Strauss commented that she’s “eaten a Waldorf salad at the Waldorf Astoria in New York where it was first served in 1893, but I think Karen Dudley’s recipe is actually superior.”

Sam Woulidge deel haar Tannie Margie se resep vir grenadella-sponskoek

Confessions of a Hungry WomanKosskrywer Sam Woulidge is hoofsaaklik bekend vir haar kosrubriek in Woolworths se Taste-tydskrif waarin sy vertel van haar kosreise die wêreld oor. Haar kookboek, Confessions of a Hungry Woman, het ook pas by Struik Lifestyle verskyn. In die mees onlangse Rapport het Woulidge haar Tannie Margie se resep vir ’n dekadente grenadella-sponskoek met lesers gedeel.

Ek en die liefde van my lewe is op 6 Januarie getroud. Twaalfde Nag. Dit was ’n uitbundige, gelukkige geleentheid. Maar ons het ons troudag met twéé koeke gevier, want ons kon nie net een kies nie.

Ek wou ’n eenvoudige, elegante vrugtekoek met wit marsepein-versiering hê waarop ons op ons groot dag vars blomme kon rangskik. Jacques, wat nie vrugtekoek of marsepein kan verdra nie, het aangedring op ’n grenadella-koek, sy gunsteling, die soort met twee lae en versiersuiker tussenin en morsig bo-oor geplak. Die soort wat jy by kerkbasaars en tannies-se-huise kry.
