If you have spent this past week in Cape Town (or many other parts of South Africa) you’ll know that temperatures reached into the high twenties, and we’ve even seen a few pairs of shorts and slops around the office.

Summer is coming, and so too is the Rugby Championship and six more excuses to gather your mates up and have something of a jol.

Rugby, friends, beers, braai – it sounds like a good time to me. But let’s be frank for a second- if we have to sit through one more game around the flat screen, chewing on a boerie roll lathered in All Gold, the host drinking too much Castle and burning the chops, we might just give future events a miss.

Don’t get us wrong, we’re all about embracing tradition, but there’s nothing wrong with spicing things up. Maybe you could feed the crew something different, something sensational, that you can whip up quickly and without much hassle?

Over to kitchen genius Peter Goffe-Wood then for his lamb schwarmas, part of his Weber Winter Braai series. Think of it as a jazzed-up boerie roll that everyone will love, and you’ll still have time to watch every second of the match.

Tune in to 2OV Radio every Wednesday between 14:00 and 15:15 to keep up to date with what the chef extraordinaire has in store for us.
