With characteristic generosity of spirit, Tessa invites us into her kitchen to share what she's cooking now: an exciting blend of new discoveries and enduring favourites that connect the threads of her life. While the Tuscan countryside has been Tessa's home for more than 20 years, her culinary influences are wonderfully diverse: her childhood in South Africa, travels to Mexico and New Orleans as a young adult, frequent visits to family in Thailand and Greece, all overlaid with a growing appreciation for lighter, more grounded plant-focused eating. This quintessential collection of more than 150 new recipes is accompanied by Tessa's personal reflections and favourite food memories. Longtime fans will rejoice in her best work yet, and aspiring young cooks will quickly discover how and why she has redefined the modern cookbook. Part memoir, part travel guide, part food odyssey, Now & Then provides endless inspiration for recipes that reflect Tessa's culinary past, present and future.
The recipes in this book can be used every day of the week for that one main course we cook daily, whether we’re cooking for the family or entertaining our friends. Divided into just three chapters – Meat, Poultry and Seafood – the recipes range from well-known classics to modern dishes, many with a Continental influence. All are prepared with the author’s flair for home-cooked, hearty and delicious meals. Plate would make the perfect house-warming gift for those relatively inexperienced in the kitchen, but even seasoned cooks will find inspiration.
This book shows you how to apply popular craft techniques to cake decorating, creating edible crafts using fondant icing (sugar paste), modelling paste, chocolate paste, buttercream icing, ganache and royal icing. Whether you are a baker or cake decorator who would like to learn new crafts and apply them to your cakes or a crafter who would like to learn to bake and decorate cakes, there is something for everyone. Katrien chose tray bake cakes (rectangular sheet cakes) to work on, keeping the shape simple and focusing on the craft techniques used to decorate them. The cake is a blank canvas on which artwork is created. The inspiration for the decorative designs comes from paper crafts, mosaics, embroidery, printed fabric patterns, quilting, applique and whatever craft you can imagine. This book features 18 cake craft projects from start to finish, as well as mini cakes, showing you step by step how to create your own works of art. As an added bonus there are some tried and trusted recipes for cakes, buttercream, ganache and fondant icing as well as designs to use in decorations.

During the screening of the MasterChef South Africa 2013 series, TV viewers were both fascinated by, and impressed with, the Van der Wat sisters. Seline and Leandri’s relationship and their varying cooking styles and personalities kept audiences on the edge of their seats right up until the final episode as they were ultimately placed second and third – no mean achievement. Since then their foodie careers have taken off, albeit in differing directions. But in Two, they are back in collaboration to present a really fascinating cookbook concept: taking the same main ingredient and creating two different dishes from it, or taking a classic recipe and making one for family and casual dining, and the other version to impress for serious entertaining. Whatever the case, both dishes will be utterly delicious. So, for instance, take a straight forward Pea Soup. The basic recipe is Pea and Fennel Soup with Goat’s Cheese and Lemon Oil – wonderful for a weekday meal. And for your dinner party guests, try Pea Brûlée with Smoked Salmon Velouté and Asparagus Ribbons.
