Newsletter - Sep 2007

Good Afternoon,

As the old cliché goes - so much to do, so little time. We are, however, glad to see that spring is in the air and with summer just around the corner, there is so much to look forward to. There is also so much news to share from Eastern Gifts and Things cc.

Quote for Today: "The policy of being too cautious is the greatest risk of all," - Jawaharial Nehru

We have a new tagine recipe on our site, which is absolutely delicious. Click here to view. It is really delicious (yes, I have tried it) and although it sounds complex, is actually quite easy to prepare. And I must say, I am very impressed with the Emile Henry tagines. Not only can you use them on the stove (gas or electric), but also in the oven or even on the braai (for that truly authentic Moroccan cooking). The best part for me, though, is that the tagines are completely dishwasher safe. I put both the base and the lid of the tagine into the dishwasher and it cleans perfectly, every time. And if you're dieting and trying to get fit for summer - then a tagine is ideal for you. Tagine recipes are extremely healthy and good for you. The larger tagines can cater for up to 8 people, depending on what you're making. I've made a chicken and almond tagine (recipe also on our website) for 8 people, and still had some leftover for lunch the next day. The smaller tagines can quite easily cater for 4 to 6 people; depending on what you're making (a vegetable tagine goes much further than a chicken or meat tagine). Why not try some of our recipes on our site and let us know what you think - all feedback received will be posted on our site and included in our next newsletter. E-mail us on info@easterngifts.co.za.

We at Eastern Gifts and Things cc are very proud to announce two new product lines available through our website.
  1. The first is exclusively available on our site - you will not find these in store anywhere in South Africa. They are unique handmade pots. Each pot weighs about 3.5kg and each design is unique. To view and place your order - click here. In time, we will be adding the most beautiful handmade chess sets as well. So, watch this space.
  2. The second range of products are handmade wooden candle holders. All candle holders are made to order and you can choose the stain, colour and wood. These candle holders are absolutely beautiful and ideal for any home. To view - click here.

I know you are going to think I'm getting ahead of myself now, but Christmas is just around the corner. With only three months to go, and plenty of end-of-year functions and planning for the holidays, it is best to start planning early. We have a beautiful range of Christmas gifts that we will deliver anywhere in South Africa. You can have up to five delivery addresses linked to your account and we accept both Visa and MasterCard. Or, if you'd prefer, you are able to pay via EFT as well (banking details will be e-mailed to you when placing an order).
