Prepare our spicy chicken wraps in advance, freeze and then enjoy a Mexican meal in minutes whenever you like! Whip up this filling with a kick in less than an hour, freeze in individual portions and then re-heat (in a pan or in the microwave) and roll up in warm tortillas. Add a few dollops of sour cream and your dinner is good to go. Or you can, you know, just eat them right now!

We put a great spin on both the humble potato bake and the chicken dinner by combining the two, as well as adding healthier ingredients and Asian flavours. This sweet potato bake is a perfect mid-week one-pan family meal with hardly any hands-on time and a great way to include protein, carbs and nutrients, making for a balanced plate.

Behind the scenes at Vrede en Lust Estate with Chef Johan van Schalkwyk

  • Post published:February 14, 2017

Compared to most chefs, Johan may have had a bit of a late start, only entering the industry when he was 28. He started out as a chef at a chateau in France, where he fondly remembers the time spent wandering through the kitchen garden, a basket of vegetables and herbs on his forearm, carefully picking fresh produce for the day. These days, Johan heads up the kitchen at Vrede en Lust’s Lust Bistro & Bakery, cooking and baking (make sure that you taste the sourdough!) fresh and fuss-free fare at one of the most renowned eateries in the foodie centre of Franschhoek.

There is no better dish to serve up to guests than a traditional French coq au vin. Cooking with wine guarantees you’ll have plenty of fun in the kitchen with this one! (We recommend a middle-of-the-road wine – don’t waste your best vintage, but don’t use anything so cheap you wouldn’t drink it on its own.)
