 (12/17/08) Hi Celeste I am an ex South African now living in Australia. I am very impressed with your recipes on line. It's so nice to see South African recipes and makes me home sick especially over this holiday season. May God bless you and your family over this Christmas period and always. Kind regards Marianne Ras (Australia)  Back To Top (09/15/08) A big thanks! I love your website, when I have caught up on my housework, cooked a meal, done the laundry and have some time on my hands I love sitting down and reading your recipes, your kitchen humor etc. Thank you for sharing your recipes, your humor, your time with those of us that love to search for a new recipe. I've won a couple cooking state contest through our State Parks. I would like to send you the winning recipe from last year. Thank you again for many hours of fun and information.

Back To Top (06/08/08) Hi There Thank you for the recipes. You do not know how much it means to a lot of us. Keep up the good work. We miss the food, braai and rugby.

We were celebrating a friends 30th B-day on the Booze bus here in Boston. We had a great time and I owe my thanks to you. They were such a hit and wicked fun to make! Cheers, Kelly Ross-Loprest (Boston, Ma.) Back To Top (02/06/08) Great website. Awesome, thanks. Have been looking for all our SA recipes and finally found more than what I've been looking for. Tried and tested a few and can't wait for the first sunny London day to try out the Oxtail Potjie. I hope we get a seriously good England summer...so many recipes so little sun!! Keep up the great work and thanks for hosting a truly top class site. Cheers Marius (UK) Back To Top (12/03/07) I just want to thank you for the wonderful job you have done on your site. I come from family of good cooks and at one time had my own business. I am a Senior now and don't cook as much, but I have decided to put all my recipes into a binder for my Grandaughters. Your site has been a pleasure to read. I haven't looked up any recipes but your tips are wonderful for a beginner. Thank you. "The Carriere's" Back To Top (11/05/07) Hallo daar Celeste Ek het heerlik gekuier in jou website. Ek gaan beslis van die resepte probeer.

Must have taken forever to create! Thanks so much……….. Kimmie C Back To Top (12/26/06) Hello Celeste, after searching all morning for dip recipes (crab and spinach) I found your website and will definitely try yours and added this site to my favorites to try out other recipes. Here's one easy recipe for Tuna Dip. Ingredients: One can tuna drained One can Media Crema Nestlé One small can (about 2 oz.) jalapeño peppers including the vinegar (adjust peppers to taste) Salt and Pepper to taste Preparation: Blend all ingredients and chill for one hour. Serve with corn chips (like the one you use for nachos). ----------------------------- This is a form of decorative plate that was in my late mother's kitchen. Thank God for dirty dishes they have a tale to tell. While others may go hungry we are eating very well. Thanks, Blanca Torres (Nogales, Sonora, México) Back To Top (10/09/06) I was reading your Jello Shot recipes. Pretty nice mix. One thing though - NEVER heat vodka or any liquor. All the alcohol will burn off and then the Jello Shot just becomes flavored and not really adult drinks. Philip Villotti (Arizona, USA) Back To Top (09/26/06) Hi Celeste I have been getting recipes from the internet recipe websites and must confess that I have yet to come across another online recipe website that has been so beautifully illustrated and easy to read and follow.
