SARIE FOOD is now also published six times a year with SARIE KOS.

“When we started SARIE KOS in 2007 we never envisioned an English version”, says SARIE editor, Michélle van Breda. “The special SARIE FOOD edition which we published last year featured a collection of 119 SARIE KOS favourites. It was hugely successful with readers and awarded a PICA for Best Annual magazine, prompting the idea to publish SARIE FOOD, a translated version of every issue of SARIE KOS. English-speaking food-lovers can now look forward to a taste of modern-day Afrikaans cooking and entertaining in every issue. The mantra of SARIE KOS has always been that the magazine talks food and the conversation is absolutely mouth-watering. Readers will be in for a treat – with dishes straight from the heart”.

The feast of food photography and recipes is divided into five categories: Fine Food, Home Food, Dream Food, Health Food and Our Food. According to Barbara Joubert, SARIE KOS’ award-winning food editor, her grandma’s delicious home cooking was the inspiration behind this issue. Grandma’s food turns trendy with new recipes and readers can enjoy some new takes like bredies with a twist, milk tart with chocolate, malva pudding and pears and samoosas filled with snoek. Add the 30 muffins (15 sweet and 15 savoury), meat-free pies, Fête pudding for diabetics and gluten-free rusks and one is in for a real treat.

SARIE FOOD is another brand extension to support the 360 degree SARIE world. It includes SARIE, SARIE KOS, SARIE BRUID, SARIE WOON, SARIE Kreatief, SARIE Karoo (available Monday, 31 March) and the SARIE website, www.sarie.com, which includes SARIE’s online shop.

SARIE FOOD will be on the shelf alongside every issue of SARIE KOS and the April/May 2014 issues will be available from Wednesday, 26 March at R39.90 each.
