Monthly Mingle South Africa Roundup

MMBadge-2009[2] Kopie

I hope you are sitting in an upright position and your seatbelts are tightly fastened as we get ready to take off on an exciting culinary journey to one of the most colorful countries on our planet – South Africa!

We were grounded due to volcanic ash you see, and had to make sure all of our passengers got on board this exclusive trip, so we apologize for any delays and discomfort this might have caused. We are pleased to announce that this is a first class roundtrip for all passengers on board with a delectable and divine collection of dishes from South Africa.

MMBadge-May2010
Just before we take off we would like to draw your attention to our next luxury trip. For all those suffering hopelessly with a sweet tooth then this one’s for you.

Our pilot is the very lovely Erin of The Apartment Kitchen and together we chose the theme of Special Sweet Treats. So share sweet desserts, goodies and treats for special occasions with us.

Deadline: June 14th, 2010

Thanks to all those who have joined me in this mingle. It was a lot of fun and I hope to see you again next time. In the meantime I hand you over to Erin and her Special Sweet Treats.

I am currently working on a few projects behind the scenes, including my presentation for the Food Blogger Connect Conference in 16 days. I wish I had a few more hours to my days!
I’ll be back with more stories and recipes next week.

In the meantime enjoy a few of these delicious crumbles and a story very dear to my heart, or take a bite of the tortilla while you celebrate your friends and finally a few of the delicate macarons while you enjoy a few good books.

Hugs!

  2. Oh how I miss melktert, vetkoek, bobotie, pap and koeksistes. Thanks for doing the Monthly Mingle on South Africa Meeta, I had forgotten how diverse our cuisine is! Really craving vetkoek now! I wonder if Marks and Spencer would consider doing it?

  4. My lack of interest in eating red meat has unfortunately led me to get results stating that I'm borderline anemic. So, an African bean in coconut sauce recipe got my attention. This may just be the one that introduces me to a whole new culinary experience. Gotta get those beans into my system!!! Thank you Meeta for sharing referrals of other talented cooks.
    Flavourful wishes, Claudia
