  1. Dis mos nou hoe ons Suid Afrika moet adverteer, exellent stuff
     
  2. We really enjoyed this! It reminded me of bread pudding (or maybe it was just the way I made it), I prefer this to traditional cornbread. Thanks!
     
  3. Super recipe. Came out really well. The kids adored it!
     
  4. my search is over madeline. i don't even have to try other cornbreads anymore. i used regular flour cause i didn't have cake flour. i just subtracted 2 tbs. and it worked fine. this recipe is going to be added to my special recipe book that i am writing for my 7 yr. old son( for when he moves out). thanks.
     
  5. Dh complimented this several times. He loved it and couldn't wait to have it again for breakfast. Didn't change a thing and it took the full hour in a 9" x 9" baking dish. It's a very dense cornbread and doesn't rise much in baking.

I was born and raised in South Africa but now live in Delaware USA. Since I can remember I have been cooking! My first real cooking experience was when I was 7. I came home from school one afternoon and felt like French toast. My elder brother was home with his friends and did not want to make it for me, so I got a pan out, put it on the stove, turned the stove on to high. After that I could not remember what to do, but I knew that French toast involved bread so I put the bread in the hot pan without grease and poured milk over it! Oy vey... My brother's friend asked me what I was trying to make and I told him. He laughed and told me I was making it wrong but he also taught me how to make French toast the right way. I came home every day after that and made French toast. I felt so confident with the little bit of knowledge I had acquired that I soon started experimenting with other things. Nothing was going to stop me! The first full meal I ever made for my family was boiled rice and oven roasted chicken pieces with a steamed vegetable medley. I was 8 years old and my mom was in hospital. My dad was struggling to hold down an intensely busy job, keep the family going and be with my mom, so I thought I would help him. I don't think he believed that I had done it on my own. I remember telling him that I read in a cookery book how to make a roast chicken but I did not know what "a" rosemary was so I just put the chicken in the dish without it. Decades later with a myriad tried and tested recipes behind me - flops and failures included - I know my way around any food item and kitchen utensil, much to my family's delight!
