To celebrate Heritage month, we partnered with Capital Hotel School in Pretoria and asked their chef students to create unique dishes based on South Africa's traditional favourites. For this twist on braai broodjies, Nomawethu Mkhombo and Naledi Mamogobo made garlic the star of the show and also added a chocolate dessert broodjie.
