Pampiri Indaba

Posted by: admin  :  Category: Uncategorized

Pampiri Indaba – the end result when you combine two dynamic ladies from Kleinmond. The two ladies Helma Potgieter (retired or semi-retired I don’t know, she is forever organizing golf days or fundraisers for charity and helping out at shops who needs assistance for a day.) and Hendriette Derby the owner of the famous landmark Sunshine Trading in Harbour Road ,Kleinmond.

Sunshine Trading

 

The bags

Paper matters – the meaning of Pampiri Indaba is the official name of the company that was formed on my stoep a few days ago over a few cups of coffee. The name has different meanings according Hendriette. Firstly a newspaper brings knowledge and broadens one’s horizons and keeps you up to date with happenings around the globe.

Secondly it will matter to people at this moment sitting without a job and who will be employed in this company and thirdly the environment will benefit out of this new venture.

What will Pampiri Indaba do? They will make paper bags out of old newspapers, magazines and product packaging. The two ladies know each other for more than five years and Hendriette every year sponsor an art competition for kids during the Fynbos Festival using junk as an incentive for the kids to live green. Helma saw a bag from Nepal made from newspaper and decided that she wanted to make bags like that. She approached Hendriette if she would sell it in Sunshine Trading and the obvious answer was yes. It became an instant hit and more and more people want to order these bags. The making of bags by Helma to keep herself out of mischief has grown so big that they needed to formalise the venture.

Hendriette(back) and Helma

They care about the community and are known for their efforts and endeavours for the local Children’s Home. They are not people that want a thank you but want to serve their community.

 

The mission of the business is to make money by reusing newspaper, magazines and packaging as a sustainable source and creating new work opportunities. If you ever come to Harbour Road in Kleinmond (and that is a must) do go and support them at Sunshine Trading and buy something so that you get your bag and plough back into our community. I want to wish these wonderful angels all the best and may we see your faces on the front of your bags.

Coffee Express

Posted by: admin  :  Category: Uncategorized

Two months ago I went through the exercise of trying to improve the coffee that I serve to my customers. It was a long and hard exercise because what I like and what the average customer like is two different things. I got my coffee supplier to send me samples of coffees from around the world that they stock. We grinded, brewed, blended and then tried it on the customers the next day. It went on till customers start telling us the coffee tasted very good. The customers never knew that we where testing it on them and we knew when they started to tell us that the coffee was good we have hit the sweet spot.

Somebody that did the same thing was my cousin. Her regular job is working for a passenger ship company in America. She work on contracts lasting from three to six months and returns home to Cape Town after contract was finished. She wanted to do something to keep her busy till the next contract comes up.

She came up with a very novel idea: brew some old fashioned “moer “ coffee. If you do not know what “moer” coffee was, here is a short explanation. In the olden days before instant coffee, filter coffee machines, espresso makers and other kind of coffee machines coffee was bought already grinded and was place in a kind of a bag that hanged into a kettle and the water was then cooked on a stove. The grinded coffee thus had a longer exposure to the water and could take a lot of flavour out of the grinded coffee. Today we work with coffee percolaters, filter coffee machines and espresso machines to speed up the process because we don’t have time to wait anymore. The difference between now and years ago is that we now have better coffeebeans and better methods to roast the coffee.

Now back to my cousin’s idea .Not knowing anything about coffee she started to experiment with coffees that you could buy in your local supermarket and she started blending these coffees and got all her neighbours in her flat building as a panel to decide which blend was the perfect brew.

On the establishing of her blend she had to find a market for her product. She decided on fleemarkets, festivals and other gatherings of people. Having a boyfriend that is a performer and a marketer of eco friendly transport, she decided on a three wheel bicycle which her boyfriend is marketing. They quickly transformed the bicycle into a mobile coffee shop so that they can travel around the festivals and bring their coffee to everyone. After every festival the coffee express undergo some more changes to better service and quality. If you are down in the Western Cape at some of the festivals or happening be on the lookout for “Sands Coffee Kettle”.

Food from “nowhere”

Posted by: admin  :  Category: Uncategorized

Today i want to introduce a guest  writer on my blog. She is not just a good writer or storyteller but the most important person in my life. I hope hope there is more stories to follow from her.So here it comes:

Food from “nowhere”

I’m the wife Mr Sooks got married to “late in life”.  I’ve never understand how people can become passionate about food. The mixing of herbs to create or just to imitate certain flavors is still a mystery to me – and most probably, will always be.  Getting married “later in life” has a lot of advantageous.  Bells and whistles belong on a bicycle (with Northern Cape number plates), silence is golden and not uncomfortable, and the “pressures in life” are reduced to remembering birthdays and appreciating the glance of approval from another woman at you man!

