BEHANDELING IN GEVAL VAN: Bloeding: Laat pasiënt se kop skuins na onder lê � voete en bene op. Oefen met vinger en/of duim DRUK uit op die plek wat bloei totday die moontlik is om skoon, gesteriliseerde verband aan te sit. Bring die verband stewig aan maar nie te styf nie. Kry die pasiënt so gou as moontlik by `n dokter of hospitaal. Blase: Moenie stukkend steek nie. Sit ysblokkie op om brand uit te trek. Brandwonde: Dompel in KOUE WATER. Hou so totdat die pyn bedaar � droog liggies af, draai toe met verband wat nie donserig is nie. Moet NOOIT botter, salf of poeier ens. aanwend nie. Moenie die blase stukkend steek nie. Moenie probeer om kledingstukke van `n brandwond af te pluk nie. Chemiese stowwe in oë: Laat persoon op sy rug lê. Hou die ooglede van mekaar af. Hou aan om water, van die neus se kant at, oor die oog te laat loop. Laat die persoon af en toe sy oë knip. Hou vir 10 minute aan om met koue water te was. Neem pasiënt na `n dokter of hospitaal. Diaree (maagwerking): Warmte en rus is belangrik. Vermy all vaste voedsel. Voer klein hoeveelhede water, of `n mengsel van vars lemoensap, glukose en sodawater met `n knippie sout. Kry mediese hulp. Insekbyte - insekte en plante: As daar `n angel is, verwyder dit indien moontlik. Was met KOUE WATER. As blasies voorkom, maak hulle oop met `n gesteriliseerde naald. Sodra al die vloeistof uit die blasies is, maak die plek stewig toe met `n droë verband. As daar nog pyn is, smeer antihistamienroom aan. ! Vind jy die winter se koue weer en lang, donker nagte neerdrukkend? Baie ander

mense voel net soos jy. Daar is selfs 'n erkende toestand - seisoenale-affektiewe stoornis - wat hierdie tipe teneergedruktheid omskryf. Hierdie stoornis kom veral voor in lande waar dit vir maande aaneen koud is. Gelukkig kan 'n paar eenvoudige lewenstylaanpassings 'n verskil maak.

! Gaan oor tot aksie:

Volg 'n gesonde dieet wat 'n wye verskeidenheid kosse insluit; maak seker jy neem genoeg van die B-vitamiene, óf deur kos óf deur aanvullings, in; eet kosse, soos vis en ander seekos, wat ryk is aan die omega-3 vetsure; sny stimulante soos kafeïen en sigarette uit; en doen gereelde oefening deur by die gimnasium aan te sluit of elke dag in die buitelug te gaan stap, draf of fietsry (dit sal jou "goedvoel"-hormone 'n hupstoot gee).

8

Wenke: • Plaas selderystingels in koue water sodat dit weer bros kan word. • Om holtes te verwyder wat deur swaar meubels in jou matte gemaak is, plaas `n

ysblokkie oornag in elke holte. Die volgende oggend verwyder of suig water op met `n spons, pluis mathare of met borsel of stofsuier.

• Smeer bietjie kookolie aan `n stram blikoopsnyer om dit makliker te laat draai. • As jy `n braaivleisvuur of kerse will aansteek, steek die een pount van `n stuk

rou spaghetti aan en gebruik as `n aansteker. • As jy sukkel om `n prysetiket van `n boek te verwyder, plaas `n stukkie papier

oor die etiket en stryk met `n warm yster . Dit sal die gom los maak en die etiket sal maklik los kom.

• Voorkom dat die badkamerspieël toewasem deur `n bietjie sjampoe daaroor te vryf.

• Eet proteïen vir ontbyt. Die tradisionele ontbyt van graankos, suiker en melk kan konsentrasie, fokus en aktiwiteitsvlakke Benadeel.

• Voedingstowwe wat die IK-telling kan verhoog sluit in vitamien B1, 6 en 12 en lesitien, wat in eiers aangetref word.

• Om tapyte skoon te maak: strooi koeksoda mildelik ooral op tapyt, laat 15 minute staan en stofsuig dan. Die koeksoda sal vlekke verwyder asook reuke neutraliseer en insekte weghou.

• Gooi koue swart tee by potplante, dien as kunsmis. • Koue swart tee poleer ruite en spieëls pragtig.

What to expect in a wine�������.. !! Wines are made of many differing styles, each with distinct characteristics what may make one wine a better partner for a particular dish than another wine. Here is a simple guide to the common varieties and their identifying characteristics. Remember that the enjoyment of wine is subjective and your final choice should always be made to suit your own taste.

The difference between a dry, off-dry or semi-sweet is a technical one. Basically it�s as simple as this:

• With dry wine, all the sugar is converted into alcohol by fermentation; • With off-dry and semi-sweet wine, the fermentation is stopped before all the

sugar has been converted, leaving a touch or more of sweetness in the wine. A well balanced wine has just enough natural acidity to counteract the sweetness of the juice. As a result, some off-dry and semi-sweet wines have quite a clean, crisp character that can fool you into thinking that it�s a dry wine

9

On the other hand, some grape varieties (such as hanepoot) can give the impression of sweetness, even if the wine has been made in the dry style, because to the character of the grape. Blanc de Blanc � a blended white wine made from white grapes, most often a dry wine. Blanc de Noir � any colour from white to pink, a white-style wine made from black grapes. Blanc Fumé � a dry white wine, usually a wood-matured sauvignon.

