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.

Reuben Riffel, 'n 34-jarige Suid-Afrikaanse sensasie, het in die nederige Groendal grootgeword en is tans een van die land se beste sjefs. Sy restaurant, Reuben's, le in die hartjie van Suid-Afrikaanse wynland, Franschhoek, 'n pragtige dorp wat vinnig bekendheid verwerf as een van die wereld se voorste kos- en wynbestemmings.

As a parent and a teacher, Monique le Roux Forslund has first-hand experience of the effect food has on children. She has seen how sugar and other fast-acting carbohydrates can cause them to become over-active and struggle with concentration. In Healthy Food For A Healthy Baby she shows you how to give your baby a healthy and nourishing start to life.

In addition to the more than 100 easy recipes appropriate for babies aged six to 18 months, there are tips about natural good food to ensure that your child maintains all-round good health. Although this is not a ‘low carb high fat’ recipe book, the recipes do not include wheat fl our and sugar.

In addition, there is information on encouraging your child to develop mealtime independence – aka baby-led weaning (BLW) – much sooner than you’d expect.

A collection of vegan recipes from Greyton Animal Sanctuary volunteers compiled by Rima Geffen. A part of the proceeds will be donated to continue the care of the animals.

Just 7 kms outside the village of Greyton in the Western Cape, hides a 40-hectare private animal sanctuary. Greyton Farm has been a leading non-profit animal haven since its founding in 2014 by Nicola Vernon and Rohan Milson. Under their care, Greyton has grown to embrace unique animals and people alike. International volunteers have always flocked to Greyton for this same reason, and so this beautifully curated collection of recipes was born.

The team has been consistently passionate about the quality of life of those on their farms, from not-so-micro pigs, injured dogs and cats, peacocks, sheep, and all sorts of livestock. Around 200 animals have found their way to Greyton in a variety of ways including reported abuse, or simply wandering injured onto the property all by themselves. Greyton Farm Animal Sanctuary continues to connect people across the globe and nourish volunteers with good food and life-changing experiences. Personal recipes from 10 countries across the world add up to a truly unique dinner table experience.

Prim Reddy and Niranj Pather are South Africans of Indian origin who embrace the diverse culinary offering of cosmopolitan South Africa.

Temptations is a reflection of their philosophy, a cookbook encompassing various cultures and featuring heritage recipes passed down through generations, as well as dishes experienced on their travels. To these they have added their own flair and the resulting flavours are incredible. The array of recipes will transport you from local Indian cuisine and exotic offerings from the sub-continent, through local braaivleis (barbecue) and salads, to Italian, Spanish, Greek, Portuguese and African flavours.

Every recipe has a story. Best of all, these are meals that are quick and easy but that will make a home chef feel like a million bucks. They exude laughter and happiness, sharing and celebration.

Niranj and Prim’s motto is that food isn’t just about sustenance; it’s about the experience, irrespective of how simple the offering may be.

My Cape Malay Kitchen is Cariema Isaacs’s heartfelt and poignant account of the extraordinary relationship between herself and her father and how that was reflected in their shared passion for food and cooking.

She recollects all of the dishes they cooked and ate together, and shares her childhood memories of growing up in Bo-Kaap (the Cape Malay Quarter in Cape Town), lending insight into the culture, religious ceremonies and family events that have shaped the Cape Malay community into what itis today. But My Cape Malay Kitchen is also a book about flavourful food, richly spiced curries, indulgent cakes and decadent desserts.

Cariema's refreshing approach to food showcases many of the much-loved Cape Malay vintage recipes as well as a selection of modern dishes, and is ideal for anyone who needs a little inspiration in the kitchen.

Combining Mediterranean simplicity with a dash of nostalgia, West Coast Wander is the definitive guide to sustainable seaside fare and a valuable addition to any South African kitchen.

Exploring this iconic coastline and the people that call it home, West Coast Wander takes readers – travellers and home cooks alike – on a culinary caper from Yzerfontein to Doringbaai, documenting each delicious detour along the way.

From heerboontjies to harders, the book encapsulates recipes both well known and newly discovered. Using a natural and unfussy approach to cooking, author Georgia East highlights the unique ingredients, both cultivated and naturally occurring, along this coastline, transforming them into dishes filled with local flavour.

Seeking out the best place to buy bread in Hopefield, discovering what sets a Sandveld Sauvignon Blanc apart and learning how the plumpest oysters in the country are farmed in Saldanha Bay are just a few of the topics covered.

Zola Nene has become quite a force on the South African culinary scene, yet her personal quest to show people that cooking great food needn’t be pretentious or difficult continues in her new book.

Simply Delicious was a triumph and now, as Zola says herself, ‘My food journey is ever evolving and is a continuation of my life journey told through food,’ and so Simply Zola is the mouth-watering result.

The dishes (and drinks) are simple to prepare and each is a taste sensation. Zola doesn’t do bland or shy, so prepare to be swept away by the likes of Barley, grape and pecan nut salad, Prawn, lemon and chilli linguini, Cola-braised beef short ribs, and Rocky road waffles with salted caramel sauce. For those of you always complaining that it’s impossible to cook properly for one, there’s a chapter devoted just to that, while the lazy among you will be cheered by a chapter of one-pot dishes. There’s even a chapter for those who want taste without the gluten.

