Internet Cookery South African Style

Renowned as South Africa's legacy wine estate, working farm and lifestyle venue, Boschendal, is operating a staged closure over the coming days in response to the COVID-19 crisis.

This includes the estate's award-winning farm-to-fork restaurants and deli. However, to ensure guests don't miss out on the chance to experience their vibrant menu they will be sharing some of their favourite recipes from the Bakery and Werf Kitchen online, encouraging people to cook along at home and learn some new skills in the process.

Their passionate kitchen teams will be on hand to answer questions, discuss tips and tricks and support the community of culinary enthusiasts from a safe distance.

All recipes will champion fresh, seasonal produce and local, ethically-sourced ingredients, echoing the farm-to-table approach taken at all of the eateries at Boschendal. They will be delicious, easy to make and bring a taste of the farm into the home.

The first of the recipes will be for their signature hot cross buns in preparation for at-home Easter celebrations.

Light, comforting and delicately-spiced, they are the perfect breakfast or tea-time treat for the long weekend - best served lightly toasted and slathered in fresh farm butter.

They will also share a traditional recipe from the Cape – a Masala Fish Dish, inspired by the classic Malay flavours of pickled fish.

Look out for a series of videos, blog posts and downloadable recipes on www.boschendal.com or by following them on Instagram and Facebook.

Boschendal to offer free free-range happy eggs for their valuable workforce
With 4,500 acres of agriculture that continues to be maintained, Boschendal is fortunate enough to have an endless supply of fresh farm eggs for the taking.

These are being distributed across the Boschendal Family to share within their own communities and offer some relief during this very challenging time.

They will continue to provide what they can for those in need in the surrounding communities over the coming weeks and months.
