I have always had a fascination with fire.  From my early childhood years growing up in the Eastern Free State till now.  As kids we were always on a mission to cook something on a fire or make warming fires to ward off the winter cold.  The flavours that gets transported from fire and flames to the food immediately takes me back to those care free years.  Grilling vegetables on an open fire gives it a fantastic depth of flavour.  We include an easy pot bread recipe with a twist - pot breads are easy and hassle free to prepare and bake and wonderful for feeding a large group of family and friends.  The lamb koftas is for all my fellow meat lovers out there - quick and easy to prepare!
