In Bibby’s Kitchen – The essence of good food, Di Bibby shares food recipes that seduce and charm. This book celebrates vibrant, flavoursome food with strong Middle Eastern and Mediterranean influences. The recipes support a cook-from-scratch philosophy, guided by the intuitive prompting of seasonality, solid flavourings and visual appeal – from vegan to vegetarian, soulful soups, slow food and simple suppers to pantry staples that make everyday meals easy and effortless. The book aims at a balanced way to cook and eat, rather than exclusions and restrictive classifications.

The reader will find here a modern interpretation of cooking with bold ingredients such as za’tar, harissa, chermoula and ancient grains. Delight yourself with Shawarma chicken and spelt pilaf with zhoug yoghurt, Harrisa lentil shakshuka with foaming sesame butter, Curly kale soup with freekeh and parmesan, Cardamom crème anglaise with hibiscus-roasted guavas, and much more. The popular Cake Friday and Dessert chapters feature swoon-worthy bakes and posh puddings to impress.

Bibby’s Kitchen – The essence of good food articulates the reason why we eat. It’s unapologetically colourful and filled with exuberantly delicious food. It’s about fashioning food and flavours, but mostly it is about people. Together, they create a kind of magic.

In Seisoenskos word jy genooi om heeljaar volgens die seisoen te eet. Verlekker jou in die lekkertes van elke seisoen:

waatlemoenen druiwe in die somer; grenadellas en vye in herfs; sitrusvrugte in die winter en avokados, kappertjies en spruite in die lente. Elke seisoen maak voorsiening vir voorgeregte, brood en happies, hoofgeregte en nageregte en gebak. Met nuttige wenke soos hoe om jou eie groen knoffel te groei. Vir alle kosliefhebbers.

Elke hoofstuk is steeds gestruktureer rondom een van die vele feeste wat die Kaapse Maleiers gereeld vier, met resepte van die spesiale disse wat vir spesiale geleenthede berei word. 'Nerens op aarde is daar nog 'n gemeenskap wat so graag fees vier as die Kaapse Maleiers nie; nerens op ons planeet 'n groep mense so toegewyd in hul danksegging aan die Almagtige vir die seeninge van die tafel nie ...' skryf dr MC D'arcy in die voorwoord van hierdie titel. Kaap-Maleise kos is lank reeds gewild onder Suid-Afrikaners in alle kringe. Hierdie titel bevat resepte vir die ou gunstelinge, sowel as minder bekende, maar ewe smullekker disse wat tradisioneel op die tafels van die Kaapse Maleiers te vinde is. Cass Abrahams Kook Kaap-Maleis spog met heelwat nuwe resepte, onder andere tradisionele disse van ander groepe in ons multi-kulturele gemeenskap, wat stelselmatig deel geword het van die Kaap-Maleise kostradisie. Daar is uitgebreide opdienwenke buite die Kaap-Maleise kulturele konteks, en die asemrowende nuwe kosfoto's fokus op individuele borde kos, onweerstaanbaar aantreklike voorgesit, liewer as die oorvloed van die tradisionele Kaap-Maleise tafel wat so kenmerkend aan hulle feesviering is. Met hierdie nuwe benadering hoop Cass om die smullekker geregte waarvan die resepte al meer as 300 jaar van geslag tot geslag oorgedra word, van die gesinstafel tot in die beste restaurante te neem sodat almal wat ons pragtige land besoek die unieke geure en smake van Suid-Afrika se eeue-oue kostradisies kan geniet.

For adults only ...When someone is presented with a plate of seemingly ordinary cupcakes and told that it is in fact a twist on their favourite alcoholic drink, it's amazing to see how their eyes light up. The author and her family spent many years as "expats" during which time she started experimenting with alcohol-infused versions of cupcakes and soon could not keep up with the demand. This collection of recipes has been tested, tweaked and adjusted where necessary to ensure that they are practically flop-proof. Some have liqueur in the icing, some have wine or beer in the cake itself, and others have seductive soft centres oozing with delightful cocktail ingredients. Step-by-step instructions explain clearly how the cupcakes are made, and while this book is not about cake decorating, the author includes fabulous ideas for making the cupcakes reflect something of their special nature. Gorgeous full-page photographs of every cupcake will inspire even the most reluctant cook to try them and helpful hints and tips throughout will help ensure success. There are also lots of suggested alternatives and recommendations for substitutions. Conversion tables and basic facts about alcohol and how it reacts in batter and icing complete the information you need to replicate the scrumptious cupcakes. So whether your favourite tipple is beer stout or pink champagne, your ideal cocktail Pina Colada or a Margarita, you want this book. It will change the nature of high tea forever!