Cooking with spices �����!! The addition of a simple spice can turn an ordinary dish into something special. Here are a few spices that you should have in your kitchen and the type of dishes to use them in �� Paprika - Paprika has a sweet, mild and slightly peppery favour. Use it mainly to add a subtle flavour and deep-red colour to food. Some varieties like Spanish paprika can be quite hot. Once paprika loses its red colour and becomes brown, discard it, because the flavour will have faded. Paprika suits delicately flavoured dishes like egg, fish and shellfish, cream-based sauces and poultry, because its flavour is not overpowering. It is also often used in combination with other stronger flavoured spices in stews to give a rich colour. Ginger - Ginger is a popular spice with a clean, fresh flavour. It can be used fresh, or dried and ground and can be added to sweet or savoury dishes. Ginger is one of the key ingredients in Asian cuisine, use it in sweet bakes and desserts, especially ones that contain fruit, it is very good with curries, stir-fries, stews, pickles, drinks and mulled wine. Turmeric - A colourful, mild spice, turmeric is an essential ingredient in curries. It is also used as a dye for fabrics and as a mild digestive. Turmeric�s main use is to add a bright yellow colour to cooked foods. Coriander - Coriander seed are available whole or ground and have a sweet, aromatic flavour. The seeds should be roasted before being ground to bring out a deeper flavour. Use coriander in curries, meat dishes, vegetable dishes, pickles, biltong and dry wors. Cloves - This aromatic and versatile spice is used in sweet and savoury dishes. Slow, lengthy cooking tempers the flavours to produce a subtle flavour, which enhances savoury dishes. Add to stews, curries and boiled meats like hams and beef. Cloves are also very good with game. They are also traditionally used in fruitcakes, mulled wine and stewed fruit desserts.

10

Cinnamon - Cinnamon is a gregrant, slightly sweet spice that can beused for weet bakes and desserts and is also very good with savour dishes. A stick or a little ground cinnamon added to savourydishes will enhance their flavour. Add to curries, stews, mince, vegetable dishes and drinks like coffee or hot chocolate. Star Anise - A pretty, star- shaped pod carries the star-anise seeds. Star anise is one of the main ingredients in Chinese five-spice powder. It is used mostly in oriental dishes and as spicy, sweet flavour. Use it in oriental disches, especially pork dishes and stir-fries. It also makes an attractive garnish, so add whole pod to stewed fruit or fresh fruit salad. Cardamom - This is a very fragrant spice used extensively in Indian and Middle Eastern cuisine. Cardamom is bought with the seeds still in their green pods. The seeds keep them in the pods until just before you see them. They can then be finely ground, or whole pods can be bruised and added to a dish to achieve a more subtle flavour. Cardamom is used in sweet bakes, desserts, mulled wine and spice dishes, especially curries. Cumin - Cumin is a strongly flavoured aromatic spice. The seeds can be used whole or ground and shouled be used in moderation because the flavour can overpower more sublte flavours. Add to savoury dishes like curries, stews, tomato-based dishes and vegetable dishes, to produce a distinctive, warm flavour. Cumin is popular in Mexican, North African and Middle Eastern dishes.

How to prevent flu You can prevent yourself from contracting flu by taking a number of precautions, having your doctor innoculate you with flu vaccine, and eating the right foods.

Precautions include not coming into contact with people who are already infected. This is practically impossible because people are most infectious before the first symptoms appear. On the other hand, it's a good idea to stay at home from work or school if you have the flu so that you don't spread the infection. This is not only considerate towards your friends and colleagues, but will also hasten your recovery. If you are ill, you should stay in bed and rest, not totter around at work sneezing and coughing.

Influenza vaccinations are a good idea for young children, the elderly, anyone who is suffering from other illnesses or who is likely to be badly affected by flu (asthma, lung and heart patients) and people living in large communities such as army barracks, school hostels, etc. Contact your doctor and discuss this option.

Foods that boost immunity Mother Nature has also given us a number of foods that can help to build up immunity so that we are able to fight infections like flu. These foods include the following:

• Foods rich in vitamin C - oranges, lemons, grapefruit, pawpaw, strawberries, guavas, cabbage, broccoli, green peppers

12

• Foods rich in beta-carotene - pumpkin, sweet potato, butternut, broccoli, spinach, yellow peaches (fresh and dried)

• Foods rich in omega-3 fatty acids - fatty fish, and omega-3 enriched foods • Foods rich in zinc - fish, seafood, especially fresh and canned oysters, meat,

poultry, eggs, cheese, milk, peanut butter and unprocessed grains and cereals • Foods that contain certain fermentation organisms, such as Lactobacilli -

yoghurt and products that contain viable Lactobacilli and Bifidobacteria cultures, such as: Lactiflora or Acidoforte which contain Lactobacilli, Bifidoflora or Bifidoforte which contain Bifidobacteria, and Intestiflora or Intestiforte which contain a combination of Lactobacilli and Bifidobacteria to boost immunity in general

Infection fighters Vitamin C and beta-carotene are two of the most powerful antioxidants found in food. Antioxidants stimulate immune function and help our bodies fight diseases and infections.

Omega-3 fatty acids have a similar function and yoghurt products, which contain live Lactobacillus and/or Bifidobacterium cultures, boosts immunity by stimulating the body to produce substances called cytokines, which are involved in fighting infections.

Zinc is an essential trace element that also stimulates the body to fight infections like flu.

Supplements that boost immunity Generally speaking, I believe that anyone who eats a well-balanced diet, does not need supplements. However, people in the categories mentioned above who are exposed to greater risk of contracting flu and/or having serious side-effects, should consider taking a complete vitamin and mineral supplement.

