BOARDROOM TO KITCHEN

QUICK AND EASY MEALS WITH NOMFUNDO


Top business woman and cookery book author Nomfundo Mcoyi recently showcased a sneak peek of some of the recipes in her cookbook BOARDROOM TO KITCHEN at the popular Hirsch’s Kitchen Capers virtual event that was hosted by Hirsch’s Executive Director, Margaret Hirsch. The food for the event was sponsored by SPAR and included their free range Spar Select chicken breasts. Nomfundo said that she wrote the book in the hopes of motivating anyone who reads it to apply the simple recipes from the book and participate in creating the fond memories that are so often inspired by the camaraderie of happy dinners around the table. Here are some of the fantastic recipes that she whipped up:
