BRAAI

AND OUTDOOR COOKING

Gathering around braai and potjie fires is one of the quintessentially South African affairs. The best thing is that you do not need a reason to light up the fire. You can braai on weekends because it is relaxing; you can braai practically throughout the year, because the weather allows it. The opportunities for a braai are endless. And if you ever feel the need to go a step further, consider adding that irresistible Italian specialty, the pizza, to your outdoor cooking repertoire.

Get your braai, potjie, pizza oven and all the braai and outdoor cooking tools and accessories you need on bidorbuy and start sending invites to friends for your next outdoor party. Bon appétit!
