The sun is shining in Mzanzi and braai season is officially open, people. This month we bring you recipes and our pick of tools that will help catapult your braais to a new level of fantasticality. We also announce the grand opening of the Enkosi Cookathon where, by simply cooking South African-inspired recipes for your friends and family, you stand the chance to win some of the world's best kitchen tools. Sound good? Onwards, then.

Enkosi Cookathon
|
|
Following the success of last year's Community Cookathon, we're bursting to announce that the second Yuppiechef cookathon has just gone live - this time with a delicious dollop of local flavour.
We've teamed up with South African food icons Justin Bonello, Phillippa Cheifitz and Ina Paarman and put together a collection of seven classic dishes for the supercalifragilistic Enkosi Cookathon.
To take part (and a little something will be sent to everyone who does) all you need to do is cook one of the seven dishes and send us a photo before midnight on 23 October. The bold and beautiful masterchefs who submit photos of all seven dishes will stand a chance to win the grand prize of R2,500 worth of kitchen tools and there will be spot prizes for twitter process pics. Enkosi, indeed.
May the force of the Cookathon be with you. Here's how you can take part.

Marvellous Mungo Design
|
|
Mungo Design is the latest brand to be added to the Yuppiechef fold. With beautiful tea towels, aprons and even a macho Man Cloth, we admire Mungo's knack for making ordinary things beautiful. Especially because they do it all right here, in South Africa. Ayoba.
Did you know, Butcher Stripe Aprons originated in York in 1500s? True story.

Perfect picnic ideas
|
|
Be the envy of fellow picnickers with a few simple tricks. Crystal glasses and white linen are one thing but strawberry cheesecake in a bottle? Sublime.
Got a picnic basket? Always helpful. We like this one.

Step right up, Minichefs
|
|
We are big fans of little people getting busy in the kitchen. You may not think your four year old can chop an onion with a sharp knife, but we beg to differ (with guidance and supervision, of course).
Here are three summer lunch ideas that double up as small person activities:

And that's a wrap.
See you soon,
