Back Story

“The dish is very personal for me because after travelling the world and coming back to South Africa a restaurant that is near where I live has a smoked trout rosti and have loved it ever since I first tried it and every time my family and I go there we have this for breakfast and it is really out of this world so this is my attempt to make it.” - Michael Farrell