Make sure that the supplement contains vitamin C, beta-carotene, and trace elements like zinc and selenium. The latter trace element also has a protective effect on immune function and is not always present in foods. Some popular breakfast cereals have recently been enriched with selenium. Take omega-3 capsules (salmon oil or cod liver oil) and try to eat a cup of yoghurt a day. Use the low-fat variety if you are scared that eating a milk product every day will push up your fat and cholesterol intake.

Now that live cultures of Lactobacilli and Bifidobacteria can be purchased in capsule form at most health shops, you can take these capsules on a regular basis to boost your immunity.

Our grandmothers were not so silly after all when they made their children take a spoonful of cod liver oil every day. Nowadays we don't need to hold our noses and swallow bravely, fish oil capsules are taste- and odourless.

If you do contract flu, take extra vitamin C (fresh orange or grapefruit juice) and a zinc supplement, and stay in bed and rest. No running around, just plenty of rest and warmth and you will get over this unpleasant illness a lot faster.

By eating correctly and taking some precautions, you stand a good chance of avoiding the unpleasant illnesses of winter. - (Dr I.V. van Heerden, DietDoc)

It is found that a mixture of Honey and Cinnamon cures most diseases. ! Honey is produced in most of the countries of the world. ! Ayurvedic, as well as Yunani medicine, have been using honey as a vital

medicine for centuries. ! Scientists of today also accept honey as a Ram Ban (very effective) medicine for

all kinds of diseases. ! Honey can be used without any side effects for all kinds of diseases. ! Today's science says that, even though honey is sweet, if taken in the right

dosage as a medicine, it will not harm diabetic patients. ARTHRITIS: ! Take one part honey to two parts of luke warm water and add a small teaspoon

of cinnamon powder. Make a paste and massage it on the itching part of the body slowly.

! The pain should recede within fifteen minutes in most cases. ! Arthritis patients can take one cup of hot water with two spoons of honey and

one small teaspoon of cinnamon powder every day. ! If drunk regularly, even chronic arthritis can be cured. ! In a recent research done at Copenhagen University, it was found that when the

doctors treated their patients with a mixture of one tablespoon honey and half a teaspoon of cinnamon powder before breakfast, they found that within a week, out of the 200 people treated, 73 patients were totally relieved of pain within a month. Mostly of these patients could not walk or move around freely, but after the therapy, they started walking with less pain.

TOOTHACHE: ! Make a paste of one teaspoon of cinnamon powder and five teaspoons of honey,

and apply on the aching tooth. This may be done 3 times a day (daily) till such time, that the tooth has stopped aching.

CHOLESTEROL: ! Two tablespoons of honey and three teaspoons of cinnamon powder mixed in 16

ounces of tea, when given to a cholesterol patient, reduces the level of cholesterol in the blood by 10% within 2 hours.

! As mentioned for arthritic patients - If taken 3 times a day, it lowers the cholesterol level.

! As per the information received in a Medical Journal, pure honey taken with food daily relieves complaints of cholesterol.

COLDS: ! Those suffering from common or severe colds should take one tablespoon of

luke warm honey with ¼ teaspoon cinnamon powder daily for 3 days. ! This process will cure most chronic cough, cold and clear the sinuses.

14

STOMACH UPSET: ! Honey taken with cinnamon powder cures stomach ache and also clears

stomach ulcers from the root. GAS : ! According to the studies done in India and Japan, it is revealed that honey, if

taken with cinnamon powder, relieves gas and pain in the stomach.

IMMUNE SYSTEM: ! Daily use of honey and cinnamon powder strengthens the immune system and

protects the body from bacteria and viral attacks. ! Scientists have found that honey has various vitamins and iron in large

amounts. ! Constant use of honey strengthens the white blood corpuscles to fight bacteria

and viral diseases. INDIGESTION: ! Cinnamon powder sprinkled on 2 tablespoons of honey taken before food,

relieves acidity and digests the heaviest of meals.

FATIGUE: ! Recent studies have shown that the sugar content of honey is more helpful than

detrimental to one�s body strength. ! Senior citizens who take honey and cinnamon power in equal parts are more

alert and flexible. ! Dr. Milton, who has carried out extensive research on this subject, says that, half

a tablespoon of honey taken in a glass of water and sprinkled with cinnamon powder taken daily after brushing, and again in the afternoon around 3.00 p.m. when the vitality of the body starts decreasing, increases the vitality of the body within a week.

A relaxed attitude lengthens life; jealousy rots it away.

When your heart speaks, take good notes�.

People ruin their lives by their own foolishness and then are angry at the Lord.

Above all else, guard your heart, for it affects everything you do.

A HUNTER�S PRAYER for YOU May the sun always shine on your windowpane;

May a rainbow be certain to follow each rain; May the hand of a friend always be near you;

May God fill your heart with gladness to cheer you. May you hunt with thankfulness in nature�s beauty,

For to conserve nature is your God-given duty. Be ever conscious of God�s presence and protection

For he made you in His own image to rule with conviction over the fish in the sea, animals in the field,

birds in the air. For wherever you venture to hunt,

God is everywhere. (With acknowledgement to Sue Lombard)

Spesiaal aan al ons Vroue, �n pragtige verwerking van Ps. 23

Die Here is my Herder, ek sal géén hartseer vrees nie, Hy droog my trane, ja, ek is ewig Sy dogter-kind!

