ed s note The very first all-vegetarian Harvest Issue is like one big, plump strawberry to me Join THE GANG ON INSTA MYKITCHENSA Summertime in my family was always welcomed with an annual trip to a strawberry farm outside Stellenbosch. We d all bundle out of the kombi, kitted out in sun hats and oversized Mad Dogs T-shirts, and slowly make our way through the strawb vines, plucking only the biggest, juiciest, reddest ones. For days, weeks even, we d discover new ways of using all our fresh fare. Jam, fruit salad, chocolate-covered berries you name it, we made it. Admittedly, it was strawberry season and the fridges at the Spar down the road were overflowing with them too. But nothing beats the excitement and satisfaction of enjoying the fruits of your own labour. That s why this issue the very first all-vegetarian Harvest Issue is like one big, plump strawberry to me. We are focusing on all the fresh, seasonal fruit and veggies, showing you how to turn them into delicious dishes; or, if you fancy yourself quite the gardener, how to grow your own (and then turn them into delicious dishes). As for those strawberries, they make an appearance in a tasty trio of quick and easy breakfast, lunch and dinner recipes. I may even have resurrected my Mad Dogs tee in celebration EDITOR heather_ingarfield STAND A CHANCE TO WIN A R1 000 TFG (THE FOSCHINI GROUP) GIFT CARD WINNING LETTER Congrats, ME Seswike!
