Well known for her award-winning cookbook The Lazy Makoti, Mogau Seshoene is celebrating Garden Day on October 17 with the launch of her latest book, Hosting with The Lazy Makoti (Jonathan Ball, R350).
Seshoene, who is a flower crown ambassador for this annual event, is not only a keen cook but a home gardener too.
To celebrate Garden Day, she'll be pulling out all the stops for a family celebration with a seven-colours lunch including her sorghum rainbow salad using fresh ingredients from her garden.
“Sorghum is a proudly South African ingredient that’s loved by many. Most of us have had it in ting and umqombothi, but I bet you didn’t know that, much like couscous, you can include it in salads as well,” she says.
