"From: Boschendal Wine Estate Restaurant,
Cape Province, South Africa.

It is actually a delicious cake but rich!!
Very simple to make."

Ingredients: bicarbonate of soda, eggs...

"You'd call this mashed beans, and it is, sort of! It's a common way we have of cooking older green beans, when they're past their prime and not good enough to steam plainly any more. This side dish comes under the heading of "old-style comfort food"! Delicious with roast meats and stews. As with such old, trad recipes, quantities..."

Ingredients: green beans, nutmeg, onions...

"Don't expect a fine dining recipe -- this is rustic, comfort food for the busy cook, which will fill the kitchen with its fragrance as it roasts! I make this dish at least once a week or ten days, and always heave a sigh of relief when I've shoved the entire dinner into the oven in one go and can leave it to cook itself, while I do something..."

Ingredients: cucumbers, Dijon mustard...

"My late mother-in-law made pumpkin this way, and it's the only way (apart from pumpkin pie) I like pumpkin! It's awfully hard to give quantities: please use your own judgement too. I do not know what kinds of pumpkin you have: our most-used one is called Boer pumpkin and has orange flesh and white skin."

Ingredients: cinnamon, pumpkin, salt...

"Now can anything be easier than this cold dessert!! Ideal for beginner cooks, who would like to impress guests!!

Ingredients: marshmallows, orange juice...

"Melkkos is a staple in South Africa - rich and hot, best enjoyed on a cold winter's night as a dessert or light meal. I used to eat loads of this at an Afrikaans boarding school when I was a kid."

Ingredients: cinnamon sugar, margarine...

"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..."

Ingredients: curry powder, fresh cilantro...

"When winter howls outside there is nothing more soothing than a bowl or cup of thick soup. The orange juice and spices in this recipe lend it the slightest tang and piquancy without interfering with the wholesome veggie taste. This is my own recipe, but this time I measured the ingredients instead of chucking it into the pot by feel! Do not leave out..."

Ingredients: coriander seeds, fennel seeds...

"These are a deviation of the standard garlic/cheese filled mushrooms and are mouthwateringly good. Can be served as a first course or as a side dish."

Ingredients: brazil nuts, cream, ketchup...

"A spicy alternative to Meat Loaf, it is a traditional dish made by South Africans of Malaysian decent. I tried it when on holiday there and copied it from <a href="http://www.favorite-cooking-recipes/cooking-recipes/?V*565645+Baboti">Recipe Site</a>"

Ingredients: chutney, pepper, curry powder...
