Proudly South AfricanInspired Cooking Recipe Book Bundle (3 Books)

About

Three uniquely South African books. One, a recipe book focused on South African township cooking; the second, a book about cooking better; and the third, a seriously yummy cookbook featuring the most viral recipes ever!

Johanne 14 by Hope Malau

Johanne 14 explores the secrets of simple, homecooked meals in South Africa’s townships. Told through the eyes of award-winning food writer Hope Malau, the book features authentic, traditional dishes cooked with love, and acknowledges the ability of countless unsung kitchen heroes – the mothers, fathers, grandparents and siblings – to make culinary magic with often very little. It is a vital glimpse into South African township life; moreover, it is a celebration of culture, resilience, the human spirit, community and family – through the shared meal. Beautifully photographed and personally told, this title provides unique insight into SA’s unsung culinary traditions and township culture. Know your serobe from your kgobe-kgobe? Explores much-loved favourites and the more unusual ingredients of SA township food. Over 60 practical recipes, from mains to sweet treats. A welcome, never-before-seen addition to the local cookbook scene. Large tourist audience as well as local buyers. A nostalgic journey for the people of South Africa

Cook. Better. by Nikki Werner, Brandon De Kock

This is not a cookbook. It’s a book about cooking. Think of it as cooking between the lines. Or what your mother should have told you. Yes, there are recipes, but this book is about the journey, not the destination, so taking centre stage are the how’s and whys behind everyday ingredients and techniques – when to use coarse or finely ground salt; best pairings for common garden herbs; extracting and building flavour; champion chopping techniques; foolproof fillet; spud’s lore, jackets and all... Whereas lessons on technique are found mostly in hefty culinary bibles, this user-friendly book is for everyone who’s anywhere along the cookery continuum. It is the ‘ta-da’ moment for those who have been cooking, duty bound, for years, but didn’t show up for basics training.
