smoky

There’s something about smoky flavour that instantly makes a dish feel comforting and familiar. It’s the kind of taste that settles in before the first bite – warm, savoury, and unmistakably inviting. In South Africa, where food has always been about generosity and gathering, smoky notes fit right into the way we cook and the way we eat.

It’s that time of the year again, and never have we needed a braai day or the celebration of our loved ones and our culture more than we do on this Heritage Day!

National Braai Day, synonymous with Heritage Day, was begun more than a decade ago by Jan Scannell aka Jan Braai. The concept really gained momentum in 2008 when Archbishop Desmond Tutu lent it his support - and 12 years later, we have one of South Africa’s favourite foodie holidays.
