"A South African sweet. I used to live on Cape Point and as small children we would go and find the "dennepitte" (pine kernals) for this recipe. As we didn't have electricity, my mother would make this on her "primus" - a camping stove. I can't believe her patience or her devotion! I believe this recipe is of French Huguenot extraction. The folded paper containers are definitely an option. I don't rightly know how much it makes - can't remember!"

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
Not much to tell! I'm a South African living in London, mother of four rangingfrom 25 to 9. I am desperately trying to get my children's stories published - anyone out there interested? Until my ship sails in, I cook, eat everything and anything, and then diet like mad. I love experimenting with new recipes and I absolutely hate spoilt kids who visit and say? "what is THIS?" and push it away without trying.
My favourite cookbook is Mrs Beeton's family cookbook. 1994 edition.
