Just when you thought you could pack away the winter pots - donated by ouma mos - Cape Town is blessed with much-needed and welcome rain.
Because of the drought crisis in the Western Cape, is daar niks kwaadrakens nie.
Thank God, take out your potte, and make a lekker warme bredie to chase the chill away.
Beef is fantastic when cooking bredies. It does take a while to get gaar though, and can be taai if not done properly.
Pro tip: prep your meat die vorige aand al, people.
This is the trick to a perfectly balanced family life, and a good meal, of course.
The recipes selected for this week are ideal for winter and big families because each of them are guaranteed to beat the chill right out of your bones, and will feed a dozen hungry mouths.
But they’re also perfect to freeze, so cook away.
These can be prepared the night before for our working mums and completed within 20-30 minutes before supper time.
When making stews, it’s best to buy fresh veggies, although those frozen bags of veggies are an absolute lifesaver when time is a factor.
With a home full of hungry people and especially children , moet mens maar sterk wees.
Apparently the only thing that can fix your life when you are cold, is food.