Wanneer ek, as vrou, die gevoel van 'alleen' wees ervaar, hou SY hande myne - stewig vas. Hy vertroetel en Hy vertroos my;

met `n oneindige Liefde wat net Hy vir my kan skenk. Wanneer familie en vriende té ver is vir net gou-`n-drukkie-gee,

sal Hy gereed staan, want wie is daar wat beter van my �vrouwees� weet? En al gaan my lewe of verhoudings deur donker dae,

sal Hy my altyd teen Sy boesem hou en daaraan herinner: ek is EKSTRA spesiaal, want ek, EK is vrou!

(Mandi Kleinhans)

GEBOORTE VAN LENTE

Gelukkig en bly was die dag toe die Reënt met die Sonskyn gaan trou het; veelverwing die boog wat die Lug vir `n troupresent kunstig gebou het.

Getwis het hul eens op `n dag met `n storm verwytende woorde;

die Sonskyn verdwyn en die Reënt word `n haelbui koud uit die noorde.

Versoen raak hul weer en betaal agterstallige Liefde ! met rente ! En Sonskyn en Reënt juig tesaam oor `n liewe klein dogtertjie: Lente!

Nataniël sê: �Net die kleur van `n emmer blomme by die mark is genoeg rede vir `n samekoms. Nooi almal, kook jouself lam of bel die spysenier, kry die lot bymekaar en vier die gawe van eet. En ontspan! Nie elke gereg wat jy ooit aandurf, is `n treffer nie. Af en toe lig daar `n wenkbrou of iemand is skielik nie meer honger nie, jy haal net diep asem, draai die musiek bietjie harder, glimlag op jou mooiste en skink nog wyn. Die sukses van gasvrou of gasheer wees lê daarin dat jy jou opgewondenheid deel met ander, dat jy jou dankbaarheid wys, dat jy jou seëninge belangriker ag as jou kookvernuf, en dat jou mooiste tabberd nie lê en vergaan tussen troues en begrafnisse nie. Kry jouself en jou gesin terug by die tafel, ten minste een keer per dag. Bring terug die seremonie, die paar oomblikke se rus, die meditasie van stadig eet, van behoorlik proe en mekaar waardeer. Die tafel is die plek van samekoms, die kring van veiligheid, die altaar van herinnerige, die plek waar jy jou kinders leer van smake, tekstuur en balans. Die etenstafel moet elkeen verwelkom en vereer, geen maaltyd is ooir onbelangrik nie!� aldus Nataniël - uittreksel uit �Clover� � 26 Sep. �04.

GOUE ReëLS VIR DIE JAG VAN WILD (Met erkenning aan Chris Vorster)

1. Jag altyd op koeler dae, vermy warm somerdae tensy karkas dadelik afgevoer kan word om bewerk en verkoel te word.

2. Werk altyd uiters skoon en neem water veld toe om jou hande asook die mes te was nadat jy die bok keelaf gesny het.

3. Laat die bok so spoedig moontlik uitbloei. 4. Haal die pens en binnegoed so gou as moontlik uit, kry karkas in koelte 5. Moenie die vel verwyder alvorens die karkas nie na behore rypgemaak is

nie. Normaalweg tussen 5 na 8 dae. 6. Moenie die karkas met water afwas nie, gebruik verkieslik asyn met water

gemeng.

Geloof is om God op sy woord te neem

en dit met Hom die lewe in te waag want geloof is daar om gebruik te word.

LEWER en NIERTJIES (Met erkenning aan Chris Vorster) Dit bly maar een van die lekkerste velddisse met �n paar miskoeke, doringtakkies en mieliestronke as kole. Hier geld geen voorskrifte nie, maar die geheim is om dit skoon te was en alle membrane, kliertjies en nierpypies te verwyder. Week skoongemaakte lewer en niere vooraf vir �n paar uur in of melk of yoghurt. Waak teen oorgaarmaak, aangesien dit maar �n droë spul kan afgee. Geniet met sout en peper wat in jou rugsak of geweersak behoort te wees. Vir ontbyt is jou verbeelding jou resep- tamatie, uie, sampioene, groen rissie, varkspek, jeripico, room � en �n koningsdis wag om verorber te word.

In `n stil straat staan `n huisie met `n tuin met welige laventelbosse,

`n koel stoep en agter die groen voordeur wag `n vrou, vol verrassings.....

Bardeer: Om te bardeer, betken om die oppervlak van die vleis met groot, plat skywe spekvleisvet te bedek. Tydens die gaarmaaktyd bedruip die vet die vleis. Marinades: Elkeen het sy eie voorkeure met wildsvleis. Party verkies om met wyn te marineer. Ondervinding het my geleer karringmelk of ongegeurge joghurt is die beste. Jy kan `n gekerfde ui bysit, asook wortels, preie, seldery, kruie, peperkorrels en lourierblare. GEURIGE AARTAPPEL BALLETJIES Meng kapokaartappels met genoeg romerige slaaisous om `n styewe mengsel te vorm. Voet sout en paprika na smaak by en dan genoeg gerapserde kaas om `n deeg te maak.

