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!