Skaapkop

I grew up in a small town in the Northern Cape called Kenhardt.  When people like to indicate “where nowhere is” they tend to say: “between Pofadder and Putsonderwater”. No, than is not “nowhere”.  That is Kenhardt.

Needless to say, fresh produce was as fresh as you could keep it on the back of your “bakkie” from Checkers in Upington 150 km’s south to Kenhardt in soaring heat – 45 Degrees Celsius plus.  Carrots, potatoes and onions were in abundance – enough for household use as well as for the Springhare and Steenbok who pays your garden the regular evening visit.  They just took what they needed and never messed up the garden.  They would leave enough for everybody to co-exist.  

Salt and pepper.  “Rys, vleis en aartappels”.  That is what we have grown up with.  Many years later I arrived in Cape Town and met Mr Sooks – a passionate food lover who would pick stuff from the garden, which looks like little trees, and place it on/in food.  He put a “braaiboud” on open flames!  But I had a few curve balls for him.  He did not know what a “saddle tjop” was and then………the “skaapkop” (Smiley – as the Capetonians like to call it).

In all innocence I “surprised” my hubby one evening with a “skaapkop”.  I opened the aluminum foil and foíla – grinning in all its glory – “skaapkop” I was really proud of my attempt, as I cannot cook at all.  I cannot even boil water.  (This is perhaps the reason why I got married “later in life”).

When I saw that the mere sight of my carefully prepared meal – without anything on it which vaguely resembles something from the garden (just salt and pepper), appalled my loving hubby, I gently turned the head around to face me, and carefully started to cut off some pieces of meat from “safe areas” (not close to the eyes or nose), two pieces at a time – putting the one piece in my mouth and presenting the other to him. Ever saw the people on Fear Factor eating gory stuff?  Don’t chew, don’t think – just swallow.  This was what he did – just to please me.

With all the wonderful colors, spices and aromas currently surrounding me, my food from nowhere will always have its place – everywhere.  Whether you put mushrooms in it, little trees from the garden, bake it, poach it, fry it, my food from nowhere will always be somewhere.

Happy cooking Mr Sooks!

CHEERS ! SOUTH AFRICA

Posted by: admin  :  Category: Uncategorized

This morning checking my mail I saw on the daily Wine .co.za news letter that South Africa has passed France in wine sold in the United Kingdom. Being making wines for thirty years and exporting wines all over the world it interest me. To overtake France in wine sales in the U.K is like winning the world cup in cricket and rugby in the same year and throw in a few grand slam golf titles for South African players as well.

The U.K. is the barometer in the wine industry and if you do well there the rest of the world would accept your product easier.Altough our wine industry is 350 years old our development only started in 1994 when Nelson Mandela was released we had to go and see what wines and styles the market was asking for outside our borders. It took some time but to pass France in sales in such a relative short time is phenomenal.

The wines of the old world was always regarded is the benchmark for all winemakers. If I talk about the old world it means France, Germany, Italy, Spain and Portugal. The last decade or more the New world wines made big inroads into the international markets. The new world countries being Australia, New Zeeland, America Argentina and Chili.South Africa has a strong new wine world style combined with some old world which make us very acceptable in the world markets. We are currently the 4th biggest exporter of wine to the U.K. which is the biggest importer of wine in the world. The U.K. is the biggest importer of South African wine followed by the Netherlands and Sweden.

Early reports of my winemaking friends tell me that we can expect a small vintage this year. The Worcester, Robertson report a 30% reduction of  last year’s crop dew  to Downy Mildew in October/November and my friends in Stellenbosch talk of about a 40% reduction due to a gailforce South –Easter in October during the flowering of the vine. So with the good news there are some bad news and this means the price of your favourite bottle of wine might increase.

If you have a glass of wine tonight please lift it and have a toast on our winemakers and marketers on the milestone that they have reached in the U.K. and to all the winemakers that might read this blog, have a good harvest and produce more of the good stuff

KLEINMOND , WHERE?

Posted by: admin  :  Category: Uncategorized

On the world atlas if you look at the coordinates   34º21’S 19 º02’E you will find Kleinmond. The town is situated between Somerset West and Hermanus.To get to Kleinmond there are two roads you can take. The one is over Sir Lowry’s Pass  through the apple orchards of Grabouw and  past Botrivier.If  you are from Cape Town and you type in Kleinmond into your GPS it will give you this route. It is about 10 minutes faster but about 15 kilometres longer. The second route is via Gordonsbay on Clarence drive, one of the most beautiful drives in South Africa. Very similar to Chapman’s Peak but longer and safer. The drive will take you past Rooiels, Pringle Bay, Hangklip and Bettys’s Bay before you get to Kleinmond.