Discover the traditional recipes, veld remedies and diverse culinary tales in Kitchen of my Heart, a fascinating visit to the historic heart of South Africa. Author Sydda Essop has spent years interviewing more than 70 cooks and healers (who range in age from 23 to 96) from across the cultural spectrum in South Africa's remarkable Karoo region. Each interviewee has shared their heartfelt stories of personal challenges and triumphs, and their most precious family recipes. Those interviewed hail from a diverse range of backgrounds, as they include descendants of the Khoisan and Xhosa peoples, the Dutch, British and French settlers, slaves from the East, Greeks, Portuguese, Indians, Jews and even Somalis. Essop pays homage to this rich cultural interdependency without turning a blind eye to the politics, poverty and harsh climate that frequently characterises the region. The recipes included run the foodie gamut from traditional tripe, venison, Karoo lamb and beer to curries, bread, sweets and simple yet wholesome suppers. Also included is a selection of classic Karoo herbal remedies.

Kook en geniet het in 1951 vir die eerste keer verskyn. Met meer as 'n halfmiljoen eksemplare in druk is dit ongetwyfeld die klassieke Suid-Afrikaanse kookboek. Generasies is grootgemaak en het self leer kook aan die hand van die boek. Kook en geniet dek alles wat jy ooit oor kook kan wil weet - van hoe om bestanddele te meet, oonde optimaal te gebruik, groente voor te berei en vleis gaar te maak tot hoe om kos perfek te vries - naas die meer as 700 ekonomiese, beproefde en geliefde resepte. Dink aan Japie se gunsteling, waterblommetjies of souskluitjies.

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.

Slegs volwassenes ... Dis kostelik om te sien hoe iemand wat 'n happie neem van wat op die oog af soos 'n doodgewone kolwyntjie lyk en dan uitvind dat dit eintlik 'n kinkel in die vorm van 'n gewilde drankie bevat, se gesig ophelder. Die skrywer van Kolwyntjies met skop het baie jare in die buiteland deurgebring waar haar man gewerk het, en daar begin eksperimenteer met kolwyntjies wat alkohol in verskeie vorms bevat. Sy kon sommer gou skaars voorbly om in die vraag daarna te voorsien. Hierdie versameling resepte is deeglik getoets, verfyn en waar nodig aangepas om te verseker dat hulle feitlik flatervry is. Sommige kolwyntjies se versiering bevat likeur, by ander is daar wyn of bier in die beslag self, en by verskeie word jou hap na die middel toe beloon met 'n verleidelike, loperige binnekant van die gewildste skemerkelkies. Stap-vir-stap-aanwysings verduidelik presies hoe elke kolwyntjie gemaak word, en hoewel dit in hierdie boek nie gaan oor koekversiering as sodanig nie, sluit die skrywer fantastiese idees in om die kolwyntjies so op te dollie dat dit so 'n ietsie van die ongewone aard daarvan weerspieel. Die lieflike volbladfoto's van elke baksel kolwyntjies sal selfs die traagste bakker aanspoor om die resepte op die proef te stel, en die nuttige wenke wat deurgaans verskyn, sal help om sukses te verseker. Daar is ook heelwat voorstelle vir alternatiewe en aanbevelings vir plaasvervangers as jy nie spesifieke drankies in die drankkabinet het nie. Met omskakeltabelle, basiese inligting oor kolwyntjies en feite oor alkohol en hoe dit in beslag en versiersuiker reageer, het jy toegang tot alles wat jy moet weet om jou eie kolwyntjies met skop te bak. Of jou gunstelingdrankie Pina Colada of blos-vonkelwyn, Mai Tai of chardonnay is, hierdie boek wil jy he - laatmiddagtee sal net nooit weer dieselfde wees nie!

Met haar unieke deegresepte kan jy nou brood, muffins, oliebolle, nachos, pizza, vetkoek en selfs koeksisters geniet, maar sonder die oortollige koolhidrate. Haar eenvoudige en fynproewermaaltye, waaronder ’n paar plaaslike gunstelinge asook gunstelinge van oor die wereld heen, sal die hele gesin laat vra na meer ... meer gesonde maaltye!

As jy op soek is na eenvoudige en sakpasresepte vir 'n laekoolhidraat-leefstyl, is die boek jou beste bondgenoot.

’n Geslag jong volwassenes het Help! Daar’s ’n Stoof in My Kombuis, Annabel Frere se eerste kookboek, leer ken, is mal daaroor en afh anklik daarvan. Dieselfde geslag het die jong beroepslui geword wat nou op ’n ietwat meer gesofistikeerde vlak moet onthaal. As skrywer het Annabel al hierdie stadiums met haar eie dogters meegemaak, en sy het weer eens smaaklike en relatief eenvoudige resepte vir geleenthede saamgestel – van onbeplande samekomste tot goedgeorganiseerde geleenthede.

