Having strong foundations that inspire us to explore and experiment is where great cooking comes from and lucky for us, South Africa has deep rooted culinary traditions from which to draw infinite knowledge and inspiration. Often, the beauty of these timeless lessons lies in our ability to make them our own. We all have memories of a grandmother, mom or aunty teaching us how to make something in the kitchen. For Women’s Month, Leopard’s Leap are celebrating the women who taught us how to cook and this week we are taking a leaf from Kamini Pather’s book.
