As someone who does NOT know how to make vetkoeks, this mix has honestly changed the game!

The instructions are so easy to follow, the taste is AMAZING, and they come out so soft! Whether you have them warm or cold, they stay lafu lafu (so soft 😍).

This is the kind of convenience I didn’t know I needed. At this point, I don’t need another packet… I need a subscription!

The dough was very sticky. I expected it to be firmer. I did use the water with oil on my hands but it was very soft and sticky. I used about 260ml water.

I moved away from South Africa at a young age and always loved vetkoek, but I never got the opportunity to learn how to make them myself. Until now! I absolutely love the Cooked & Ate vetkoek mix. Everything I needed was right there, and the instructions were so easy to follow. Most importantly, they tasted exactly like the ones I grew up eating. It truly created a little sense of home away from home for me!

Well where do I begin? My parcel did not even make the cupboard, straight to the kitchen I went to make mince curry and vetkoek. The taste and blend of the mixture was outstanding and took me back to SA. So much flavour it was delicious. I will definitely be ordering again soon, and highly recommend you Cooked&Ate. Tasty beyond words. Thank you xx
