Design a cookbook with a South African influence... must contain cover, introduction, contents and two recipes...
Once upon a time, in Southern Africa, there lived 2 sisters... Lauren and Dayle... both very different people... Dayle the rebel, and Lauren the prissy... Dayle being the younger of the two, was married, had two girls, and divorced by the age of 23, and Lauren, married still with two girls...
Dayle and Lauren have always had an interest in tasty food, and their reason being... their mother could never cook nice food... it was always so bland and tasteless. Dayle is addicted to butter (won’t touch marg), and Lauren uses about 3 tablespoons of garlic per dish... The reason for their addictions, is again... because they were deprived of flavour in their childhood meals...
Dayle is my mother, and she can whip up a superb dish, as she had to experiment a lot with eggs in my childhood, as a result of poverty.
She can make an egg dish seem eggless (my sister and I don’t eat egg to eagerly nowadays)... Lauren is my aunty... who can make anything
really... her mains will contain garlic... and her puddings probably contain alcohol... (I once braved her tiramisu... and it was like throwing back a Stroh rum shooter per teaspoon).
These two vastly different humans decided to take the next step in cooking... Lauren has a small, self catering business which she manages and runs alone, cooking from her home kitchen...
My mother, Dayle, decided... she is entrepreneur of the year, and took a leap... She opened a large catering/food functions/cooking classes/oven-hob hiring/chef school in July 2011... called Fatcow Catering and Training school. The venue is enormous and can school 32 students, teaching them all there is to know about culinary arts and food
education, practical and theory. She runs her school with executive chef Warwick Thomas, and has been firing it up in their 16-stove kitchen.
So here goes the cookbook of the year... Fatcow catering vs. my aunty Laurens catering. This book will give you a recipe from each of the sisters and its up to you to test them out, starting with their best South African inspired dish...
