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. Marlene van der Westhuizen More wonderful recipes from Marlene van der Westhuizen's French cooking school.

This charming memoir-cum-cookbook, written by well-known Margaret Wasserfall, former editor of SA Country Life and of SA Garden and Home, tells of the influence of her redoubtable Scottish grandmother as she grew up, not least in teaching her about food and cooking. Here Margaret brings together a collection of timeless recipes that have nourished and held together families over the generations, interspersed with her own stories and anecdotes of home life and growing up in South Africa during the 1940s and 1950s. This was a time when a 25-litre paraffin tin of crayfish cost two shillings and sixpence, and one could make frikkadels from them to stretch the household budget. It was a time when the kitchen cupboard held a collection of tins filled with homemade cakes and biscuits for the household to snack on. This period piece is illustrated with snaps from the family album and with beautiful photographs to illustrate her recipes. Not only will you find in these pages the recipes that you remember from your childhood but you will also recall a time when the way we ate and the way we marked the passing of our days was completely different from the supermarket culture of today.

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.

Marlene van der Westhuizen, celebrated author of Delectable and Sumptuous, shares her favourite recipes for long lazy lunches with friends and family in this accessible little book. There are recipes for summer lunches in the garden and winter lunches in front of the fire, a casual kitchen lunch with family or a romantic lunch on the Victorian balcony of her home. Whether you choose the mackerel and sweet potato fishcakes or the applecider glazed onion tart, your guests will be delighted. Marlene makes the romance of French cooking accessible to all South African cooks.

To keep within your budget, can be challenging in these days - especially if you like eating out. However, As Good As Eating Out ​ provides the perfect solution: make your own restaurant food at home. It's much more healthy and affordable.

In this cookbook you will find easy recipes for fast food favourites like chicken bites, fish and chips, hot dogs and boerewors rolls, pizza and pasta - and ice cream of course. And if you prefer a diet low in carbohydrates and sugar, even you are catered for. Start planning your menu: choose from soup, salads, wraps, nachos and tacos, stir fries, curries, steaks, bunny chow, lamb shanks and pork ribs to mention a few. And if you worry about basics like how to make pizza dough or pasta yourself, even these topics are catered for. End your menu with dessert, ranging from cheesecake and mousse to malva pudding and panna cotta.

You will eventually see: real restaurant can be affordable - at home.

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.

Die nuwe uitgawe van Die Demokratiese Republiek van Braai bevat 'n keur van nuwe resepte. Die indeling van die hoofstukke is aangepas, met besonderse resepte vir steak, hoender, slaai, groente, lam en meer.

Die ideale geskenk vir enige Suid-Afrikaner wat daarvan hou om vir vriende en familie oor 'n vuur te kook.

There are few things that compare to an afternoon curled up with a good book. It is even better if it is followed by a great meal shared with good friends. And the cherry on the top is when, at the end of the gathering, you have a fresh stack of books next to your bed to thrill you for the coming month. But probably the greatest scenario of all is when it was you who hosted book club and everything went smoothly: you did not kill yourself during the preparations for the evening and your guests liked your books and loved your food. I hope this book will help you towards that specific state of bliss.

The idea for this collection of recipes started with the premise that not all readers are necessarily confident cooks. Neither are some social people who want to invite a group of friends or family over for a catch-up or special celebration. This book helps you prepare a great meal for your gathering with a bit of planning and without too much stress. For this reason the emphasis is on dishes that can be prepared and often completed before the guests arrive.

‘It is your democratic right to eat properly braaied food. The Democratic Republic of Braai is wherever you gather around fires with friends and family for a celebration of the nation. Where conversations are had and stories are shared. It is a place where you never have to suffer from badly braaied food.’

This new edition of Democratic Republic of Braai features a selection of new recipes, and new organisation of recipes and a new cover to stand out on the shelves.

The ideal gift for any South African who loves to cook for friends and family over a fire.

Author Chantal Lascaris is the first to admit that she’s a messy cook, so the concept of dirtying as few dishes as possible and having a clean kitchen in the wink of an eye is really appealing. Yet when one says ‘one-dish cooking’ most people think ‘mid-week stews and casseroles’. Not so!

With this collection of almost 80 dishes, Chantal proves that cooking in one pot or pan can be exciting and dinner party worthy. And obviously, delicious. Nor are they only for dinner parties – from breakfasts, a plethora of main courses and side dishes, right through to yummy desserts, you’ll be serving memorable meals to family and friends and still have time to do the things you want to do. With a focus on seasonal, fresh and healthy options, All Sorts of One-Dish Wonders will become a favourite of home cooks who are looking for the best meals that are also low maintenance and simple to prepare, with a dash of flair.

’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.

Whether you have 15 minutes until the kids invade the kitchen or nothing in your fridge but cold pasta, pesto and Parmesan, Meals – Effortless food for every occasion will inspire you to make every meal special.
