Ek is baie lief vir lees, ek luister graag na musiek en geniet ‘n goeie fliek.

V: Hoe het jou foodie-reis begin?

A: Ek het van kleins af ‘n avontuurlik koslus gehad. My ouers het ons in die kombuis verwelkom en ons aan nuwe bestanddele bekendgestel. Ek het altyd geweet my lewe sal rondom kos draai.

V: Wat is jou raad vir aspirant-foodies?

A: Eet volgens die seisoene. Probeer nuwe, interessante bestanddele.

V: Wat is jou kombuisstaatmakers?

A: Ek kan nie klaarkom sonder knoffel, botter, olyfolie, parmesankaas, suurlemoene, komyn en dhania (cilantro) nie!

V: Vertel ons meer oor Yumcious. Hoe het die restaurant ontstaan? Wat is jou visie en wat bied jy?

A: Yumcious bedien goeie informele kos. Ek bring omtrent elke aand van my lewe deur met nuwe resepte uitdink. Ek kan die kleure, teksture en aromas ‘proe’. Ek het ‘n ander plek as my kookskool nodig gehad om my opgedroomde resepte ‘n realiteit te maak. Ek wou graag ‘fine casual food’ aan baie mense voorsien, en die kos is presies dit.

Prawn Crystal Spring Rolls Serves 6 I learned to make these at the home of a tipsy boatman on the banks of the Mekong River. They are utterly delicious – fresh, crunchy and tasty – and are really easy to make, even though they take a little time to put together. Get someone to give you a hand soaking the rice paper. The trick is to soak one at a time, as they are very delicate, and by the time you have filled one, the next one will be ready to roll with a little help from a friend.

INGREDIENTS Dipping Sauce • ½ cup rice vinegar • ¼ cup boiling water • ½ cup castor sugar • 1 Tbs fish sauce • 2 small chillies, chopped • 1 Tbs chopped fresh coriander • 1 tsp sesame oil • 1Tbs finely-diced fresh cucumber

Spring Rolls • 24 prawns, deveined, lightly steamed and shelled • 1 cup finely shredded red cabbage • 1 large carrot, peeled and thinly julienned • 1 cup freshest bean sprouts • 1 medium English cucumber, julienned • 24 large fresh mint leaves • 24 fresh basil leaves • 12 coriander sprigs • 24 butter lettuce leaves • 12 dried rice paper rounds

METHOD • Make the dipping sauce first. Place the vinegar and water in a saucepan over medium heat and add the sugar, stirring to dissolve. Bring to the boil and let it bubble away for a few minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the fish sauce and chillies. Stir in the chopped coriander, sesame oil and diced cucumber when cool and set aside.

• To make the spring rolls, place one rice paper at a time in a bowl of warm water to to soften it slightly. Remove to a flat surface and place a little red cabbage, carrot, a few bean sprouts and some cucumber in the centre of the rice paper and top with two fresh mint and basil leaves and a sprig of coriander. Now top with two prawns and a lettuce leaf. If the leaves are too big, trim them to size.

• Fold in the sides of the rice paper and gently roll up nice and tight. Do the same with the remaining rounds of rice paper. Pack onto a tray with enough space between them so they don’t stick together, and cover with a damp clean cloth.

• When you are ready to serve, slice the rolls in half diagonally, place on a plate and serve with dipping sauce I sometimes make these with shredded duck breast, rare thinly-sliced beef fillet, shredded chicken breasts, or even leave out the meat and go vegetarian. If you can lay your hands on some Vietnamese mint, please add a leaf to your roll.

Tip: You can make these up to two hours ahead – just cover them with a clean damp cloth to prevent them from drying out! © Taste The World with Jenny Morris 2013 –2015

Health & Wellbeing Pollen not the biggest culprit behind SA’s hayfever woes It’s the height of the hayfever season. Hayfever is a condition that affects approximately 30% of South Africans, but pollen might not be the main culprit behind your nasal allergy misery.

For decades, hayfever sufferers have been led to believe that their condition is brought on by the amount of pollen in the air, but there are a host of other triggers too.

