National Braai Day is the brainchild of Jan Scannell, better known as Jan Braai. He experienced his ‘quarterlife crisis’ in 2005 and felt it was time to add value to society. His idea was to launch a project to improve nation building – to join all the great aspects, and so the idea of a national party day happened. The States have their Thanksgiving, Ireland their St Patrick’s Day, The Netherlands their Koninginnedag … and now we have our Braai Day, because what is more uniquely South African than a braai? Enjoy our interview with Jan, as well as the best recipe ever for braaibroodjies (toast on the braai) on the next page. Unfortunately, we are also in the season of allergies and hay fever, so we brought you some Nadia Matthee information on how to avoid and manage these Junior Designer annoying attacks.

Jan
Jan Braai is undisputedly South Africa’s favourite braai master. AWSUM News chatted to him while his Jan Braai convoy of 60 vehicles were dodging not only a herd of cows, but also a flock of ostriches somewhere outside of Calitzdorp. Q: How was Jan Braai created? A: Jan Braai was born when I created the Twitter handle @janbraai and people started referring to me like that. Luckily my real name is also Jan, so I do not have too much of a split personality! Q: What do you think about women who are becoming the braai masters more and more? A: Oh, I think it is fantastic! The days of men standing around the braai making ‘men talk’ while the women are inside making potato salad en daintily sipping on rosé, are gladly passing quickly. Women have a distinctive feeling for braaivleis, and actually braai much better. (I am ducking!) Q: When are the coals ‘just right”? A: As soon as the flames have burnt out. Let go of the idea of testing the coals by holding your hand just so long at just so high over the coals. As soon as there are only coals, you braai.

Braai
Q: What do you braai? A: Anything – sheep, beef, chicken, fish – you name it. Q: What do you drink with braaivleis? A: A very civilised gin & tonic (which, of course, is also great protection against malaria mosquitoes) while I braai, wine with the meal, and afterwards a brandy, or even a whiskey. Q: What do you enjoy for dessert? A: That afterbraai, when we put some more wood on the fire for atmosphere, and put something on the coals again. Q: What is your mission? A: To get 50 million South Africans to braai on one day! Three braai books and many TV shows later, it is happening! Some of the books are also available overseas, so the message gets spread far and wide! Q: What is your message for all the braaiers? A: Keep it classy, South Africa!

Were at The Lofts Boutique Hotel on Thesen Island in Knysna, feeling quite chuffed with life and the hotel management said it would not be a problem if we wanted to braai on the deck. The only question was, what to braai in such a decadent setting. Now earlier in the day we got a very nice sourdough bread from Il de Pain, the renowned bakery on Thesen Island, and I wanted to use that as part of the meal. So the decision fell on creating a few super luxurious braaibroodjies. Normal white toaster bread was replaced by slices of the world class Il de Pain sourdough bread, chutney was swopped for a mixture of French style mayonnaise and whole grain mustard. Onion was replaced by spring onion and tomato was replaced with sun-dried tomatoes. Naturally we needed cheese and the decision fell on 18 months matured cheddar. For team spirit I also added gypsy ham into each unit. Forget about butter on the outside – for these creations you use olive oil on the outside.
What you need
• Slices of fresh sourdough bread • French style mayonaise • Whole grain mustard • Gypsy ham • 18 months matured cheddar • Sun-dried tomatoes in olive oil • Spring onions • olive oil
What to do
1. Go for an oval shape sourdough bread as opposed to a round one. This way all the slices will be the same size. Slice the bread fairly thin, the same thickness as normal toaster bread. One has a natural tendency to slice these types of bread thicker, so be conscious of avoiding that. 2. Lay out half of the bread slices on a cutting board and liberally spread with the French style mayonaise and whole grain mustard. 3. Add the gypsy ham, slices of cheese, sun-dried tomatoes and
chopped spring onions. Do not be stingy with any of the ingredients – this is a super luxury braaibroodjie and not only should the quality of ingredients reflect it, but also the quantity. 4. Add the top layers of bread and drip or spread olive oil on them. 5. Place in a hinged grid (toeklaprooster) and braai over medium-low heat coals. After the first turn, also spread olive oil on the other outside (the side that was at the bottom when you assembled the units). Continue to braai over the gentle coals, turning very often, until the cheese is melted and the braaibroodjies are golden brown on the outside. 6. It goes without saying that you serve these beauties with glasses of ice cold Méthode Cap Classique, the South African – vastly superior – version of what the French call champagne. http://braai.com/braai-recipes/page/2/

Health & Wellbeing Spring Allergies Spring means gardens and parks are back to being prettier than ever. It’s also the season for stuffy noses and sneezing, no thanks to allergies. But why do people get these spring allergies in the first place? During spring, flowers bloom, and along with it the pollens are released into the air. These tiny specks of nature travel and hopefully pollinate other trees and flowers for their continued existence. However, when these pollens end up in your nostrils and accidentally inhale them, they can irritate the immune system, which sees them as foreign invaders. The body’s immunity then releases antibodies and a chemical known as histamine. For non-allergic people, these histamines are kept at a tolerable level. However, for those who are prone to allergies, the immune system goes into an overdrive and releases loads of histamine that, in turn, causes the common signs and symptoms of allergies. Pollens, however, are not the only culprits. During spring, the environment can be humid, making the surroundings including your home a perfect breeding ground for molds, which can cause the same reaction to your immune system as pollens.
“But why do people get these spring allergies in the first place?”
Prevent Those Pesky Allergies You can’t shelter yourself completely from these spring allergens, but there are many steps you can take to reduce your exposure and hopefully prevent those allergies. • First, get a clear diagnosis of your allergies. Typically, people have allergies to three or four species of trees and plants. So even if pollen counts are high, it doesn’t mean your allergies are worse. That’s why diagnosis is such an important part of allergy care. • Pay more attention to the environment too. Certain pollens move at different times of the day, and usually, during spring, these pollens come from trees. They also tend to be less active when it’s raining, but their number increases after. Expect exposure to be very high during mornings and windy days, so you might want to avoid outdoor activities at these times. • You should also be more proactive by making allergy medications your best friend. Drugs such as antihistamines and decongestants can protect you from allergies or at least reduce the symptoms. In fact, begin taking them early or before symptoms appear. With a week or two lead time, you’ll feel better all season. Although some of them require prescription, most of them are available over the counter, so having them is easy. • Don’t forget to keep your indoor air clean. Change your dirty filters, dehumidify if necessary and close windows and doors if presence of pollen in the area is high. http://www.techtimes.com/articles/143785/20160325/spring-allergies-signs-symptoms-and-treatment.htm
