Nasionale Braaidag is die breinkind van Jan Scannell, beter bekend as Jan Braai. Hy het sy ‘kwartleeftydkrisis’ in 2005 bereik en gevoel dit was tyd om waarde toe te voeg tot die samelewing. Sy idee was om ‘n projek van stapel te stuur om nasiebou te verbeter – om al die lekker aspekte saam te voeg, en so het die idee van ‘n nasionale partytjiedag ontstaan.

Amerika het hulle Thanksgiving, Ierland hulle St Patrick’s Day, Nederland hulle Koninginnedag … en nou het ons ons Braaidag, want wat is meer eg-Suid-Afrikaans as ‘n braai?!

Geniet ons onderhoud met Jan, asook die beste resep ooit vir braaibroodjies op bladsy 5, vir jou volgende braai.

Jan

Jan Braai is ongetwyfeld Suid-Afrika se gunsteling braaimeester. AWSUM News het met hom gechat terwyl nie net ‘n kudde beeste nie, maar ook ‘n trop volstruise hom en sy Jan Braai-konvooi van 60 voertuie iewers buite Calitzdorp gejaag het.

V: Hoe het Jan Braai ontstaan?

A: Jan Braai homself is gebore toe ek die Twitter-handle @janbraai in 2009 geskep het en mense so na my begin verwys het. Gelukkig is my regte naam ook Jan, so ek het darem nie te veel van ‘n gesplete persoonlikheid nie!

V: Wat dink jy van vroue wat al hoe meer die braaimeesters word?

A: O, ek dink dis fantasties! Die dae van mans wat om die braai staan en mannepraatjies maak, terwyl die vroue aartappelslaai in die kombuis maak en fyntjies aan ‘n glasie rosé pik, is gelukkig vinnig aan die verbygaan. Vroue het ‘n besonderse aanvoeling vir braaivleis, en braai eintlik baie beter. (Ek koes!)

V: Wanneer is die kole net reg?

A: Sodra die vlamme klaar gebrand het. Basta met jou hand soveel sekondes so hoog oor die kole hou. Sodra daar net kole is, braai jy.

Celebrity Interview

Braai

V: Wat braai jy?

A: Enigiets – skape, beeste, hoenders, visse – you name it.

V: Wat drink jy saam met braaivleis?

A: ‘n Baie beskaafde gin&tonic (wat ook goed is teen malariamuskiete, natuurlik) terwyl ek braai, wyn saam met die ete, en daarna ‘n brandewyntjie, of selfs ‘n whiskeytjie.

V: Wat geniet jy vir nagereg?

A: Daai stukkies braai na die braai, wanneer ons nog ‘n bietjie hout pak vir atmosfeer, en dan sommer weer ietsie op die kole gooi.

V: Wat is jou missie?

A: Om 50 miljoen Suid-Afrikaners almal op een dag te laat braai! Drie braaiboeke en verskeie TV-uitsendings later, is dit aan die gebeur! Van die boeke is ook in Europese lande beskikbaar, so die boodskap word ver en wyd versprei!

V: Wat is jou boodskap vir al die ywerige 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.

Braai lekker saam met

Jan Braai!!

As jy ‘n kopie van The Democratic Republic of Braai wil wen om jou braaimaters te beïndruk, epos ons by info@tiemedia.co.za met jou naam en kontakdetails.

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

You’ve Got the Power Challenge is Still On! Take on the challenge and win great prizes!

Now in its second month, the Bestmed ‘You’ve got the Power Challenge’ is getting more exciting.

Schools have more time to work on their creative music videos showcasing healthy living.

Sasja la Grange, Marketing and Communications Manager at Bestmed says, “With Summer nearly here, it’s a great time to come up with vibrant and creative ideas for keeping healthy at school and at home. We are pleased with the number of entries we have received to date, and wish to afford everyone an opportunity to become a part of this exciting programme.”

The challenge requires students and their families to showcase the benefits of healthy living by creating unique, cool and fun music videos and stand a chance to win great prizes.

“So far we have received great videos and it is evident that participants are having fun with the challenge. This is going to be a tight competition,”

adds la Grange.

Over and above the cash prizes for the winners and the runners-up and other spot prizes, the overall winning school will be treated to A MUSIC CONCERT featuring Richard Stirton, Gavin Edwards, Almur Marais and Jeremy Olivier from The Voice SA. In addition, R10 000 cash will be awarded to the best Individual and family entry.

There is now a school entry option, where the winning school video will be crowned based on the following criteria:

· · · ·

Performance ability (25%) Entertainment value (25%) Effort (25%) Originality (25%)

“I would like to encourage more students and their families to take on this fun challenge, demonstrate their ways to keep healthy and win awesome prizes,” concludes la Grange.

You’ve Got the Power Challenge To become part of the challenge, visit www.ygtp.co.za for more information. Each school is required to create a music video based on Bestmed’s song and demonstrate how healthy living can make for a better life within the school and family context. Teachers and families can also participate in the video as the aim is for the whole school to have fun.

Once the video is completed, it can be uploaded on the site before the competition closes on 30 September 2016. Bestmed will announce the winners on 24 October 2016.