Pollen could in many cases elicit a severe allergic reaction, but sufferers will be surprised to learn that their nasal allergies might not have anything to do with pollen spores. Pinpointing where and when an allergy occurs is vital. Even though the treatment might be the same in many cases, avoiding the source is a crucial part of tackling an allergy, and this can only be done if the trigger has been identified correctly with a good history and confirmatory tests, such as skin prick tests. Nasal allergy sufferers should see a doctor with skills in allergy to perform a skin prick test or an immunoglobulin (IgE) antibody test, which will help to diagnose an allergy to a specific substance or substances. Since IgE antibodies are unique to each allergen, tests are very good at picking up ‘sensitisation’ or the presence of these antibodies. However, any result must be carefully checked against the patient’s history, as some people might have antibodies that are not related to any of the symptoms. Doing the test is important, because it might just uncover an allergy that you knew nothing about and by avoiding it, could significantly reduce your symptoms and improve your quality of life. Importantly, if you are not ‘sensitised’ to an allergen, avoiding it will make no difference whatsoever.

Hayfever symptoms vary from person to person, but typically include an itchy, runny or blocked nose, watery eyes, sneezing, coughing, scratchy throat, postnasal drip and/or fatigue.

In general, there is a huge misconception that if someone sneezes a lot, they must have pollen-induced hayfever, when it could be due to many other allergens such as dust mites, pets or cockroaches. The most commonly inhaled allergens are:

Page 4

AWSUM NEWS OCTOBER 2016

• different types of pollen (from trees, grass, weeds and flowers) • house dust mite • cat and dog dander • cockroaches • fungal spores Other triggers that could worsen symptoms include: • Strong perfumes and cold air can trigger nasal symptoms by nonallergic mechanisms • Red wine – alcohol is a vasodilator, which widens your blood vessels and can cause a runny or stuffy nose, but wine in particular can exacerbate symptoms because it contains sulphites. Red wine is highest in sulphites and is fermented with grape skins, which contain a protein allergen.

• Veggie drawer – some fruits and vegetables contain proteins similar to those found in pollen, which can confuse your immune system.

• Swap contact lenses for glasses on high-pollen days since dust and pollen can stick to contact lenses, trapping allergens against your already itchy and irritated eyes.

• Swimming in chlorinated pools may irritate your airways, which could aggravate allergy symptoms.

• A humidifier is a reservoir for mould and bacteria, so clean it regularly to get the maximum relief from this device.

One can treat nasal allergies with antihistamines, which prevent histamine from attaching to your cells and causing symptoms. A decongestant can also be used to reduce the swelling in the nasal passages, but the latter could cause a rebound effect if used for longer than the recommended three to five days, which could end up making you even more congested, so use only as directed.

Golden Rules for Staying Safe this H After reporting that 60% of national and provincial roads in South Africa were in very poor condition, the Automobile Association of South Africa (AA) have listed some golden rules for motorists to observe before departing on their holiday this year.

It is important to plan your trip and if you are aware of possible delays on a particular route or the general condition of the road you are about to travel on, driver frustration can be minimized because it will be expected. When traveling to remote areas, check with people at the point of destination what the expected road conditions you are likely to encounter and give them an approximate time of arrival – if you are delayed, let them know.

from: R750.00

• Brakes • Shocks

To book your space contact

Please be aware that the holiday season is a time when many more drivers and pedestrians tend to be on the roads under the influence of alcohol and it is for this reason that motorists can expect higher levels of law enforcement in this regard.

• CV’s • Services

The AA has listed the following guidelines to assist you on your journey and to help ensure you reach your destination safely: • Lights, indicators, windscreen wipers, brakes, steering, exhaust systems and tyres should be carefully examined for faults.

• Motorists unsure about the roadworthiness of their vehicles can have a technical examination done at any AA DEKRA centre.

• Always carry a spare fan belt and radiator hose in the boot; these could save time and money in the event of a breakdown.

• Check insurance policies. Motor vehicle, householder and life assurance policies should be in order and kept in a safe place.

• Newspaper and milk deliveries should be canceled and provision made for the care of pets.

• Travelers should inform their nearest police station of the period that they will be away from home.

• Families traveling an unfamiliar route must plan their journey, use major routes and try and avoid back roads.

• Always wear your seatbelt and maintain at least a three to four second following distance.

• Increase your following distance at night and on wet roads to six seconds or more.

• Fatigue and eye strain can be avoided by making frequent rest stops; driver changes are advisable at rest stops.

• Include safety breaks every two hours or every 200 kilometers traveled.

