When it comes to pairing gin with food, in general, mushrooms is new territory for us all, right?

October is International Merlot Month and in the Creation Tasting Room the focus is on the amazing pairing potential of this wine.  To celebrate, here is a recipe for Chef Francois Hugo’s delectable Creation Merlot pairing recipe.

Just imagine waking up on a weekend after a night out on town… and you get served a big plate of these Bacon, Egg, and Cheese Breakfast Wontons.

The indigenous Khoi people from the Cape region made bread centuries ago, using open coals to bake the loaves known as “roosterkoek” (loosely translated as grilled cake).

Nothing says Heritage Day in South Africa quite like the smoky-sweet flavour of a braai.

Seeing that my fridge is still full of game, I decided to experiment once again.

It is a widely known fact that my favourite food is a sandwich. What kind of sandwich? Doesn’t really matter. As long as there is a filling between bread, I will probably love it. That’s why getting myself a sandwich maker was a wise move!

This just may be the most drunken Fire Roasted Corn Guacamole that you will ever have! Complicated? Not at all. It takes roughly 15 minutes to roast, chop, dice, grind and mix this lovely relish. Add some bacon and tequila and you have a winning dip for your next party.

As it is Heritage Month during September, why not try this tomato jam recipe from Die VLV Kookboek – a lovely collection of recipes compiled by the VLV or Women Agriculture Association.

Scrambled eggs loaded up with cheese, crispy bacon, and chives! Get everyone involved with the wrapping, and serve it at your next brunch party. We suggest you serve these warm with your favourite dipping sauce.
