Heritage Day in South Africa is a celebration of the vibrant tapestry of our diverse cultures, a recognition of the threads that weave us together into the Rainbow Nation that we truly are. At the heart of this celebration lies a delectable thread where every bit of who we are fuses for an experience like no other: food.
We have a fusion cuisine that has evolved over the years, influencing our diverse cultural expressions in ways that the world continues to marvel at.
A Zulu stew is no longer complete without some curry seasoning, and what is a Bobotie without a generous sprinkling of Italian herbs? This universal language transcends borders and sparks connection while nourishing us.
In my home, food is a joyous experience. For us, it’s about sharing our different culinary traditions — my own Afrikaans heritage, and my husband’s Zulu heritage.
