Kamini Pather first exploded onto the South African culinary scene as a
participant and winner of the second series of MasterChef South Africa.
Since then her life and cuisine journey has taken her down various
paths, and although she always remains grounded and grateful to her
heritage, she is not solely defined by it. As Kamini herself says, ‘All
Dhal’d Up is a collection of ancestrally-derived recipes that have been
updated through ingredients and techniques –the old world has been
given some fancy.’ The concept of good-mood food leans gently into
health, while ‘Indian-ish’ is a perfect nod to her ancestry, but fused
with other cultures and their influence on the food she likes to eat.
So although you will find traditional recipes, such as potato curry
with nigella seeds, hot water roti and rasam, as well as the
Sunday-standard meal of chicken curry, they are flanked by the delights
of cauliflower rice lamb biriyani, panko-crumbed patha wraps, bacon
dhal, pudhina hummus and rosewater ice-cream sandwiches with pistachio
cookies.

From her early cooking days inspired by her mom's Indian roots to her love for Cape Malay flavours, each recipe in this book is crafted to be approachable and full of flavour, perfect for anyone looking to bring warmth and joy to the table.
‘This is more than just a cookbook; it is a celebration of culinary
creativity and a testament to Ollie’s exceptional talent and zest for
life.’ – Ivor Jones, head chef at Chefs Warehouse BeauConstantia.

Yes, the keto diet has been around for a while; you’ve heard about it
but don’t fully understand the concept and think it’s too expensive. Or
perhaps you tried it but were overwhelmed with a deluge of often
conflicting information, so you gave up. Possibly, you are following it
faithfully but need new inspiration. Besides, there’s always new
information coming to the fore. Following on the runaway success of his
first book two years ago, Living the Ultimate Keto Lifestyle, Hendrik
Marais has decided that it’s time to introduce the ketogenic lifestyle
to even more people, while offering devotees a simplified breakdown of
the latest trends, and a completely new set of easy and delicious
recipes.
A generation of young adults have come to know, love and depend on Help! There’s a Stove in My Kitchen, Annabel Frere’s first cookbook. That same generation has graduated to the young professionals who now need to entertain on a somewhat more sophisticated level. Author Annabel has been through all these stages with her own daughters and once again provides a repertoire of tasty and relati vely simple recipes for events ranging from impromptu gatherings to well-organised occasions. Much emphasis is placed on good planning, as well as preparing foods in advance so that the cook can spend as much ti me with his or her guests, rather than in the kitchen on the day itself. Attention is also given to texture and presentation, with plenty of tips and suggestions for effortless entertaining. Where dishes may seem to be more complicated, Annabel is an expert at demystifying them. And of course, no party is complete without the right liquid accompaniments so there is a chapter on some delicious cocktails, both with and without alcohol.
Spices weaved their way into my kitchen and somehow my collection seems to flourish regardless of the homes and locations I’ve lived in. From the author and chef of Cooking for my father in My Cape Malay Kitchen, comes a cookbook that chronicles her adulation and reverence for spices. Cariema Isaacs’s affinity for spices emanates from her Cape Malay heritage and her time spent cooking and baking in her grandmother’s kitchen in Bo-Kaap, the Cape Malay Quarter in Cape Town. Thus, at a very early age she understood the tastes derived from cumin and coriander, the pungency of fennel, cloves and star anise, and the piquancy of chilli powder, cayenne pepper and masala blends. Spice Odyssey showcases a multitude of beautifully written recipes with some familiar spices from her Cape Malay heritage and fresh aromatics from her travels to India, Turkey, Malaysia, Sri Lanka and the Middle East. ‘From east to west, north to south, the routes and journeys travelled from shore to shore by slaves and explorers, travellers and traders, the story of spices emerged and the spice odyssey began.’
Met Low Carb is Lekker Drie sit Inè Reynierse die reis voort wat sy in 2015 begin het toe haar bekroonde kookboek, Low Carb is Lekker, die land stormenderhand verower het. Inè se resepte voorsien in die behoefte vir koolhidraatbewuste, suikervrye en graanvrye maaltye, maar plaas die klem op hoër voedingswaarde en gesonde eetgewoontes. Vir haar geregte het jy nie spesialiteitsbestanddele of duur kosplaasvervangers nodig nie. Omdat sy op ’n klein Bolandse dorp woon, het sy geleer om kreatief te wees met wat sy byderhand het: vleis en suiwel van goeie gehalte, en die varsste groente en kruie. Haar slaaisouse, doopsouse, souse en glutenvrye meelmengsels vorm die grondslag van ’n voortreike verskeidenheid resepte vir van ontbyt tot aandete en van weekdaggesinsmaaltye tot naweek-onthaalkos. Danksy haar fokus op die verbetering van algemene gesondheid en welstand is Inè se resepte ideaal vir enigeen wat elke dag van die week goeie kos op die tafel wil sit.
This is Durban curry, continued... a show which has been running
since the 1860s, when the first indentured labourers came from
India to work in the sugar cane plantations of then colonial Natal.
They brought spices, and seeds, and recipes. And when inevitably,
the influences and memories of the mother cuisine faded, Durban
curry became its own thing.

Bibby’s – More Good Food embraces approachable food made with thoughtful consideration. Devoid of intimidating complexities, the recipes are for the most part appealingly simple, versatile and straightforward. Many of the recipes are plant-centric without being exclusively vegetarian. Expect an abundance of textural contrast and funky flavour enhancers. The book is divided into nine vibrantly fresh chapters, influenced largely by Middle Eastern and Mediterranean flavours. The author advises on what constitutes a well-stocked pantry and how to maximize its potential to the fullest. The busyness of weekdays is balanced with slower weekends, when a few gentler hours in the kitchen are just what’s needed. The doors are thrown open to hospitality, marrying food and creative tablescapes, setting the tone for intimate at-home gatherings. Meticulously crafted menus ensure a seamless transition from start to finish, with classy cocktails, traditional breads, resplendent mains and swoon-worthy desserts. All the recipes are beautifully styled and photographed by the author herself. If you’re after food less ordinary, this is the book for you.

Die lugbraaier is ’n veelsydige kombuistoestel wat toenemend gewild raak. Baie mense gebruik lugbraaiers net om voorafbereide kos soos krummellaaghoender of bevrore vis en aartappelskyfies gaar te maak, maar dit kan ook vir talle uithalergeregte, selfs gebak, ingespan word. Die boek fokus op ou bekende gunstelinge soos malvapoeding, bobotie, appelkoos-snoek met soetpatats, melktert en boerewors met chakalaka, om net ’n paar te noem. Alles word in die lugbraaier gaargemaak.
Topverkoperskrywer Louisa Holst weet wat die lugbraaiermark wil hê en het weer plaaslike geure na vore gebring! Resepte sluit in springbokkie-kaaskoek, brandewyn-en-coke-hoendervlerkies, snoek- en appelkoosfilo-samosas, en 'n visvinger-Gatsby vir die honger kinders wat hulle self kan opslaan. Peri-peri-hoenderpastei, gammon (ja – dit kan in die lugbraaier gedoen word), gebraaide lam, karringmelkbeskuit, pavlova en mini-vrugtekoeke is nog meer van die watertand geregte in die boek.
The air fryer is a versatile kitchen gadget that has grown in popularity over the last few years. Essentially it is a small countertop convection oven that cooks food quickly and efficiently.

In The South African Air Fryer Cookbook, we focus on all things local, with favourites such as malva pudding, bobotie, apricot snoek with sweet potato, milk tart, and boerewors with chakalaka, all prepared in the air fryer. You’re sure to find your most cherished South African dish in this fabulous collection of recipes.
