Kostalgie

In haar derde kosboek kyk Barbara Joubert terug na die geregte, kombuise, bestanddele en landskappe wat haar liefde vir kosmaak oor ’n loopbaan van dertig jaar aangewakker het.

Die inspirasies vir Kostalgie spruit uit vele oorde: van haar familie-plaas op die Nuweveldberge in die Karoo, tot haar ouerhuis in Tamboerskloof in Kaapstad. En deur haar reise na onder meer Frankryk, Italië, Portugal en Brittanje is Barbara se passie vir kos as kulturele uitdrukking ontwikkel, die invloed waarvan vir haar ‘n onlosmaaklike deel van haar uitdrukking as kok en joernalis geword het.

“Wat ek van die wêreld gesien het, is dat dit een groot kombuis is,” sê Barbara. “Kos is die een gemeenskaplike faktor waaroor elke nasie trots, en mededeelsaam is. Hoewel ek in Oos, Wes, Tuis, Bes glo en my heelwat op Suid-Afrikaanse kos toespits, moes ek my herinneringe oproep van die maaltye en geure wat ek in ander lande ervaar het. Dit is immers deel van die storie van wie ek is.”

Of dit Portugal se vark en seekos, die huiskos van Franse gasvryheid of hartlike pasta-geregte van Italië is, Kostalgie word saamgesnoer deur gemaklike vertellings van smaaklike plekke met toeganklike resepte.
Tussendeur verskyn die fotografie van Micky Hoyle, een van Suid-Afrika se voorste kosfotograwe wat nie net Barbara se geregte op die blaaie laat lewe nie, maar wie ook na die buiteland gereis het om die kleure, mense en produkte waaroor geskryf word vas te vang.

Kostalgie – Geure van my Lewe is ’n besonderse toevoeging tot die boekrak van enige kosliefhebber.

Meat Manifesto - Proper and Delicious

Meat Manifesto: Proper and Delicious offers a practical and considered guide on how to choose meat, how to butcher it and how to cook it. Andy believes you can’t sell meat unless you know what to do with it and, in between personal food philosophies and agricultural insights, the book celebrates various cuts of meat, by introducing readers to them and offering delicious recipes best suited to each specific one. Andy smokes, grills and roasts his way through beef, pork, lamb, venison, poultry and even goat as recipes range from exotic (tongue, ears and offal) to basic (how to grill a pork chop). The book will explain how to make bacon at home but also why you should be eating grass-fed beef, as opposed to feedlot. It will show you how to butcher a chicken at home but also explain how to best cook it. It is meticulously researched but presented in an approachable way. The end goal is to walk people through various meat recipes, sure, but also to strengthen the reader’s relationship with their supply chain by asking them to consider if they really are happy with the status quo.

For many years, Lorraine's fans have asked her if she could make some of their best-loved indulgences a bit lighter, so that they could enjoy them a little more often and with less guilt. Classic no-holds-barred sweets hold a special place in Lorraine's heart, but she wanted to offer healthier versions of them, along with some innovative ideas, so she embarked on a long journey of experimentation, testing, retesting, tears, and eventually...progress: treats that retain maximum flavour yet are bursting with goodness. And the fruits of her labour are all here, but they still taste naughty. A Lighter Way to Bake isn't packed with obscure grains, nuts, or seeds. Instead, using everyday ingredients, with expert nutritionists evaluating every morsel, she has come up with 100 nourishing, stress-free recipes, from everyday bread and savoury meals to light snacks, divine pastries, and heavenly cakes. Sesame Pretzel Buns or Cappuccino and Cinnamon Pecan muffins are the perfect afternoon pick-me-up.

And Chocolate Torte or Pumpkin Spice Cupcakes with Cream Cheese Frosting will make for a sumptuous finish. Lorraine Pascale's fun, sociable style of cooking came to wide public attention with her landmark BBC television show, Baking Made Easy.