• Cars should be locked when unattended, with no valuables inside where they can be seen by passer-bys.

For More Details:

Holiday Season • Never leave children or pets in a locked car, the heat built up in the interior can cause heat exhaustion or heat stroke and can be fatal.

• Carry your driver’s license at all times.

• Drive with your headlights on all the time – this makes you so much more visible to other road users, especially pedestrians.

There are far too many accidents on the roads every year, and by reinforcing the safety rules the AA hopes to minimise the amount of road deaths and accidents. It is imperative that you look after your safety and the safety of your family this season.

HOËRSKOOL STRAND KFC HS Punt-Krieketfees Hierdie fees waaraan die eerste krieketspan gedurende die September-vakansie op Mosselbaai deelgeneem het, word as die grootste in Afrika gereken. Sedert 2012 is die HS Strand nog elke jaar deel van hierdie skouspel. 2016 sal altyd as ‘n besondere hoogtepunt in die HS Strand se krieketannale onthou word.

Die Strand het daarin geslaag om al drie hulle voldagwedstryde te wen – ‘n besondere prestasie. Hulle het slegs die verkorte weergawe van die spel, die 20/20-wedstryd, teen HS Nico Malan van Humansdorp verloor.

In die eerste wedstryd het die Strand met Wynberg, ’n krieketkrag in Suid-Afrika, se tweede span afgereken. Die Strand het hierdie wedstryd met 4 paaltjies gewen.

In die tweede wedstryd het die Strand met die HS DF Malan afgereken en wel met 5 paaltjies. DF Malan is vir 130 lopies uitgehaal. Johann Laubscher het met 3 paaltjies vir 29 lopies uitgeblink.

Mnr. Rudi Koertzen,’n gewese toetsskeidsregter met 108 toetse agter sy naam, het in hierdie wedstryd as skeidsregter opgetree. Hy het hierdie wedstryd as een van die aangenaamstes van sy loopbaan beskou. Dit is ‘n besondere kompliment vir ons skool se krieket.

In die laaste wedstryd het die Strand die hoogaangeskrewe Oakdale Landbouskool met 8 paaltjies geklop. Oakdale is vir slegs 46 lopies uitgehaal. Wiehann Meyer het weer eens geskitter en 2 paaltjies vir 2 lopies laat kantel. Christopher Bodenstein het ongetwyfeld vir die hoogtepunt van die toer gesorg deur 6 paaltjies vir 6 lopies na 7 boulbeurte te laat kantel. Dit is inderdaad ‘n briljante vertoning.

PAUL ROOS GIMNASIUM 0/15A Tennis Baie geluk aan die 0/15 A-tennisspan van Paul Roos Gimnasium wat aan HS Stellenbosch se Gemengde 0/15-toernooi vir 2016 deelgeneem en gewen het. Die PRG span was verteenwoordig deur Wikus Robbertse, Ruben Fortuin en Paul Ellis.

Die span het daarin geslaag om vir die derde agtereenvolgende jaar in die eerste plek klaar te maak saam met HS Bloemhof. Die toernooi, waarin die seuns 'n enkelspelwedstryd en 'n gemende dubbelspelwedstryd moet speel, is gekenmerk deur baie goeie tennis, veral in die laaste wedstryd teen Curro Durbanville.

Die skole wat deelgeneem het was: • Paul Roos en Bloemhof • Meisieskool Paarl en Paarl Boishaai • Paarl Gimnasium • HS Stellenbosch • HS Stellenberg • Curro Durbanville Nadat al die skole teen mekaar meegeding het op 'n rondomtaliebasis, is Paul Roos en Bloemhof as die wenners aangewys. Curro Durbanville was tweede met slegs 2 punte agter PRG, en Meisieskool Paarl/Boishaai was in die derde plek.

Wikus Robbertse is ook by die toernooi as die Beste Seun Speler van die toernooi aangewys.

Baie geluk aan die 0/15-span!!

Toneel PRG se teaterproduksie, getiteld Vlug, het pas teruggekeer van Potchefstroom waar dit deelgeneem het aan die finale rondte van die ATKV-tienertoneel. PRG is benoem vir sewe toekennings en het weggeloop met die Beste Akteur, toegeken aan Hardus Van Staden.

Die teks is geskryf deur Esther Von Waltsleben wat ook die regie behartig het.

