MARKET REPORT: ‘Plat op die aarde’ in the heart of the Cape Whale Coast

It’s heralded as the new millionaire’s mecca of South Africa, with a combined worth of over $26-billion floating about thanks to hundreds of rich new residents migrating to this sleepy Cape Whale Coast hollow. Yet Hermanus isn’t flashy. You won’t find grunting Ferraris hurling past you on the main road. And there are no self-proclaimed social media influencers posing on the beaches on a random Tuesday morning.

Edible fruit confections from master creator Yana Ignatiuk. Yana is a self-taught confectioner from Ukraine who was stranded in SA with her family for more than four months. A hearty selection of Overberg classics is available at the market. You won’t find any chain vendors or Cape Town trader regulars here – which is a good thing. Bread and pastries come from a local baker pair in town. The wines all celebrate the unique terroir of the Hemel-and-Aarde. The pies are the handiwork of a local couple, oom Deon and tannie Heidi Gouws. Heck, even the eggs on Hetta’s scrambled egg and bacon rolls are from a farm outside Stanford.

Next door to Yana’s Cake is Brood etc., owned by local bakers and private chefs Susan Thirion and Johan Lamprecht. Johan has a soft spot for Yana’s macarons and trades them readily for pastries from their Brood etc. table. The loaves are a Biblical picture of abundance with woven and pleated stone-ground selections. You can’t go wrong with one of their giant ciabattas to take home for the week.

While carbs are king, especially on a cold winter’s morning, there are plenty of meaty options to go around too. Jalapeno Bombs, for example; a cream cheese-stuffed whole jalapeno wrapped in sausage meat and bacon and fired over the coals. These scrumptious morsels may be low-carb, but I can’t vouch for their cholesterol count… Either way, they’re moreish and hot and delicious.
