The recipe for melktert was submitted by my friend Mary Brum, a former South African, now living in the USA. Mary works full time, loves the outdoors and to explore places of interest. Together with her husband, Greg, they have enjoyed several interesting trips overseas and locally.

Mary is very health conscious and selects food with nutritional value. She juices fruits and vegetables, making interesting drinks for Greg & herself. She cooks tasty food but with limited amounts of oil and rich, calorie laden food. We look forward to more of Mary's recipes on healthy fare.

For the occasional pot lucks Mary considers the tastes of her not so health conscious buddies and often brings treats such as Koeksusters, (a kind of donut) and other regular food. Her melktert recipe is also one of those that she would make for others & most likely just a tiny taste for herself. Her treats are always yummy, so you can be assured of a delicious melktert with this recipe.
