I’ll come right out and say it. I don’t like Steak. Yes, once again, I expect to be thrown with rotten tomatoes. I seriously would rather eat a juicy lamb chop or a nice fatty pork chop than eat steak. The only steak I don’t mind, is fillet. So for me, the most important part of steak is the sauce. I usually top a palm-sized steak with about 2 ladles of sauce. But then again, I am a bit of a sauce slut.

But my all time favourite salad for a braai HAS to be a…
So yesterday, in Braai Week Part 1, I started discussing the magnificence that is Marinading. And today I will continue with that. Now just to be clear, I have nothing against rubs etc. but I’ve just never really gotten the feel for them. I know people who could grill you the best meat on earth with just a rub, but I’m not one of those. So today I’ll be talking about Lamb and Ribs. My two other favourites on the braai. I’ll be discussing steak on Thursday, so don’t panic, it’s coming! I could eat ribs all day, everyday. As long as they are sweet, sticky and a tad bit…
First of all, I have to say THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU! I have made it to the Top 2 of both the New Blog and Food & Wine Blog of the year categories in the SA BLOG AWARDS. Thank you so incredibly much for all the voters and supporters! You guys are absolutely amazing. I am still in shock as I really didn’t think I had a chance of winning. I was in the same category as Nina from My Easy Cooking, Andy from JamieWho and Janice Tripepi after all. So I just have to say THANK YOU again. The ceremony is on Saturday night, and I’m still…
