The 33rd Annual World Bobotie Competition


On Saturday the 4th of December 2010 our 33rd annual bobotie  cook-off took place. The event was notable for an illustrious judge who was flown in from the frozen north. She was Karen Muir the famous swimmer from South Africa who set many world records in the 60s. She was ably assisted  by Ray Bolton wine and SA food connoisseur.

The competitors were Craig Bösenberg, Rose Brink, Sonje Bosman, Mandy Coleman (who was the gracious hostess), Marc(Louise) Bösenberg and Phillipa Hudson.


Phillipa (Phi/Fi?) was kind enough to do a presentation of her photographs of the Western Cape Fynbos. These were absolutely stunning and taken with a little point-and-shoot Canon camera. I hope she is able to post a couple to the blog. 

The boboties .....

The stunning boboties arranged from R to L were Brink, Hudson, Bösenberg(Marc), Bösenberg(Craig), Bosman, Coleman.
There were some winners but the evening was more about family, friends, good food, a lot of laughs and a glass of wine or two. The good times being enjoyed by other invited guests and family.

  1. Well thankyou Marc for this beautiful blog!
    Least you refer me to one of the subcommittees- that- never- meet please regard this as more of a question/comment rather than a complaint:
    Was that just emotion causing you to blink a bit or was it a series of coquettish winks directed at the judges?
