Loadshedding? No worries – we’ve got you covered with delicious no bake treats for the festive season.
Let’s get real
We are looking at a festive season with at least some level of loadshedding…the problems at Eksom can’t simply be fixed by a Christmas miracle and its up to South Africans to keep their own spirits up this December.
What better way to do this than to indulge in deliciously sweet home-made festive treats, with no need to turn the oven on?
If you’ve ever turned to Google or Pinterest for foodie inspiration, you’ll know the frustration of finding a great recipe only to realise that the crucial ingredients aren’t available in Mzanzi.
We have scoured the internet for recipes that tick all these boxes:
- No need for an oven, (you will sometimes need a gas stove to melt or heat something if loadshedding strikes and the microwave is not available).
- Wonderfully festive and indulgent – no diet treats here!
- Ingredients that are locally and easily available.
- Relatively easy to make…no special skills needed
- Kid friendly (if you are brave enough to involve the little ones in the preparations).
While not all of these recipes are home grown, they can definitely be home made, and you should feel free to substitute or add whatever your heart desires.
