#ChefTip

‘In South Africa, chicken is considered a vegetable.’ This is something I sometimes mutter to international guests when I cater for them. We love our meat here. Where my dad is from in Limpopo, the men don’t consider a meal complete if there is no large piece of meat on the plate. I discovered this as a kid when my mom made my visiting relatives spaghetti and Bolognese sauce for dinner and they ate it up and then asked when the proper meal was coming.
