Enjoy a fusion of flavours in these dishes with a classically South African twist
TV personality Warren Mendes takes us on a trip through South Africa as he whips up delicious dishes inspired by chefs from across the country.
Peri-peri seafood curry
Opt for local seafood but if not, frozen works just as well.
Spinach tart with yoghurt and cheddar crust
Spinach, it has a deep, earthy flavour and is plentiful around the country.
Lamb samoosa pie
Turn this South African snack into the main event as a pie?
Cheesy mielie bread with tomato and chilli butter
This loaf makes for a great snack or side to a meal.
The perfect balance between sweet, sour and salty.
Melt in your mouth nutty goodness.
