PASSIONS: BAKING, SOUTH AFRICAN FOOD AND FLAVOURS
Lazy Makoti has a great love and passion for food but in particular South African food. She loves to infuse typically South African flavours in her food and bakes, like rooibos, Amarula fruit etc
When did you realise your love for baking?
“My mom is a great baker, I have such fond memories of waking up to the smell of banana bread or cinnamon scones every weekend. No, seriously, every weekend. There were always containers filled with ginger biscuits that we gave to visiting guests as padkos after a visit. That’s how I was ‘influenced’ to love baking lol. My mom still bakes just as much!”
Lazy’s advice to aspiring bakers:
“Read the entire recipe before you begin. Baking is more a science so you want to be sure that you have all the ingredients on hand before you begin.”
“Practice really does make perfect.”