Sny die spek in lang repies omtrent `n 6 mm dik en 5 tot 7 cm lank. Meng al die ander bestanddele goed. Laat die spek in die mengsel van kruie en asyn lê. Stop die boud daarmee deur met `n skerp mes diep snye in die vleis te maak, `n vinger in elke sny te steek om dit te rek en dan `n stukkie spek daarin te druk. (As die repies spek bevries word is hulle styf en sal makliker stop.) Sit die vleis in `n diep skottel en gooi die orige asynmengsel daaroor. Laat dit 2 tot 4 dae lank in die mengsel lê en draai dit eenkeer om. Haal die boud uit die asynmengsel, droog dit effens af met `n doek en braai dit in `n pot. Voeg 125 tot 187ml soetwyn by 30 minute voordat dit klaar gebraai het. Sorg dat daar nog `n bietjie vloeistof in die braaipot is as die wyn bygevoeg word, anders sal dit `n bitter smaak kry as dit by die warm vet sonder vloeistof gevoeg word. Dien die vleis met sous en kweperjellie op. L.W. Dit sal nie nodig wees om die vleis met meel, sout en peper in te vryf voor dit gebraai word nie. Indien verkies kan meer sout bygevoeg word terwyl dit braai.

tot gevolg te hê nie. Ons is lank reeds verby die dae van drillende Babelse torings en vla-bedekte moorde. Probeer `n slag iets ligs, visueel eenvoudig en verrassed,

Dinge van die hart: Die hart was deur al die eeue heen in alle kulture `n belangrike simbool. In die literatuur en kuns word daarna verwys as die kern van lewe, die bron van intellek, wil, moed, gevoelens en emosies. Die antieke Egiptenare het met die balseming van `n lyk alle organe behalwe die hart verwyder. Dit was vir hulle ondenkbaar dat daar `n lewe na die dood kon wees sonder die belangrikste bron van lewe, die hart. Dit was vir die hartpionier dr. Chris Barnard interessant dat die Bybel meer as 300 keer verwys na die hart. Volgens hom het die hart vir ons soveel betekenis omdat dit die enigste orgaan is wat direk op spanning of emosies reageer. As ons kwaad, bang of opgewonde is, klop dit harder en vinniger.

Voeg die sout, peper en kruie by en prit stadig vir 60 tot 75 minute. Maak net nou en dan oop om te sien hoe sag die vleis is, anders kook dit alles te fyn. Gooi alle oortollige vloeistof af, voeg die Port en sampioene by en met deksel op, prut stadig vir `n verdere 10 tot 15 minute. As u piesangs en lemoene het, kan u so drie piesangs en twee lemoene fyn sny en inroer by die kooksel. Los die deksel op en laat eenkant staan in die warm as vir 15 tot 20 minute (pas net op vir aanbrand) . Bedien met varsgebakte bierbrood of slappap as korsbasis.

Add the prawns and coconut milk. Add salt as required. Mix gently. Simmer on low heat for about 3 minutes. Mix in the remaining ghee (clarified butter) and cover tight for a little while.

TIPS: Traditionally, pure ghee(clarified butter) is a must in this recipe. However it can be substituted with any cooking oil, although that may not result in as flavorful a dish.

Coconut milk is available in tins or tetrapacks off the shelf in Asian markets. However, it is important that it be of a fresh date.

MAAMOUL (With acknowledgement to Mary-Ann Rebula) ½ cup solid shortening 8 tablespoons or 4 ounces butter 1 cup flour, all purpose 2 cups semolina ¼ teaspoon salt ¼ teaspoon baking power ¼ cup granulated sugar 2 Tablespoons rose flower water 1 tablespoon orange flower water 7 tablespoons water walnut or date filling (recipe follows) confectioners sugar Do not expect the dough to be cohesive but it will be damp enough to form into balls to pack into the cookie molds. This recipe needs to be started a day ahead. Melt shortening and butter together or use all butter if you wish a richer cookie. Cool slightly. Mix flour, semolina, salt, baking powder and sugar together. Rub melted shortening into dough with fingertips until it is like fine soft meal. Cover bowl and let it rest overnight. Combine flower waters with 7 tablespoons water and sprinkle over the dough. Toss lightly with a fork to distribute liquid evenly. Mix until just combined, like pie dough. (another person says to knead the dough well). Dust maamoul molds well with flour. Invert and tap gently to remove excess flour. Estimate the amount of dough need to fill maamoul mold and make a ball of dough. Flatten it out slightly and place a good tablespoon of filling in center. Close dough around filling to cover it. Pack ball into mold. Level off cookie even with the lip of the mold. Be sure you have not revealed filling or it will stick to the pan as it bakes. Tap cookies out onto the work area with a sharp firm hit to the top of the mold. Transfer cookies to baking sheet with a spatula. Bake at 300 to 325deg F about 12 minutes, until barely colored. Cool. Sprinkle or rub with confectioners sugar before serving. MAAMOUL Dough: 3 1/3 cups flour 2 Tbsp sugar 8 oz unsalted butter 1 Tbsp rose orange-blossom water 1 Tbsp milk Confectioners' sugar to sprinkle on Mix the flour and sugar and cut in the butter. Add the flower water and just enough milk to bind the dough into a soft ball. Nut filling: 1½ cups walnuts or pistachios, finely chopped 4-5 Tbsp sugar 1 Tsp cinnamon 2tbsp rose or orange-blossom water Mix all the ingredients together. Take walnut sized lumps of dough and make a hole in the center with your thumb, pushing the dough up the sides of your thumb, making a hollow container. Fill the container with the nut filling ¾ full. Cover the opening by folding the container shut. Prick with a fork. Bake 325° For 20-30 minutes. Do not brown. Cool before removing from pan. Sprinkle with confectioners sugar.