How Kleinmond did come to exist? We know that humans walked this shores for a very long time due to stone hand –axes from the Neanderthal era found at Hangklip which was older than 20 000 years old. In more recent times fish traps and kitchen middens of the Koisan strandloper was found on the beach between Kleinmond and Hawston.

After the landing of Jan Van Riebeeck the western influence spread rapidly inland. The Kogelberg mountains was very inhospitable and the coastal flats from Hangklip to Kleinmond was ignored and for two centuries it became a stronghold for outlaws,”drosters” and runaway slaves and the Koisan tribes that remained was decimated by imported European diseases such as measles.

The first known settlement close to present-day Kleinmond was the Andries Grove’s grazing farmstead “Welgemoed” near Betty’s Bay in 1739.He was followed by the Louw family who settled in the Palmiet Valley. In 1771 a William Patterson travelled up the coast from Somerset West to Botrivier. He did not record seeing any human beings but a lot of Hyena, Eland, zebra, Bontebok and buffalo. At the mouth of the Palmietriver he was chased by lion and saw hippos in the Kleinmond lagoon.

After that cattle was herded here and fish was caught. In the middle of the 19th century a small community fishermen established themselves at Jongensklip the present-day harbour and the location of Sooks Coastal Kitchen. At the same time the Albertyn family from Caledon use Kleinmond for their annual holidays and build a house near the beach in 1861.

FERRY CROSSING PALMIET RIVER

In 1910 the original Lamloch farm of the Kaplan brothers of Botrivier was subdivided and the modern day Kleinmond was laid out. Early development of the town was slow because it was situated in a cul de sac. It could only be reached from the Botrivier direction because the Palmietriver could not be crossed. Nothing lay beyond Kleinmond except the whaling station at Stonypoint. In 1931 John Pitt build the hotel which was destroyed by fire a few years ago and still not being rebuild.

A ferry was build and the Palmietriver lagoon could be crossed. With the Second World War the Hangklip area became important and was a sentinel to protect False Bay from the German U-boats. The Italian prisoners of war built Clarence drive (the coastal road from Gordonsbay to Rooiels.)

FISHING BOAT LEAVING THE HARBOUR

In 1948 the first Village Management Board was established and in 1952 the bridge crossing the Palmiet River was build.Today Kleinmond’s Munsipality is rated under the 10 best in our country.

Kleinmond today is biggest town in the UNESCO recognized Kogelberg Biosfere.The biosphere has 1300 plant species per 10 000 square kilometres and it is by far the most species in the world. In comparison the Amazon host the second biggest amount of species with 420.

EGGS BENEDICT

Posted by: admin  :  Category: Uncategorized

This morning it is raining in Kleinmond and outside it look like a typical winter’s day.

When it gets cold I get hungry and think about food. I wanted to write a blog for a while but never got around to do it. (Actually I did not know what to write about.)

Every Tuesday morning   few Kleinmond people involved in tourism get together for coffee in the restaurant and generally brainstorm how we can promote our town and our business to the outside world. One of the coffee drinkers is Clem Dunstone and he is a tour guide but with a difference. He will take you on guided walking tours though our town and fynbos surroundings and supply you with a wealth of information about Kleinmond and history .This morning he was sharing some of that history with us and I then decided it was a good topic for my next blog. Unfortunately I could not find anything on Google on Kleinmond history, so that story has to stand over till I have researched the history of the town.

While I was busy Googling a customer ordered Eggs Benedict for breakfast. I then remembered that on Sunday afternoon two biker gentlemen from Cape Town who enquired what we use in our Eggs Benedict. My answer was English muffin, poached eggs, slivers of smoked Salmon and Sauce Hollandaise. They replied then and said that real Benedict use Smoked Haddock. That made me curious and I went and read up about Eggs Benedict. Served with haddock is the Irish version.

There are two versions of how this dish came to existence. In the 1860’s a client of Delmonico’s in New York,( the first restaurant or public dining room ever to open  in the United States) ,Mrs LeGrand Benedict could not find anything to her liking and wanted something new to eat for her lunch. The chef Charles Ranhofer came up with a dish which he later called Eggs a’ la Benedict and published the recipe later in his cookbook “The Epicurean” .The second version came from a interview with Lemeul Benedict a Wall Street Broker a year before he died. He was suffering from a hangover and ordered “some buttered toast, crisp bacon, two poached eggs and a hooker of hollandaise sauce” at the Waldorf Hotel in New York. The Waldorf’s legendary chef Oscar Tschirky was so impressed with the dish that he put it on the breakfast and luncheon menu’s after substituting the crispy bacon by Canadian bacon and the toast with English muffin.

