So we've baked it and made the pastry for some biltong tarts and the crust for some Hertzog Koekies and bought some koeksusters and are ordering some veg Biryani. A friend is bringing Samp and Beans and we are hoping to make ginger beer today. [Friends and family - consider yourself invited. Contact me for details!]

Kerplunk Cake!
Things here are frenetic! Friday is the official launch of the Freshly Found Online Shop at my home - and plans are that the site will go live by the end of the day! It is an online shop, but I have decided to mark the occasion by having some friends and family round on the day! The food is going to have a South African theme. We came across Madeleine van Biljoen's Pardoemskoek Recipe. It is basically a fruit cake with so much fruit that as it hits your stomach it sinks to the bottom with a heavy pardoems [in Afrikaans] or kerplunk[in English]! Just the type of cake I love!

Yum! Good luck with the rest of the preparations.
Such ingenuity in your menu!
How I wish your were closer...
I have never eaten or heard of any of the things on your menu (except the ginger beer). I love the internet for teaching us new things each day and allowing us to share such things. Congratulations on your store opening! I'll be sure to tweet about it :-)
Yummy! such good hearty South African food. Not even the weather could put a damper on that menu. Now I feel like some Biryani. I'm sure your table decor is going to be special too. Looking forward to browsing your new shop.
Congratulations! I have followed your blog, its always so inspiring and I look forward to your online shop. I too am excited about the opening of my shop on 1st october.
