Woolworths TASTE

A royal feast

The book is dedicated to your mother. What was she like? My mother, Catherine, was the epitome of grace. She was a reflection of love and single-handedly raised five of us and made sure we all had professions. She loved home-made bread, fondly called ujeqe in isiZulu, with bean curry. When I miss her, I cook one of her favourites, roast leg of lamb twisted with Granny Smith apples and roast vegetables.

Which three ingredients couldn’t you live without? Garlic, leaf masala, and plain yoghurt. I use them for a good old curry.

That is such a pity. Even if with steamed bread.
