Just back from a trip from South Africa

Had an unreal trip in South Africa, most of my time was based in Cape Town visiting Franschoek and Stellenbosch.

Our travels concluded with a trip to the Garden Route via Oudtshoorn, Wilderness, Plettenberg Bay ending in an amazing stay in Sibuya Game Farm. I will talk about my incredible stays in future blog posts.

I have so much to share with you. I spent my mornings having breakfast at Melissa's . I loved everything about Melissa's Food Shop (s), the crockery, the setting, the style of the food and especially the amazing array of rusks. (Rusks are South Africa's version of biscotti - best eaten dipped in tea and coffee)

Since I have been back, I have created the ideal rusk recipe that bowled over my family wanting more. I am looking forward to embracing and using some of the South African recipes into my upcoming cooking classes this year.
