I have been “cooking” up something for a while now…A recipe book! But not just any recipe book, a SmulSouth African recipe book! 35 South African recipes to feast on!

As a SAFFA(South African Far From Africa), it brings me great pleasure to make our traditional recipes part of our newly-adopted culture. It brings back memories of days long past and the nostalgia associated with that brings me joy. Perhaps you are a SAFFA as well, and I hope you will find joy when you try these recipes. If not a SAFFA, simply enjoy this authentic South African recipe book with a hint of history and culture snippets sprinkled in.

South African recipes

Side-note: You might find that some of these recipes were adopted and adapted from other countries, much like our Afrikaans heritage is a blend of a few cultures. What makes the recipes uniquely South African is not simply the ingredients of the recipe, but the history and the memories associated. I often tell the stories to my own kids of Ouma(granny) baking these treats, as a way to keep our Afrikaans legacy alive.

You will find Sweet and Savoury recipes in this book including:

  • Melkkos
  • Pannekoek
  • Malva Pudding
  • Pampoenkoekies(pumpkin fritters)
  • Vetkoek
  • Oxtail Potjie
  • Biltong Sticks and more!

Some of my family’s favourite recipes are included and also traditional recipes. There are many more and perhaps there will be a Smul Edition 2…

I’ve added a snippet of the history or origin of each recipe for interest’s sake. Some of the recipes have Afrikaans names and I have tried to translate those as close as possible.