Cut the butter into small cubes, and add slowly to flour, until butter is dusted with the flour. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Combine orange flour water with 10 teaspoons of water in a small pot. Mix well. Add the mixture to the flour and butter. Using a fork, combine to make a smooth dough. Cover with a damp towel and set aside for 25 minutes. Divide the dough in four pieces. Roll each piece into a 1.25" cylinder. Cut the cylinder into one inch pieces. Roll each piece in your hand to make a ball. Punch a hole with your finger in the dough. Roll the ball in your hand until it is shaped like golf ball. Add 1 teaspoon of dates to each ball, roll into a ball. Indent the balls with a fork Bake for 30 minutes or until the Maamoul dough hardens. Sprinkle with confectioner�s sugar.

WALNUT OR PISTACHIO FILLING (With acknowledgement to Mary-Ann Rebula) 1 ½ cups finely chopped walnuts or pistachios 2 Tablespoons orange flower water ¼ cup sugar ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon Mix well together. Date filling: 1 ½ cups chopped dates 6 tablespoons cutter Cook dates with butter over low heat for 15-20 minutes. Mash occasionally until dates are completely pureed. Cool before filling. Date filling is traditionally used with a flat maamoul mold, rather than the rounded variety. LABNE (With acknowledgement to Mary-Ann Rebula) 6 cups plain yogurt 2 teaspoons salt In a large bowl, stir the salt into the yogurt. Place the yogurt in the center of a piece of doubled cheese cloth, or piece of soft cotton. Pull corners up and tie tightly. Suspend from a stationary object over a bowl (to catch liquid), usually utilizing the faucet over a sink. Let this hang overnight or about 12 hours. When well drained it will be the consistency of cottage cheese. Remove from the cloth. Store covered in the refrigerator until needed. Eat with olives or olive oil, and pita bread.

STRAWBERRY SMOOTHIE (With acknowledgement to Mary-Ann Rebula) 1 punnet of strawberries 1½ cups of live vanilla/natural yoghurt OR 1½ cups of vanilla ice cream 400ml Apple juice Handful of crushed ice Wash the strawberries and remove their stalks. For full flavour the strawberries should be at room temperature, storing strawberries / tomatoes in the fridge can mask some of their flavour. Juice the apples in your juicer or if you haven't got a juicer then you can use apple juice from a carton. Place the yoghurt (or ice cream if you are feeling indulgent) and ¼ of the apple juice in your blender, switch on and then add the ice and strawberries and blend until smooth. Finally add the rest of the apple juice and blitz briefly until it is thoroughly blended into the smoothie. Vary the amount of apple juice depending on how thick you like your smoothies to be. The longer you blend the mixture for, the more air will be introduced into the drink and oxidation of nutrients will occur more rapidly. Drink immediately and enjoy!

BREYANI Rice Layer: 400g (500 ml) long grain rice 100g (125 ml) large brown lentils 10 ml salt 2 ml turmeric 1 litre water Mince Layer: 2 onions, thinly sliced 500g lean beef mince 3 cloves 3 cardamom pods, bruised 2 pieces stick cinnamon 5 ml crushed fresh ginger 5 ml crushed garlic 10 ml ground cumin 10 ml ground coriander 5 ml crushed dried chilli 5 ml turmeric 30 ml tomato paste 125 frozen diced carrots 125 g frozen peas 55g (55 ml) butter 150 ml water Rice Layer: Simmer the rice and lentils in water with the turmeric and salt for 20 minutes. Rinse and drain in a colander. Mince Layer: Combine onions, mince, cloves, cardamom, ginger and garlic and cook in a large saucepan over medium heat for 30 minutes, stirring to create a smooth texture. Add the cumin, coriander, chilli powder, turmeric, salt and tomato paste. Cook for a further 10 minutes or until spices are well blended. Add the mixed vegetables and cook for 5 minutes. Spoon half the rice mixture into a large saucepan or ovenproof dish, top with mince mixture and end with a layer of the remaining rice. Dot with butter and sprinkle with water. Cover the pan with a tight-fitting lid and cook on high for 5 minutes. Reduce heat and simmer on medium for about 30 minutes (or bake at 180ºC). Serve with salad and chutney. CREAMY CHICKEN CURRY Another way to stretch meat is to add pulses such as beans or lentils, which are filling. Red lentils are small and absorb the flavour of meat, so are ideal to add to stews or curries if you are not a bean fan. Pulses are a good source of protein and are cheaper and healthier than meat, so give them a try. In this recipe the chicken meat has been taken off the bone to make it go further. By doing this and by adding lentils, less chicken is needed, making it more economical. Vegetables have been added to stretch the dish even further, and yoghurt instead of coconut or cream, to give it a creamy finish. 30 ml sunflower oil 1 onion, chopped 2 cloves garlic, crushed 30-40 ml curry powder 550 ml chicken stock 3 chicken breasts 2 tomatoes, chopped 30 ml desiccated coconut 15 ml vinegar 1 apple, peeled and diced 2 potatoes, quartered 200 ml red lentils 100 g green beans, halved 250 ml butternut, peeled and cubed 250 ml natural yoghurt