Groot klem word op goeie beplanning gelê, asook kos wat vooraf berei kan word sodat die kok soveel tyd moontlik aan sy of haar gaste kan bestee, pleks daarvan om die dag in die kombuis deur te bring. Aandag word ook gegee aan tekstuur en aanbieding, met heelwat wenke en voorstelle oor moeitelose onthaal. Waar disse dalk meer ingewikkeld lyk, is Annabel uitstekend daarmee om die misterie te ontsluit. En natuurlik is geen partytjie volledig sonder die regte vloeibare begeleiding nie. Dus is daar ’n hoofstuk oor ’n verskeidenheid skemerkelkies, met en sonder alkohol.

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...

Champion of South African home-cooking, Errieda du Toit set out to write a cookbook about the food we most love to eat and the culture of sharing these recipes in community cookbooks. Intrigued by our strong attachment to these dog-eared, food-stained recipes collections, she pored over 150 titles spanning a century. SHARE is her tribute to this humble culinary source and a celebration of its collaborative spirit. It’s the first to deal specifically with the genre, and the result is a delightful, quirky and thoroughly modern homage that taps into our food memories in a unique way.

SHARE features a wide selection of recipes as generous, gracious and welcoming as the home cooks who shared them: the keepers (recipes known for their longevity), the never-fails (those epic recipes that never let you down), communal food for come-on-overs, retro classics and those defining dishes and bakes treasured as heritage food.

Bringing visual expression to Errieda’s vision, SHARE is beautifully photographed, and wittily styled and designed to further capture the character and off-beat traits of the genre.

Many South Africans are affected by insulin resistance or Type 2 diabetes, a metabolic disorder that results in high blood sugar. Diabetes sufferers often think they have to give up a variety of foods, but a combination of diet and exercise can reduce the risk of developing diabetes and help to maintain optimum blood sugar levels. A balanced diet can stabilize blood glucose levels and reduce sugar cravings, and the key is to consume appropriate daily amounts of proteins, carbohydrates and fats.

Delicious, Modern, Healthy Recipes For Diabetes offers solutions for all occasions, from breakfast and light meals to entertaining, plus ideas for desserts and baking. The uncomplicated recipes are in tune with modern food trends and meet our desire for healthy everyday meals that are easy to prepare.

SAAM is die Suid-Afrikaanse huiskoskampioen Errieda du Toit se uitsonderlike kookboek oor kos wat ons die meeste geniet en die kultuur waarmee resepte in gemeenskapsresepteboekies gedeel word.

Errieda verdiep haar in 150 boekies wat oor 100 jaar uitgegee is en vorm ’n spesiale band met die resepte op die omkrulblaaie vol kosvlekke uit dié versamelings.

In dié eiesoortige resepteboek vier Errieda ons noue verhouding met die nederige gemeenskapsboekies, die invloed daarvan op ons koskultuur en die kenmerkende gees van samewerking. SAAM is ’n genotvolle huldeblyk aan die genre wat in ’n moderne trant en effe tong-in-die-kies inspirasie in ons kosherinneringe vind. Die verskeidenheid resepte is ruimmhartig, gasvry en vol warmte soos die huiskokke wat dit oorspronklik in die boekies gedeel het – die aanhouers (langasem-resepte wat bly oorleef), die flatervryes (epiese staatmakers), kos vir oor-en-weer-kuiers en retrogunstelinge wat ons as erfeniskos koester.

Met net die regte balans tussen nostalgie, modernisering van ou resepte en boeiende vertellinge is SAAM dié boek vir huiskokke, kookboekversamelaars en almal wat nuuskierig en entoesiasties is oor Suid-Afrikaanse kos.

Tapas with Liam Tomlin is about the style of food that Liam likes to cook and the way he likes to eat, with lots of different tastes, textures and cooking styles.

After so many years in professional kitchens, Liam wanted a departure from the formal structure of restaurants with reservations, stuffy service and fixed menus that are repeated day after day. At Chefs Warehouse, he has moved away from food with too many layers, and components added simply for the sake of adding them. His way of cooking is focused on technique and on extracting as much flavour as possible to create tasty and well balanced dishes. The tapas recipes are not intimidating, only delicious. As Andy Fenner,owner of Frankie Fenner Meat Merchants says: ‘Liam has the crew do it every day. This book will show you how to do it at home.’

This second edition of Tapas with Liam Tomlin is now available to everyone as the first, self-published edition was only available at Liam’s restaurants.

Contents: This book isn’t divided into formal chapters; instead it takes the cook on a tempting and sensory-delighting meander through tapas for every occasion. There is also an extensive and educating glossary of culinary terms.
