Aggeneys, Jeffreys Bay, Cradock, Oudtshoorn, Wellington, Robertson, Stilbaai, Malmesbury… The platteland is well represented among the 20 participants in the cooking reality series Kokkedoor Vuur & Vlam, which was filmed in Struisbaai in the Overberg, and is broadcast on Thursdays at 20:00 on kykNET (DStv channel 144).
Participants have to cook everything in the flames, over the coals, in the ash or on a grid, and try to impress the judges, award-winning chef Bertus Basson and braai guru Kobus Botha. There are 20 contestants: 10 with no formal training or professional experience; and 10 who have qualifications and/or experience working in a professional kitchen.
Here is a delicious recipe for Braai Day from Errieda du Toit, content producer on Kokkedoor Vuur & Vlam, specially for Platteland readers.
A local delicacy…
