Oondbraai-aartappels met kruie-mayonnaise
Uit Nostalgie deur Herman Lensing
“Vir ’n aartappel is ek baie lief. En ek maak ook altyd baie gaar. Hoekom? vra my vriende altyd. As kind het my ma nooit min kos gemaak nie. Maar om die een of ander rede het sy geskimp as dit kom by aartappels. Daar was ook die reël in ons huis dat wanneer gaste kom eet, skep kinders laaste. Jy wag dat almal kos het. Dank die Vader my gebede het elke Sondag gehelp dat die aartappelbak se genade hou tot ek kom skep. Maar soos genade, raak dit soms op. Ek dink die een wat genade moet uitdeel, rus ook soms! So die Sondag van die groot aartappelkrisis begin soos ’n gewone Sondag lunch.”

Ultimate classic Beef Burgers
From Easy Al Fresco by Ilse van der Merwe
“Beef burgers can easily be mediocre. But with a few simple changes, home-made burgers will trump any artisanal burger-stands or restaurant’s offering. Take the effort out of making patties by choosing good quality ready-made from your local butchery or supermarket, then focus on the balsamic caramelised onions – they make a world of difference.”
Tunisian Prawn Spaghetti
From 5 Ingredients Mediterranean by Jamie Oliver
“Tunisians are one of the biggest pasta eaters on the planet and they have a whole load of their own pasta shapes and techniques. Harissa really amplifies the sweetness of the prawns here – delicious!”
