Bonteheuwel's beloved home cook and author, Florence “Flori” Schrikker, 67, has died.
Aunty Flori, as she was affectionately known, was one half of the local cooking show duo, Flori en Koelsoem se Kosse, along with her friend Koelsoem "Koelie" Kamalie.
Aunty Flori died just five months after Aunty Koelie, who passed away in April.
The pair released their first cookbook in March 2016, called Kook Saam Kaaps, and was a firm favourite with the Daily Voice’s recipe column, Cooksisters.
Bonteheuwel ward councillor, Angus Mckenzie said Flori’s passing "is a huge shock to the community".
"Aunty Flori commonly known to all was a Bonteheuwel stalwart and hero who will be sorely missed for her amazing heart, giving nature and amazing dishes she cooked," he said.
Mckenzie adds: "A few months ago her partner Aunty Kulsum Kamalie passed.
As a community, we are comforted by the fact that they will be serving the heavens with some of the best cuisines.
Aunty Flori’s passing is a huge shock to the community and in our sadness, we want to thank her family for sharing her, her talents and her love with each and every one of us."
Rest in Peace, Aunty Flori.
