Greetings Braai Fans,
We are in the process of upgrading our website and need your help with that.
The idea is to make this a community site. The braai is a place where people come together to enjoy great food, have a good time and talk about life, politics, the joke of the day and pretty much anything.
We want you to have the same braai experience on this website.
This is where you come in… we are looking for passionate braai fans, that are interested in contributing in the following ways:
- If you have Braai tips, recipes, things to do at a braai and any other good advice for a braai feel free to post them. All you need to do is register and after that, just log in and post your good advice.
- If you are a web designer and would be interested in making this the best looking braai site in cyberspace, please contact me with your proposal. More >
Jansson’s Temptation

This is a traditional Swedish side-dish, but I think it would go swimmingly with a proudly South African braai. After all it’s essentially a potato bake only with the addition of anchovies. We were initially a bit skeptical about the fishy component, but I have to say it blends in beautifully, adding just the right hit of saltiness to the finished product. I suppose you could cut the potatoes into slices instead of matchsticks, but I think the matchstick shapes add a nice textural diversity. Enjoy! More >

History and Importance of the first Braai
Dec 21st
Good day Braai fans. Here’s some interesting info I found on www.scienceinafrica.co.za. It just shows you how important the braai really is.
The use of fire is one of the key tools that marked the difference between early ape men, and their primate cousins. Fire also marked the start of mankind’s long march from being a common snack for predators to being the world’s most successful predator. More >

Braai Fit For A King – With a putu pap recipe
Sep 21st
As a South African, I feel every man should know how to get a great Braai going, from starting the fire to creating great African meals.
As we all know a great braai comes from how you pack your coals, we all have a personal preference, Charcoal, Briquettes, or Wood.
I am not a follower of gas braai’s the meat is just not the same, so I am a briquettes man, I always try and create 2 or so great pyramids and light the fire lighter at the bottom which works for me giving me a great roaring fire. More >
Butterfly lamb
Sep 18th
This is a great lamb recipe that can be done on the braai or in the oven and is a really nice change from the usual garlic and herb flavored lamb. Do it for your next braai, you won’t regret it and serve it with the potato bake. This is enough for 4-6 people.
What you need
1 1/2 kg deboned leg of lamb
3 tablespoons honey More >
