We know that our readers love South African recipes more than any others. I think it’s partly to do with nostalgia (remembering your granny by cooking her milk tart recipe), partly comfort but mostly because South African recipes tend to be rather delicious.
Here are 20 of the most popular South African recipes on our blog.

Mouth watering to say the least, leaves one’s tastebuds wanting to do handstands, but, are they Diabetic friendly? Are there not some really awesome dishes that you can publish that are also Diabetic friendly on occasions? There are many Getaway readers that rely on the mundane recipe books for eating ideas, but how about Getaway encouraging readership by having a Diabetic section?
