The delicious recipes in her new book are sure to leave your mouth watering.
Since January is 90 days long and not everyone has money for fancy toast, the Breakfast with Martin Bester team and their listeners shared their best budget-friendly toast ideas with Leith.
Jacaranda FM presenter, Philicty Reeken, also brought some Koolkos on toast for the South African-born chef to try. Koolkos is a dish made with cabbage, potato, and spices
“Koolkos is menskos. Kos vir die mense, kos wat volmaak en met liefde gemaak is. Iets waarmee jy groot word."
What’s more comforting and satisfying than toast? If you top it with a few cleverly paired ingredients, it can be a full meal, not to mention pure bliss.
