Saying hello from Cape Town

[MaryLouise]

Hi everyone,

I'm based in Cape Town, South Africa and very happy to find eGullet. I used  to read it seven or eight years ago and am happy to rediscover these forums again. I'm especially interested in Mediterranean and Asian cooking.

Hi kayb. It's autumn here right now and we have a severe drought and water shortages. Despite that, the weather is glorious and I'm hoping to make gnocchi with brown butter for lunch and use the last of the sage leaves in my dessicated herb garden. Busy going through the eGulllet Cook-Off suggestions because I don't always get my gnocchi pillowy and light.

Welcome, MaryLouise! Capetown is a beautiful place - at least, it was when I was there a few years ago before the drought situation was so dire. I liked the food there too. 

 

Keep in mind that the Cook-Offs are always open and additions to them are welcome, no matter how old. If you get your gnocchi to your satisfaction, you may also wish to help revive the Perfecting Gnocchi topic.
