Braai Day & Other news

Welcome to NATIONAL BRAAI DAY!

What a wonderful concept to enjoy on Heritage Day. "On 24 September all South Africans will sit around the same fire. Join us in National Braai Day - a celebration of our great country and its unique national pastime. National Braai Day will allow us to get together, burn the past and cook up a succulent future. Braaing unites us all in a common purpose and transcends racial, social, cultural and language barriers. There's really no excuse not to gather your family and friends and whip up a feast - it's the start of summer and a public holiday." (Ref: http://www.braaiday.co.za/)

And whilst we all know that our Tagines can be used on the braai, even Cosmo is getting in on the act. In an article on how to keep your kitchen healthy, the following passage appears: "Swap the Roasting dish for a Tagine - roasted vegetable are healthy but you need to add oil for flavour and moisture. 'A tagine is self-basting,' says UK dietitian Nigel Denby. 'The design ensures that the steam keeps circulating, keeping food juicy without any added fat. It's also the ultimate in low-maintenance cooking - pop it in the oven [or on the stove] and let the steam do its work." Cosmopolitan, October 2007 (pg. 46 - Zest).

However, our Tagines are not limited to just vegetable dishes. For a range of Tagine recipes, view our site.