’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.

Low Carb Is Lekker is the brainchild of Inè Reynierse, who embarked on a mission to make the benefits of a low-carb lifestyle an achievable, budget-friendly reality for her friends and family. Her ‘decarbed’ versions of South Africa’s most popular and well-loved recipes soon caught the attention of various social networks and the growing need for a basic Low carb is lekker recipe collection.

There are easy low-carb, wheat-free and sugar-free alternatives to some all time family favourites (think bobotie, mac ’n cheese and curry and ‘rice’), quick comfort foods (gnocchi and chicken pie) as well as decadent treats (malva pudding, chocolate brownies and milk tart spring to mind).

Written by a mom for moms who want to feed their loved ones back to health, Low Carb Is Lekker is also a celebration for fellow South Africans who love the tastes of home without compromising health and wellness.

An African Bite celebrates the simplicity and authenticity of African food for a contemporary cook.

Chef Mbombi has a deep connection to his culture, yet he is also a modern man living an urban lifestyle. Recognising that if we don’t keep cooking ‘heritage’ dishes, there is a risk of them being lost forever, he set out to create a cookbook that celebrates the food he was raised on.

Traditionally, cooking skills were passed from mother to daughter and there were no written recipes or YouTube videos to refer to. Nowadays, social media can overwhelm us with too many choices and it is hard to know who to trust. An African Bite is Chef Mbombi’s tribute to the women who taught him to cook – from his mother and grandmother to the high-school economics teacher who made him realise that he could turn his passion into a career.

His uncomplicated, straightforward recipes will encourage even hesitant cooks to attempt dishes like curried tripe, chicken gizzards, goat meat stew, amathambo (meaty beef bones) umleqwa, shisanyama, vegetable sides like imifino (leafy greens) and muboora (pumpkin leaves), and traditional drinks like umqombothi and amahewu.

This is not a cookbook. It's a book about cooking. Think of it as cooking between the lines. Or what your mother should have told you.

Yes, there are recipes, but this book is about the journey, not the destination, so taking centre stage are the hows and whys behind everyday ingredients and techniques:

• when to use coarse or finely ground salt
• best pairings for common garden herbs
• extracting and building flavour
• champion chopping techniques
• foolproof fillet
• spud's lore and more...

  Whereas lessons on technique are found mostly in hefty culinary bibles, this user-friendly book is for everyone who's anywhere along the cookery continuum. It is the "ta-da" moment for those who have been cooking, duty bound, for years, but didn't show up for basics training.

When it comes to preparing a quick meal, if I really want to please myself or someone else, it will be the plate of my life, literally three ingredients — pasta, olive oil and truffles. Simple to put together to impress. The flavours tick all my boxes.

When I first thought to compile this book of recipes, I was concerned by the possibly ambiguous relationship between tradition and contemporary ways of cooking being presented together, all in one place. There was a chance that it was not going to work. Some of my own recipes turn tradition on its head, but now that I see them all together here, I trust that you will find a wonderful balance of nostalgic food stories influenced by my mother and grandmother alongside my recipes of indulgent contemporary cooking that stem from my love for trying new things inspired by years of travel. These, I hope, will allow you to explore different cultures, ingredients and recipes in your own home by switching things around in the kitchen.

What you will find on these pages are recipes that provide a wonderful contrast in both origin and style, you will be invited to experience my family’s rituals of goat slaughtering and pot bread by the fire, the ancestral food from the soil and woven in between is my own epicurean culinary journey.

Anyone who longs for a beloved grandmother’s famous milk tart or melkkos, or a great aunt’s delicious bobotie or vetkoek, should have this book in his or her kitchen!

Traditional South African Cooking is a collection of well-known South African recipes that will enable the modern cook to continue the tradition and produce the same delicious meals that our ancestors used to enjoy.

South African cuisine is a unique blend of the culinary art of many different cultures. Dutch, French, German and British settlers, as well as the Malays who came from the East, all brought their own recipes to this country. The subtle adaptation of these ‘imported’ recipes by the addition of local ingredients and the introduction of innovative (at the time) cooking methods resulted in an original and much-loved cuisine, that still sits comfortably alongside contemporary cooking.

In Zola Nene’s own words, she says, "Food has always been a huge part of my life; important occasions were always marked with a feast of some sort … this book chronicles my food journey thus far – how it started and what has shaped me into the chef I am today."

And that’s exactly what Simply Delicious is all about; it’s Zola’s culinary career told through her recipes, interspersed with snippets and perspectives of her life journey, including tributes to the people who have inspired and infl uenced her cooking style and explaining the reason for certain culinary choices that she has made. If one had to describe Zola’s personality in a single idea, it would be ‘irrepressible joy’, which is the thread running through this journey as well as the state evoked by her delicious dishes. Her food philosophy is very simple – cooking is for everyone.

With easy-to-follow instructions, the recipes will ensure that anyone can produce mouthwatering results.
