My fondest memories of baking take me back home to South Africa. I recall visiting the many ‘Tuisnywerheid’ or home industry shops brimming with freshly prepared breads, cakes and bakes using local produce of fruit, jams and preserves from the area.
I was amazed at the how much care and love these, salt of the earth, bakers and producers put into replicating simple, traditional recipes passed on from generation to generation, great-grandmothers to grandmother, to mother and then daughters.
