Chef Johan van Schalkwyk’s chicken mole nachos
Compared to most chefs, Johan may have had a bit of a late start, only entering the industry when he was 28. He started out as a chef at a chateau in France, where he fondly remembers the time spent wandering through the kitchen garden, a basket of vegetables and herbs on his forearm, carefully picking fresh produce for the day. These days, Johan heads up the kitchen at Vrede en Lust’s Lust Bistro & Bakery, cooking and baking (make sure that you taste the sourdough!) fresh and fuss-free fare at one of the most renowned eateries in the foodie centre of Franschhoek. We visited his kitchen and he cooked us a delicious chocolatey treat with a bite, chicken mole nachos!
Garlic-chilli prawns with squash mash

Spicy bean chilli today. Sloppy joes tomorrow!

Kelp mussels
Friday braai day: Kelp mussels
Being a WWF-SASSI ambassador and forager, I love the ocean and cooking with the fresh ingredients found on my doorstep in Grotto Bay. This is one of the signature dishes that started my career with the Ultimate Braai Master back in 2014. I have a few mussel recipes, but nothing beats this or tastes as true to the ocean as this one. It’s the greatest WWF-SASSI recipe ever!
Save on groceries
Save on groceries before even leaving the house
We all have those months where there’s only one week left, but your budget doesn’t feel like it’s going to stretch that far. But, don’t despair and reach for two-minute noodles just yet. With a proper pantry inspection and some clever organisation, you can still eat delicious meals without skipping a beat.
Baked eggs
We’re loving ethnic-inspired breakfasts, and so is everyone else!
According to the National Restaurant Assiciation, 68% of chefs have put ethnic breakfasts on their menus in 2016, landing them among the top five breakfast trends of the year. As usual, we are keeping with the times! Here are our favourite exotic brekkies, flavoured with an eclectic mix of ingredients like chorizo, maize meal, spice blends, and chilli.
