Food blogger Landi Govender is sharing a soji and cream recipe that will make your father beam with satisfaction.
"Father's Day at our home is spent pretty relaxed, with the whole family outside around the braai. My husband says I’m an expert braai master – he isn’t wrong. The best gift you could give a dad on Father's Day is a full stomach of incredible food, and whether he’s a meat or potatoes kinda guy, one thing he’ll definitely want is to end lunch on a sweet note," says.
That sweet note is this decadent soji and cream recipe. It's a definite winner!
