Winter, flour and delicious food – it’s the perfect combination! You’re invited to the launch of the July edition of Get It Bloemfontein Winter Food, in collaboration with Checkers, on Friday, 3 July 2026, from 13:00 at Checkers Hyper Fleurdal, Bloemfontein.

Come meet Yolanda Maartens, discover why this edition is a true ‘Meel Makietie’. It’s packed with comfort food, creative baking ideas and winter recipes that will keep your family warm this season.

Mariza Ebersohn shares a decadent twist on two comfort favourites. A sticky toffee malva pudding pie that combines rich caramel flavours, a buttery crust, and a luscious sauce-soaked filling in every irresistible slice. And then for a match made in pastry! Tender slow-cooked lamb, rich gravy and flaky golden pastry come together in this comforting pie that is packed with warmth, flavour and old-school goodness.

Think your baking skills deserve the spotlight? Then enter the Get It Winter Food ‘Meel Meester’ Cake-Off Competition. Twelve finalists will have the opportunity to showcase their cakes at this year's Winter ‘Meel Makietie’ and compete for fantastic prizes from Checkers.

Checkers – better and better.
