As promised I will tell you about my weekend adventures.
It didn't go as planned as such (does it ever really?!), but I did make a really good soup from my new Indonesian cookbook that I feel I have to share :)
Chicken and Chive soup is really easy to make and the perfect weapon against a vicious cold.
All you need is:
- Chicken
- Chives
- Fresh Garlic
- Fresh Ginger
- Bamboo Shoots
- Water
- Chicken Stock
- Mushrooms
- White pepper
Sauté the garlic and ginger in a little bit of oil. Add the stock and water and bring to a vigorous boil. Add the chicken (really small cubes) and boil for about 5 minutes. Bring down the heat, add the mushrooms and shoots and chives and simmer for another 3 minutes. Add the pepper and voila!
My food photography obviously needs some work, but you get the just of it. It was delicious!

Anyways, I also flew up to Johannesburg and took a few of our Australian guests to Marataba Safari Lodge up in the Waterberg area. The lodge is located in the Marakele Game Reserve.
As Africans, we are very fortunate to have some of the worlds most amazing animals right on our doorstep. Luckily all of the Big Five (Elephant, Rhino, Leopard, Buffalo and Lion) can still be found in the wild - although not for long.
It is just amazing showing these animals to guests from around the world. Most of these guys have never been to Africa and have never even dreamt of seeing these animals in real life. Looking at someone seeing an Elephant for the first time is pretty spectacular.
The game viewing at Marataba was incredible - we saw a month old baby elephant, a leopard with three cubs feeding in a tree, hippo, wildebeest, giraffe, lion, warthogs and thousands of antelope.
