but it contains no feta and no cream. Some evenings I am truly lazy when it comes to cooking dinner, but we are not fans of frozen or tinned vegs. So this is a life-saver, because no other side dish is needed when you make this, it's no-nonsense and very quick. Do not use swiss chard, because..."

Ingredients: eggs, baby spinach leaves...

"Ground beef (or beef mince as it's known here) makes me despair, yet the price of meat means that we are all faced with boring ground beef for dinner at least once a week. I am so tired of meatballs, patties, spaghetti with mince, lasagne, aaargh! So I created this easy new way. The full demo can be found in the Kitchen Information and Reference..."

Ingredients: swiss chard, dried breadcrumbs...

"I am from Johannesburg South Africa.
I remember eating these as a child and finally found the perfect recipe, brings me right back to my childhood! Sooooo good, but remember to serve them hot! Add a squeeze or 2 of lemon juice to the crepe before you sprinkle the mixture and roll it up, makes the cinnamon and sugar stick better. Delicious!"

Ingredients: cinnamon-sugar mixture, eggs...

"This Tomato and Mutton or Beef Stew recipe is a firm South African favorite.
The stew recipe is easy to prepare and makes a lovely rich tasting dish. The dish is best if made a day ahead and reheated for serving."

Ingredients: fresh ground black pepper, mixed herbs...

"This is one of my favourite dishes. Yes, it does take time, mainly in preparing and sauteing the vegetables. Believe me, it is worth it! This recipe serves 9 people, and can easily be made a day ahead. I do the prep at my leisure, quite a relaxing task! The result should be a tasty, tangy bake which needs no more than baked chicken pieces and maybe a..."

Ingredients: eggs, lemon juice, lemon zest...

"This is another of my recipes which is ideal for lazy or busy cooks!! Assemble ahead, refrigerate, then pop into the oven before dinner. All it needs to round out a healthy dinner is a salad with goodies in it! Instead of the cider you could use pure apple juice."

Ingredients: cider, fennel seeds...