Draai die oond af na 120°C en bak verder vir 1 uur. CHICKEN IN MILK (With acknowledgement to Jamie Oliver � The Naked Chef) A slightly odd, but really fantastic combination, which must be tried 1.5 kg organic chicken Salt and freshly ground black pepper 115gr butter ½ cinnamon stick 1 good handful fresh sage, leaves picked 2 lemons, zested 6 garlic cloves, skin left on 565ml milk Preheat the oven to 190°C and find a snug-fitting pot for the chicken. Season it generously all over with salt and pepper, and fry it in the butter, turning the chicken to get an even color all over, until golden. Remove from the heat, put the chicken on a plate, and throw away the butter left in the pot. This will leave you with tasty sticky goodness at the bottom of the pan, which will give you a lovely caramel flavor later on. Put your chicken back in the pot with the rest of the ingredients, and cook in the preheated oven for 1 ½ hours. Baste with the cooking juice when you remember. The lemon zest will sort of split the milk, making a sauce, which is absolutely fantastic. To serve, pull the meat off the bones and divide it on to your plates. Spoon over plenty of juice and the little curds. Serve with wilted spinach or greens and some mashed potato. BEEF WITH SOY SAUCE AND GINGER (With acknowledgement to Jamie Oliver � The Naked Chef) 225 gr sirloin steaks Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper 2 pak choy or bok choy (even spinach or any other greens will do) 8 tablespoons soy sauce 1 thumb-sized piece of ginger, peeled 1 chilli, deseeded and finely chopped ½ a garlic clove, finely grated 1 lime, juiced Olive oil On a very hot griddle pan, cook your seasoned piece of sirloin steak until medium or to your liking. Place in a plate and allow to rest for 2 minutes. Now cook your greens in salted boiling water until tender. While hot, douse with a good couple of tablespoons of soy sauce, and sprinkle with the garlic, ginger, chilli, lime juice and olive oil. When the greens are cooked, simply divide onto two plates, thinly slice up the sirloin steaks, place on top of the greens and drizzle with any of the infused sauce left on the resting plate.

Place the figs on a large plate and weave around I piece of prosciutto or Palma ham around each fig. Add the ripped up basil and the buffalo mozzarella. Drizzle over the honey, making sure each fig has some in the middle, then drizzle the olive oil, lemon juice, and salt and pepper.

SEARED SALMON WITH COURGETTES, ASPARAGUS AND ROCKET (With acknowledgement to Jamie Oliver � The Naked Chef) 170g salmon fillets, skinned Extra-virgin olive oil 4 baby courgettes (zucchini), sliced lengthways 4 yellow courgette roughly chopped (if not available, use green courgettes) Pinch Maldon sea salt 2 good handfuls thin asparagus 200g rocket (arugula) 2 lemons, halved For the dressing: Large handful of fresh thyme leaves picked Maldon sea salt 4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil 1 lemon, juiced Season the salmon fillets and lightly drizzle them in olive oil. Season the courgettes and asparagus with salt. Heat a griddle pan (or, ideally, use a barbecue) and, when very hot, sear the salmon and vegetables until nicely char-grilled. This should only take a few minutes on each side. Meanwhile, make your dressing. In a pestle and mortar, bash the thyme with a pinch of salt until nicely bruised (or you can finely chop the thyme if you don�t own a pestle). Pour in the olive oil and lemon juice and stir. Remove the salmon and vegetables from the heat. Toss the vegetables with the rocket, drizzle with the dressing and serve with the salmon. Finish off with a bit more dressing drizzled over the salmon. Serve with half a lemon. Lovely. MARINATED FETA CHEESE SALAD (With acknowledgement to Jamie Oliver � The Naked Chef) Feta cheese Flaked dry red chilli Dried oregano Dried parsley Bay leaf Dried lemon thyme Dried purple basil Freshly ground black pepper Fennel seeds Remove the feta cheese from the pack and pat as dry as possible with kitchen towel. Press the flavours into it. Pack the cheese tightly into a jar and cover with olive oil. It will keep in the fridge for up to two months. Tips: Don�t use bought dried herbs, instead make your own by drying leftover fresh herbs on a baking sheet. Leave them somewhere warm; e.g. on top of your boiler, washing machine, or oven and they will dry within a week. Or put them in the oven at 200 to 225 degrees for 1 hour. Uses: On a big plate, covered in fresh basil � served with lots of other salads. As a cheese course, with crusty bread and fruit Don�t throw away the oil � use it in your dressing.

SALTED PRESERVED LEMONS (With acknowledgement to Jamie Oliver � The Naked Chef) This is a Moroccan recipe. Fennel seeds Coriander seeds Cinnamon stick Peppercorns Bay Leaf Sea salt Large fat Lemons (preferably Sicilian ones with the leaves still attached) . In a bowl mix the spices into the sea salt. Cut a cross into the lemons � almost to the base, but so that the quarters stay together. Push the seasoned salt into the lemon segments and pack the lemons as tightly as possible into an airtight jar. The less space there is between the lemons the more attractive it will look and you won�t need to use so much salt. The lemons will be ready after one month of preserving, and will last for about 2 years. Tips: The peel is edible. This also works very well with limes. You could preserve oranges like this too � but there are not so many recipes which use them. You must use sea salt not table salt � table salt is too chemical and harsh. Uses: For seasoning rice and couscous � it works like salt and makes the rice and couscous lemon scented. Put chicken/fish into a foil bag and bake with the lemon salt. Use to season stews and soups. CHOCOLATE FRIDGE CAKE (With acknowledgement to Jamie Oliver � The Naked Chef) 150gr digestive biscuits 100gr pecans 100grams pistachio nuts 10 glace cherries 2 ready made meringue nests, crumbled into small pieces 150gr butter 1 tablespoon golden syrup 200gr good quality chocolate Cocoa powder, for dusting Break the biscuits into small pieces directly into a large bowl. Add the pecans, pistachio nuts, cherries and bits of meringue. Put the rest of the ingredients, except the cocoa powder, into a bowl and put over a pan of simmering water on low heat to melt. Mix the ingredients together and place in the container which acts as your mold. To help with turning out, line a 30 by 20 centimetre container with cling film, first leaving plenty of extra film at the edges to fold over the top. Leave in the refrigerator to firm up then turn out and cut into chunky slices. This cake can be kept in an airtight container and actually improves after a couple of days.

