September is all about Hartlief's VERY extensive Salami and Cured Meats range. And when I say 'Extensive Range', I really mean it's a massive range. The range consists of: Beef Salami, German Salami, German Salami Short, Italian salami short, Italian Salami, Pepper salami, Pepper salami short, Salami Selection, Windhoek Salami, Lamb Windhoek Salami, Dauerwurst, Coppa, Black Forest Ham, Mettwurst, Teewurst, Smoked beef, and Chorizo. I know what you're wondering. With 9 different types of Salami, do they actually each have their own unique taste? Absolutely! For this board, I used Italian […]

Oh dear... I think I'm starting to fall down a rabbit hole with these Hartlief Charcuterie Boards. I feel like a Charcuterie Cup might be better than a board. Simply because too many fingers can help themselves to a board, but with a cup, it's all yours! And the options would be endless! I'm thinking the perfect Charcuterie Cup would have Cabanossi, Landjäger, Lamb as well as Pork Streaky Bacon […]

  Here's a different take on a Charcuterie board. Yes, this time, I'm not posting my own creation, but that's simply because Hartlief's Landjägers and Cabanossis are so good, there is no way they last from being bought, to being placed on a charcuterie board. They are called the perfect snacks for a reason! And I 'snack' them right up, the minute I walk out of a store. I am […]

I present to you, the Breakfast inspired Charcuterie Board; probably one of the best ideas I've ever had! Hartlief has an extensive Bacon range, and August is all about Bacon, which is a type of salt-cured pork made from various cuts. However, while Bacon is typically made using pork, Hartlief made history this year by producing the world's first ever Lamb Bacon. We'll explore the Lamb Bacon range later this […]

Well, well, well... It's true, everything (well almost everything) is better when it is deep fried! With the current cold front hitting Windhoek HARD, I've been graving some comfort food, and since I'm playing around with Charcuterie boards, using Hartlief's wide and diverse sausage range, I thought I'd give coating and deep frying them a go. I can confirm that my family and I were not left disappointed!   Here's […]

The Secret Life of Motherhood has received so much positive support, feedback, and interaction since launching 10 weeks ago.  We knew we had stumbled upon something special when we launched, but we never dreamt that we would hit the nail on the head THIS hard. Thank you for all your support! Over the past 10 week, Christine and I (Anne) have laughed, cried, shouted out of pure frustration, and found […]

Charcuterie. Everyone loves a Charcuterie board, but what does it mean? Well, it's French! The word comes from 'chair', meaning flesh, and 'cuit' meaning cooked - You learn something new, everyday, right? It's also a branch of French cuisine devoted to prepared meat products, such as bacon, ham, and sausage. And locally, nobody does that better than Hartlief ! Did you know that Hartlief produces 12 different mouthwatering types of sausages? […]
