Chommies, meet Caitlin Hood 👋✨
This Durban girlie is all about chasing thrills and saying “yes” to new adventures. And where better to do that than Cape Town? 🌊⛰️
Armed with running shoes and a sense of adventure, the content creator and runner is on a mission to uncover Mother City gems.
This week, Caitlin is learning how to make koesisters from Bo-Kaap Cooking Tour’s Zainie Misbach.
Caitlin joined Cape Town runner Liam Lategan to discover the story behind one of the Mother City’s most iconic sweet treats. A Sunday staple in many Cape Town homes, koesisters are a Cape Malay favourite, known for their warm spices, hints of naartjie peel and soft, doughnut-like texture.
She grew up eating koesisters in Durban, but had never made them herself… until now.
