Hierdie boek is ’n universele gids oor alles wat Jan Braai tans oor braai weet. Dit is ’n viering van hierdie wonderlike Suid-Afrikaanse tradisie waaraan 15–20 miljoen Suid-Afrikaners elke jaar op 24 September op Nasionale Braaidag deelneem. Om hierdie kulturele gebeurtenis se 20ste herdenking te vier het Jan Braai meer as 200 resepte bymekaargesit wat oor ’n houtvuur gaargemaak en daar langsaan geniet kan word.

Die boek is in 20 hoofstukke verdeel en sluit resepte in vir tradisionele gunstelinge soos klassieke potjies, steaks, burgers en ribbetjies, tot minder konvensionele geregte wat op die braai voorberei word, soos pasta, pizza, slaai en nagereg. Elke gereg is smaaklik en die meegaande fotografie sal jou mond laat water en jou familie en vriende geesdriftig op ’n samekoms langs die vuur laat aandring terwyl jy jou braaivaardighede ten toon stel. Jan Braai se duidelike instruksies en nugter houding teenoor die braaikuns sal verseker dat selfs groentjiebraaiers hierdie resepte maklik baasraak.

Daar is iets vir almal in hierdie boek, en die maklik verkrygbare bestanddele beteken dis verspot maklik om die maaltye saam te stel, aangesien die meeste items waarskynlik reeds byderhand is, of met min moeite of ’n vinnige rit na die supermark in die hande gekry kan word.

Ook beskikbaar in Engels, as 'Atmosfire'.

This 44th edition of the authoritative South African wine guide features Five Star wines out of over 8,000 wines reviewed.

Platter’s features descriptions of over 900 producers across the vibrant wine regions of South Africa and also offers the 100-point equivalents for the familiar star ratings, as well as useful information for learning about and travelling in these beautiful wine lands.

This captivating narrative tells the story of Beyers Truter, a world-renowned South African winemaker known for his expertise and dedication to crafting some of the finest wines. From his early days at Kanonkop to his rise as the proud owner of Beyerskloof, Beyers' journey is one of triumph, vision, and a profound love for his craft. In 1991, his exceptional skill earned him the prestigious title of International Winemaker of the Year.

At the heart of this story is Pinotage, the uniquely South African grape that Beyers championed with unmatched passion. His connection to this cultivar goes beyond winemaking—Pinotage became a symbol of his unwavering dedication to quality and innovation.

But Beyers' story is not just about wine. It’s a tale of a man who lives with a heart full of passion, generosity, and humility. His personal narrative is woven with humor, touching moments, and vivid anecdotes, whether recounting his nervous first harvest at Kanonkop or his dream of owning his own vineyard—a dream he realized with the creation of Beyerskloof.

Through this memoir, Beyers shares stories of deep friendships, camaraderie with fellow wine legends, and the simple joys of life, such as his love for dogs, diving, seafood, and the people of Namibia. This is not a conventional biography, but rather an exploration of Beyers Truter’s zest for life, his unwavering commitment to his craft, and the relationships that shaped him along the way.

Traildust In A Wine Glass is a celebration of passion, perseverance, and the beauty of living fully—one glass of wine at a time.

The Afrikaans edition of Cook and Enjoy was first published in 1951. It has firmly established itself as a South African classic and one of the most popular local cookery titles ever. Revised, updated and completely redesigned to echo its original smaller and thicker format, the new edition combines a readable, modern feel with the classic look of the original.

The inspiration behind Restaurant Klein JAN did not come from a desire to create a fine dining experience in the middle of the Kalahari. It came from the heart – from the tables of my childhood – memories that I have taken with me into an unknown land. Although I hadn’t been to the Kalahari before visiting Tswalu for the first time, I instantly connected with this place. I felt my grandmother’s presence at Boscia House, I fell in love with the people of the Northern Cape and was overwhelmed by their hospitality, and the more time I spent in the Kalahari, the deeper my roots spread through the endless red earth. This book is my homage to losing your heart to a special place, and making your dreams come true.

Creating Klein JAN has been Chef Jan Hendrik van der Westhuizen’s great homecoming project. Growing up on a farm in South Africa’s rural Mpumalanga province, he felt an instant connection to the vastness of the Kalahari and knew that the time had come to return the spirit of JAN – his Michelin-star restaurant in Nice – to home soil.

Klein JAN is situated on one of South Africa’s leading private game reserves, Tswalu Kalahari, a refuge – untamed, untouched, unspoiled – that celebrates the simple, authentic splendours of this magical region.

Klein JAN tells the story

The bright yellow sunflowers in the fields around Charroux, the smell of roasting chestnuts, rich onion soup, a classic salad Nicoise, cassoulet or pot au feu, fennel and endive, lemn tarts, malva pudding and the wild food of the places where I live ... Walks down narrow country lanes, wild beaches and cobbled streets ... Times with special people over simple meals ... This I want to share with you.

Building on the success of her previous books, in Good + Simple, Sarah Graham continues to celebrate an abundance of vegetables and natural, whole foods in the same simple and accessible style her loyal army of followers have come to know and love.

Good + Simple is the result of learning how to live, cook and eat through a global health pandemic. For Sarah, this meant adapting to a changing daily routine, and becoming more flexible in her approach to cooking and eating. Naturally, she ended up reworking a lot of family favourites to be as fast and easy as possible, and to take up minimal time and energy.

Good + Simple offers a collection of wholesome and delicious recipes for the whole family, specifically designed to be easy to achieve with simple ingredients. Covering a variety of dietary preferences and needs, simple substitutions for the occasional meat-eater, and including five-ingredient and one-pot dishes, the book makes cooking and meal planning easy, enjoyable and memorable.

This is more than just another recipe book.

It celebrates food and asks us to experience the magic of preparing it. It introduces us to the possibility of making cooking and eating an exquisite, meditative, occasion - an antidote to our fast food junk culture. Ultimately, our enjoyment of things depends on the quality of attention we give them. Cooking and eating are no exception.

To help you do this, the 'Zenecdotes' accompanying the moody pictures in this book will put a Buddha smile on your face as you wait for the bread to rise...

Food is so much more than just fuel. It’s pleasure. It’s comfort. It’s connection. It’s culture and tradition. It’s celebration. In the same way, Paradise is so much more than just a cookbook. It’s indulgent. It’s decadent. It’s vibrant. It’s unapologetically rich. It’s tropical. It’s African but also global. It’s all about good food – the kind that makes you forget everything else for a moment.
 
Much of today’s messaging around food instils us with feelings of guilt or shame simply for enjoying what we eat. With  Paradise,  Kenneth encourages us to let our hair down, to embrace moments of indulgence, to occasionally treat ourselves and our loved ones. Go ahead, eat that cake. Celebrate friendships with pizza and red wine. Say yes to extra cheese and that second helping.
 
The recipes in  Paradise  are as varied as they are easy and delicious. Experiencing and appreciating the flavours and traditions of a variety of cultures, both regionally and internationally, has given Kenneth a unique outlook on food, allowing him to fuse various culinary traditions to create something truly distinctive. From traditional southern African dishes such as seswaa, mokwetjepe, magwinya and Cape Malay curry to global favourites such as Jamaican oxtail, Korean fried chicken, Vietnamese pho and Mississippi mud pie, Paradise takes classics you know and love, and elevates them to their full potential – using quality ingredients, better techniques and a deep respect for flavour.
 
So be inspired. Be empowered. Explore the art of cooking and discover the pleasure it can bring to your life as you enter Paradise…
