“Cooking vetkoek with curried mince is an art which South African tannies have spent generations getting just right. As I sat there enjoying the food, I was grateful to them all, especially my own mother who taught me me how to do it. There in my kitchen, eating that vetkoek and mince, I had that feeling I'd expect you would have when you go to a church you have faith in. I said I didn't believe in anything, that my faith went out the window, but maybe that wasn't true. I believe in vetkoek and with curried mince, and all the tannies who made them. If the end of the world was coming, this was the meal I'd make.” Tannie MariaVetkoekSouth AfricansVetkoek With Curried Mince Book:Recipes for Love and Murder Source: Recipes for Love and Murder
