bToday, author Jessica Bakkers has hosted my blog tour post for A Ghost and His Gold. Thank you, Jessica. This post includes a recipe for potjiekos, a traditional South African stew cooked in a three legged cast iron pot over an open fire. Jessica has short stories in Wings & Fire and Shadowland horror anthologies [compiled by Dan Alatorre] and her own book, Guns of Perdition, an excellent and unusual horror story.
I am lucky enough to bring to you, not only a new paranormal history book from Roberta Eaton Cheadle, but also a description of one of the historically accurate meals enjoyed by the folks in “A Ghost and his Gold”…something that sounds delicious, even if I can’t pronounce it! Enjoy and celebrate the tour with Roberta, and check out details below for a great give away offer!!

This is a wonderful post. I had no idea to the origins of the Dutch hutspot. I am saving this post especially because I feel in love with this delicious meal when I visited Holland a few years ago. Every night we were in Holland, I ordered hutspot. You just made my day, Robbie and Jessica!

Hi Rebecca, I am delighted that this post and recipe brought back good memories for you. This dish is very popular here and there are ‘usually’ annual potjiekos competitions at fetes and Christmas markets.

Thank you, Darlene. I like to keep the posts a little different and interesting. Blog tour posts are hard work to write, I end up thinking really hard about the content of the book.

Hi Carol, I try to keep it a bit interesting. This style of cooking is still hugely popular in South Africa. It can also be made in a large pot on the stove.

Hi Marsha, unfortunately it is still not available as an ebook on Amazon. I don’t know why it is taking so long this time. It is available as an ebook on Lulu.com if that helps. Thanks for your interest.