Die konsep van Vlug is geïnspireer deur die klassieke werk van William Golding, The Lord of the Flies.

Die geselskap het bestaan uit 18 leerders: 13 akteurs en vyf tegnici. Die spanbestuurder, mnr. Jan-Hendrik Opperman, is bygestaan deur mev. Christine Canaris.

Die groep het in die eerste kwartaal op ‘n toneelkamp na Stilbaai gegaan waar ‘n groot deel van die vaslegging van die produksie gedoen is. Deur die loop van die jaar het die toneelstuk aan vier kompetisies deelgeneem (Namakwaland, Klein Libertas, Durbanville, ATKV), waarvan laasgenoemde die nasionale kompetisie is. By die 200 tienertoneelstukke het landwyd deelgeneem en Paul Roos was onder die Top 10 skole. Waarlik ‘n prestasie!

The Paul Roos Gymnasium Mountain Biking team qualified for the Spur Schools Mountain Biking Finals in the Magaliesberg from 7 to 9 Oktober 2016. This prestigious annual MTB event represents the cream of SA schools riders and is always a huge challenge for every rider and school.

Below are the final placings for all the riders from PRG Sub Youth Men u14 • Matthew Lochner 5th • Krige van der Vyver 9th Youth Men u15 • Jamie Penfold 1st • Charl Cronje 9th • Joshua Laughton 12th • Tjaart van der Walt 16th • Franco Pretorius 19th Sub Junior Men u16 • Ilan Meintjes 29th • Kevin Long 20th Junior Men u18 • Rossouw Bekker 17th • Thomas Moss 28th

One of the TOP 10 cycling schools in South Africa!

More than 10 500 kids across South Africa competed in the Spur Schools Mountain Bike League season this year. The final consisted of 438 riders from 84 schools, who all wanted to pedal their way to victory, as the Spur Schools Mountain Bike League champions! The competition was tough, but the Parel Vallei cycling team showed true grit under the passionate guidance of Mrs Hanri Dalton, their coach.

Parel Vallei claimed a second place in the mixed category and came 4th in the boys’ category (only 3 points behind Paul Roos). We are extremely proud of these results and thus of our place as one of the best cycling schools in SA! Individual results – girls: • Sub-juniors: 18th - Mikayla Forrester • Youth u/16: 7th - Carla Steyn • Junior woman: 10th - Jana Barry Individual results – boys: • Sub-juniors: 7th - Joshua Burger • Youth u/15: 7th - Ryan Kellerman • Junior men: 4th - Matthew Keyser, 9th - Joshua de Freitas and 22nd - Ivan Laubser We are also proud of the 5 Parel Valleiers who were selected to team up with other schools to represent the Western Province on the last day of this league.

This SASC Inter-provincial competition, whereby the best 10 results were added to crown the winning province, was won by the defending champion North West with 242 points, Gauteng finished in a close second with 240 points, with the Western Province in third place with 224 points.

Parel Vallei would like to thank the Spur Steak Ranch Head Office for creating a cycling platform for schools to compete against each other and for FRONT: Callum Forrester, Jana Barry, Mikayla Forrester, Carla Steyn, Emile Burger, Joshua Burger.

Students Celebrate 13 years of schooling at Somerset College Nineteen Somerset College students got together to celebrate the 13 happy years they have enjoyed at their school. Seven of these students joined Somerset College in Grade 0, and the rest have been at the school even longer, as they attended the College Pre-Prep!

There was much reminiscing that took place, particularly about some of their much-loved teachers and the fun goings-on in the playground.

The College matriculants start their final Independent Examinations Board (IEB) matric examinations next week, for which we know they are well prepared.

From the creators of Shrek comes the most smart, funny, irreverent animated comedy of the year, DreamWorks' Trolls. This holiday season, enter a colorful, wondrous world populated by hilariously unforgettable characters and discover the story of the overly optimistic Trolls, with a constant song on their lips, and the comically pessimistic Bergens, who are only happy when they have trolls in their stomach. Featuring original music from Justin Timberlake, and soon-to-be classic mashups of songs from other popular artists, the film stars the voice talents of Anna Kendrick, Justin Timberlake, Russell Brand, James Corden, Kunal Nayyar, Ron Funches, Icona Pop, Gwen Stefani, and many more. DreamWorks' Trolls is a fresh, broad comedy filled with music, heart and hairraising adventures.
