A new year


This is going to be a bumper year- for starters and most importantly – we’ve got a publisher! 
Kosmos Netherlands has taken our project on board and together with Oxfam Novib we embark upon very exciting African food collaboration. So, this month has already had us scrabbling to keep up with deadlines – planning’s, recipes, meetings- Carole, Sean, Peninah and I have a few busy months ahead of us- but boy are we up to it. 


In January I took a short trip to Angola and South Africa and got a good dose of  what was hip and happening down south. Saw fashionable Jo’burgers nibbling injera and designer bunny chows  at Arts on Main in downtown Joburg.



And everything from scarlet eggplants (next post), avocado “batida” milkshake, traditional palm oil beans (yum) funge –cassava porridge(acquired taste) to the just about the best sushi outside of Tokyo..  at Oondah
in the craziest city in the world- Luanda.






 Oh yes, in Angola we got ourselves on national TV..

A good start to very busy food year!