THE KING OF PUDDINGS (With acknowledgement to Jamie Oliver � The Naked Chef) 4 eggs 565ml milk 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 115gr fine bread crumbs 225gr sugar 4 level tablespoons jam (raspberry jam is really nice) Preheat the oven to 150°C. Separate 3 of the eggs. Put the yolks in a bowl with the remaining whole egg and beat together. Add the milk, vanilla essence, bread crumbs, and 3 ounces (85 grams) of the sugar. Put the jam on the bottom of a pie dish and spread it evenly. Pour the egg and milk mixture over the jam. Bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour or until set. Whisk the remaining egg whites until stiff. You could use an electric whisk for this. Slowly add the remaining sugar until it is all mixed in. Pile this mixture on top of the pudding mixture, then bake in the oven for a further 15 to 20 minutes until the meringue is set and lightly browned. THE BEST PASTA SALAD (With acknowledgement to Jamie Oliver � The Naked Chef) 310gr small shell-shaped pasta 3 cloves garlic 225gr yellow cherry tomatoes 225gr red cherry tomatoes ½ cucumber 1 handful black olives, pitted 2 tablespoons fresh chives I handful fresh basil 7 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil 4 tablespoons white wine vinegar Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper Bring a large pan of salted water to the boil, add the pasta and garlic, and simmer for about 5 minutes or until al dente, and drain. Put the garlic to one side for the dressing. Put the pasta in a bowl. Cut the tomatoes, cucumber, and black olives into small pieces, about half the size of the pasta, and place in the round metal container. Roughly chop the herbs and place these in the container. Using a fork mash the cooked garlic cloves on the board with a little salt, add to the salad. Add the oil, vinegar, and seasoning. PORK WITH PEACHES (With acknowledgement to Jamie Oliver � The Naked Chef) This fruit and meat combo is great. Give it a bash as it makes a really good change to plain old roast pork. 1 ½ kg pork loin, boned 1 bunch fresh thyme, leaves pickled bulb garlic 200gr butter 2 tins (cans) peaches in natural juice, drained Salt and freshly ground black pepper Around 15 slices of pancetta, streaky bacon, or Parma ham 1 glass (about 6 ounces) white wine A little flour 1 glass water

126

Preheat the oven to 220°C. Score the skin of the pork through the fat, the incisions should be about 1 centimetre apart. Turn over. Make a pocket for the stuffing by cutting an incision at an angle, about 3 inches (7.5 centimetres) deep in the centre of the streaky part of the loin, working away from the eye meat. Starting slightly in from the side of the meat, slowly slice along the loin not quite to the end, this will ensure your stuffing won't fall out. Chop half the thyme with 1 clove of garlic and scrunch together with the butter, 1 tin of peaches, and a good pinch of salt and pepper. Push the butter into the pocket and pat back into shape. Lay the pancetta, bacon or Parma ham over the pork, leaving the skin side uncovered, and tie up firmly with 3 to 4 pieces of string. Place skin-side up in a roasting tray with the remaining peaches, the garlic cloves, thyme, and half of the white wine. Roast for around 1 hour until the skin is crisp and golden. When ready, remove the pork and peaches to a plate and leave to rest for 15 minutes whilst you finish the sauce. To do this, remove most of the fat from the roasting tray, then place the tray over a high heat. Squash the cooked garlic and add 1 tablespoon of flour. Stir and add the rest of the wine with a glass of water or stock. Simmer and leave to reduce for a few minutes. Strain and add any extra juices from the rested pork. Check the seasoning and consistency and serve drizzled over the sliced pork. YOGHURT, MINT AND LIME MARINADE (With acknowledgement to Jamie Oliver � The Naked Chef) 250ml natural organic yoghurt 2 good handfuls of fresh mint, chopped 2 limes, zested and juiced 1 tablespoon coriander seeds, crushed Salt and freshly ground black pepper A couple of lugs (2 tablespoons) olive oil. Mix together the ingredients and smear over your chosen meat before leaving it to marinate.

Melkkos �Wat ons melkkos noem, is gewoonlik een of ander kossoort, soos meel (in frummletjies, kluitjies, macaroni) wat in melk gekook word en met die melk self opgedis word, soms nadat di emelk eers verdik is met botter of room of iets anders. Wie herinner hom nie uit sy jongdae �n koue winteraand toe Moeder �n sopkom opgedis het vol met heerlike sagye witmeelkluitjies, swemmende in die verdikte melk, met aromatiese kaneel. Tant Alie het altyd beweer dat dit belis nodig is dat die kok �n YSKOUE hand moet hê en dat die melk siedend kokend moet wees as elke kluitjie daarin verdrink. Die kuns om goeie kluitjies te maak, is amper uitgesterwe. Dit is die moeite werd om dit te laat herlewe, want melkkluitjies is een va die beste kossoorte wat ons het, en as gied goed gemaak is,m een van die maklikste om te verteer� C.L. Leipoldt (Sarie Aug 06)

Hou die meelmengsel onder �n druppende kraan en vorm groot frummels met jou vingerpunte. Moenie oorwerk nie. Neem eers klein bietjies van die gevormde frummels en werk deur met die hand, plaas eenkant en hou aan totdat al die meel opgewerk is en die frummels los van mekaar en net-net met meel bedek is. Voeg die frummels by die warm melk en kook vir 3-4 minute. Sit �n deksel op en plaas in warm oond totdat verdik.
