Just reporting back after making the beetroot dip for a friend’s party last Saturday. One person couldn’t get over the taste! She kept going on about how good it was. Some just stared at it nervously, the colour was lovely and startling at the same time. While I don’t think I managed to convert anybody, fans of beetroot loved it.

Hi Jo,
Glad you guys enjoyed the bobotie, and good on you for that adventurous streak Will pass thanks on to Meaghan who was the maker of that dish.
Cheers,
Tina

Please thank whichever of your friends contributed the recipe for bobotie. I tried it this evening – my husband was a bit sceptical about a recipe that combined jam and mince but he was soon convinced once I brought it to the table!

The good thing with this dinner was that everyone contributed so the only thing I actually cooked was the doro wat chicken. Admittedly 5kg of onions is a lot of onions to chop. Thank goodness for goggles! Luckily no one was home to witness this silly sight.
The beetroot dip was made by Patrick and Shalini and was delicious. Would recommend you try it, am sure it will be a hit at the party!
The wooden salad servers are African and were a present from my cousin Sarah on her return from an overseas trip last year.

When I looked at the first picture I had to do a double take, the doro wat chicken made me think you had had dinner at Raj and Izy’s. African food is such an unknown here, the flavours sound really interesting. How was the beetroot dip? I have offered to make it for a birthday party this Saturday night because it sounded so good. Thanks for posting about this in so much detail – it looks like a great time in the kitchen and around the dining table. I haven’t had a big cook up like this in ages. I also really like the serving spoons you had with the queen of sheba salad and the bulgar salad. very fitting. where did you get those?
