“I’ve never enjoyed baking before, but now it’s a different story. I’ve learnt so much and enjoyed every minute,” says Mama Glenrose Mashiqua, from the New Era Creche in Mdantsane. “I’m going to replace the centre’s menus with the new ones. I will also share the knowledge to cook economically, such as adding potatoes to thicken soup. I’m also going to introduce pancake meals on Sundays,” adds Mama Veronica Gqamlana from the Njongozethu Support Group in Ncera, Eastern Cape.
