Roosterkoek queen tannie Poppie van As, who hails from the Karoo town of Laingsburg, visited Paarl today, 23 September for a unique Heritage Day event.

Tannie Poppie kom Paarl toe! featured a cast of heritage chefs and local entrepreneurs joining forces to showcase traditional South African delicacies and to pay tribute to the diversity that lies at the heart of South Africa’s proud heritage.

Mouthwatering!
