Greetings good people of Beer Country! It’s Friday and what better way to kick off the weekend than with a little good news. Our new book has arrived and will be available mid month at all good book stores as well as Checkers and Woolies nation wide! It’s called Blackouts & Boerewors and no prizes for guessing who it’s inspired *cough*Eishkom*cough* by. It’s packed with clever condiment ideas, pantry wisdom and epic recipes to help you get the most out of your load-shedding braais. We had a blast making it and we hope it serves as a tasty shining light in these irritatingly dark times 🔥🍺🥩 Big thanks to our epic team and sponsors who made it happen and helped us create another beautiful book! #braai #loadshedding #southafrica #recipe

We often get asked by our overseas friends where they can buy a copy of our books. Unfortunately the hard copies are only available in South Africa but the good news is that you can get digital copies online from Amazon, Snapplify and Google Play!

If you were at Fools & Fans 9, you probably spotted our very sophisticated wooden spoon mic making the rounds. 🎤 We caught up with this legendary duo - Karl & Carl (yes, both of them) - longtime fans and certified fools. Then Karl’s son hijacked the mic for his influencer debut…the results speak for themselves 😄🍻 @beercountrysa @carlnienaber

Happy World Milk Tart Day! We’re celebrating with a Coconut Condensed Milk Tart - a creamy, dreamy twist on the South African classic. Buttery base, silky condensed milk filling and a touch of toasted coconut on top… because tradition tastes even better with a little upgrade. Head to the link in our bio for this delicious recipe!

Healthy, indulgent, and surprisingly simple, Turkish eggs are the perfect way to start the day ... creamy, tangy yoghurt, perfectly poached eggs, and a fragrant, spiced butter drizzle. Karl Tessendorf’s version from 'The Good Stuff' is a little fancy, but easy enough to whip up on a weeknight. Packed with protein, fresh herbs, and a hint of spice, it’s a breakfast that feels luxurious without breaking the bank. Pair it with buttered sourdough toast and you’ve got a meal that’s as satisfying as it is wholesome. 📖 Recipe in 'The Good Stuff' by Karl Tessendorf.

Think golden, puffed-up pancake-meets–Yorkshire pudding, topped with burrata, Parma ham, figs and all the good bits. It’s the kind of starter people naturally gather around – simple to make, impressive to serve and perfect for those first, relaxed bites as everyone settles in. This recipe comes from Karl Tessendorf's 'The Good Stuff', available wherever you buy books.
