Man’s need for fresh food was once the main reason for the colonization of South Africa, when in 1652 the Cape was used as a refreshment station for passing VOC sailing ships on their arduous journey around the Cape of good Hope. 

The early settlers in the Cape were producing a variety of European vegetables and fruit. Most of their cooking was done the Dutch way, in a pot over an open fire. That pot (“potjie” in Afrikaans) is still part of South Africa’s culinary tradition today. 

Over the years other cultures like the Malay slaves, the French Huguenots, the Indians the British and many others from all over the world, have been introducing and adding their culinary preferences.

Next to grilling, they used to cook meat together with all kinds of vegetables, herbs and spices in one go in clay and later cast-iron pots over open fires. So has the three-legged cast iron pot become an indispensable item in virtually every household, in which to cook delicious meals called "Potjiekos" (pot-food).