It does not matter which of the two versions is true but one thing for certain is that one of the world’s best breakfast’s came to excistance.We serve our Benedict with smoked Salmon and I understand  it should be called Eggs Royale.During the

the years gone by lots of deviations were made but mostly the English muffin and sauce Hollandaise stayed the same.

Sauce Hollandaise got its name from a visit of Dutch Royalty to France and the chefs that devised the sauce for the meal called it Sauce Hollandaise. The base for the sauce is egg yolks, melted butter and lemon juice and every chef has his own secret ingredients that he adds to it. This sauce works well with fish and we serve it with our Geelbek

THE END OF THE SEASON

Posted by: admin  :  Category: Uncategorized

The schools start on Wednesday and  Kleinmond  this morning is back to normality. The holiday season in Kleinmond normally start round about 16 December and last to the weekend before the schools start. This year it seems that the season started on Christmas day and finished the day after New Year.

For businesses in Kleinmond it was a very short season and it is normally harvest time for them to carry them through the year. It might be that the recession is still looming about or the holidays for the school kids were shorter.

It wasvery busy in the restuarant and hence the silence from Sooks side. We learned a lot and now we are trying to sort out the menu so that we can give an improved and better experience to our customers. There are some things that one can control and others like staff reliability is out of your control.

A lot of things happened in Kleinmond since my last blog. We where run over by holiday makers and just when the Gauteng people left the mountain burned down. The fire started in the informal settlement where copperthiefs melted copper and set alight 20 other dwellings and eventually the mountain. The fire was brought under control by the evening and without damage to houses.

Our own volcanic outburst

This past weekend saw the Kleinmond Blue(s) festival. The blue in the festival comes from the fact that Kleinmond is one of about 30 blue flag beaches in South Africa. The blue flag status means that the beach is clean, enviromently sound and adheres to international safety and tourist standards. The Festival is Kleinmond’s celebration of obtaining the blue flag status.

The festival featured some of the best blues talent in the Western Cape with the likes of Boulevard Bluesband, Diamondback and Akkedis.The cherry on the cake was Dan Palansky with guitar playing last seen at Woodstock.                                      

   Together with the festival was the big relay event that featured swimming,surfski,canoeing,cycling,mountain biking,running.The event was due to start in Gordonsbay with swimming and the surf ski leg but the first two legs was cancelled due to a storming southeaster. The rest of the event took place and the last participants arrived at the line round about four that afternoon. Afterwards they enjoyed the smooth blues sounds with a few beers.

An eventful weekend was enjoyed by all and we hope to see more of you next year.

THE MAYOR OF HARBOUR ROAD

Posted by: admin  :  Category: Uncategorized

002

Since I took over the restaurant there was a man on my ”stoep” every morning at about 9h00. The time usually depends what happened the previous night. But the order of the visit is usually the same – almost like a ritual: Filter coffee, newspaper and a refill coffee. I got to know Geri Kruger, the Mayor of Harbour Road. It is on the “stoep” where Geri greet all his constituents and conducts his audiences with them.

 

Geri is in fact an artist and his paintings are on permanent exhibition at the Harbour Road Art gallery in Kleinmond. He was borned in Johannesburg and spent his early childhood in Mpumalanga before moving to Cape Town. where he matriculated. After two years in the navy he moved to Knysna to start a career in boatbuilding. In those beautiful surroundings he discovered his love for art and started working on pastel drawings and sketches.

 

Three years later the confusion in his psyche led him to admittance into a mental asylum which turned out to be a great blessing for him. Supported and encouraged by several therapists and psychologists, he started to paint fulltime. His first exhibition was held during this time.

 

ALONE

ALONE

 

For a decade under a diagnosis of ‘schizophrenia’ he was in and out of institutions. Finally released in 1991 he settled in Kleinmond and could devote hid days to painting and expressing his feelings and thoughts

 

His work has been exhibited in galleries in this region as well as well as Pretoria, Port Elizabeth, Grahamstown and Cape Town. He was honoured to be selected to exhibit in the ‘Tribute to Picasso by South African Artists ‘at the Alliance Françoise in Cape Town in 2007

 

Since 2003 his paintings is on permanent exhibition at Harbour Road Art Gallery in Kleinmond where some of his best clients is overseas visitors. The art on show at the gallery can be viewed on: harbourroadartgallery.co.za.

 

Where does he draw his inspiration from?  He said probably from people like Jan Visser, Picasso and Dali as well as the wonderful continent of Africa and African matters.
