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.

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.

The phrase ‘low carb’ has become the new buzz word, but what exactly does it mean, will it suit your and your family’s lifestyle, and will it be easy to adapt your eating habits to this way of eating?

In addition to over 100 delicious and healthy recipes for breakfast, lunch, dinner, special occasions and snack time for the whole family (including babies!), Low-carb Living for Families provides easy-to-follow, practical tips and inspiration for maintaining a healthy lifestyle.

Dr Eenfeldt is a Swedish medical doctor who specialises in family medicine. He also advocates a low-carb high-fat diet and lectures on the topic at various medical conferences all over the world.

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.

In the grand scheme of things, fruit is pivotal to health and happiness and, as a result, creates harmony in the home and world peace. Alright, that may be stretching things a bit, but you get my drift. Fruit’s first claim to fame was as an object of seduction. And nothing much has changed since Eve tempted Adam with that apple. Just as I was seduced by Malcolm Dare’s extraordinary collection of fruit-with-the-female-form photographs which triggered this unique book. Like life, the book seems to have happened while we were doing something else, as we opted for a freestyle approach to the project and didn’t box ourselves in with deadlines and time schedules. We pleased ourselves first and foremost and, accordingly, hope to please our readers. The result is an inspired melding of creativity, where freshness and immediacy are given full reign. Fruit Art promises to raise eyebrows, satisfy the senses, and thrill everyone who adores beautiful books, sexy recipes, photographs that push the creativity envelope, and edgy styling. It’s a must-have item if you love cooking (but don’t have too much time to spend doing it) or for a gift for a special friend. Either way, it’s a book that deserves to be treasured. When deciding on which fruit to select for Fruit Art, we chose the obvious varieties, ones that add a little sweetness to our menus and are happy in dishes both sweet and savoury. The recipes will see you from breakfast, through tea time, soups, salads and an array of main dishes that feature seafood, chicken, pork, lamb and beef. Not to mention a clutch of delish desserts and other after-dinner delectations. Luscious fruit begs to be eaten fresh and fast – at the peak of ripeness and without overmuch tampering by the cook. Our recipes aim to fulfil these principles: nothing too time-consuming, plates that are not over-presented, and ingredients lists that err on the side of brevity. Most importantly, the recipes respect good ingredients and their relationship with each other, and are mindful of the limited time we have to spend in the kitchen.
Die resepte in dié boek kan elke dag van die week gebruik word vir daardie een hoofmaaltyd wat ons elke dag voorberei, hetsy ons vir die gesin kook of vriende vermaak. Bord is in slegs drie hoofstukke ingedeel – Vleis, Pluimvee en Seekos – en die resepte wissel van bekende klassieke tot moderne geregte, meestal met ’n kontinentale invloed. Alles word voorberei met die skrywer se flair vir tuisgemaakte, hartlike en lekker etes. Bord is die perfekte geskenk vir diegene wat huis opsit en relatief onervare in die kombuis is, maar selfs gesoute kokke sal inspirasie in dié boek vind.

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.

Vir sjef Tiaan Langenegger was dit sedert sy kinderjare ’n droom om sy eie kookboek te hê. Vandat hy op dertienjarige ouderdom Jamie Oliver se eerste kookboek, The Naked Chef, gesien het, het hy geweet dit is wat hy ook wil doen – hy wil met kos werk en ’n “seleb” wees – dis nou voordat hy besef het wat laasgenoemde regtig behels! Na aanleiding van Tiaan se kookprogramme Tiaan onthou, Tiaan kook en Tiaan proe op kykNET en Showmax het hy baie navrae van kykers gekry oor waar hulle die resepte kan kry, en só is die idee vir sy eie kookboek gebore. Dit is geïnspireer deur sy ma en ouma se kos, en dis baie anders as wat hy jare gelede gedink het dit sou wees: Dit is meer “back to basics”. Hy deel ook resepte wat hy deur die jare geleer maak het waar hy in verskillende bekende restaurante gewerk het, waaronder Le Quartier Français op Franschhoek en Overture op Stellenbosch.
Hier’s Armand weer, sonder klere voor jou deur… Armand se eerste kookboek was ’n wegholsukses. Sy toeganklike benadering tot kos het baie mense oortuig van ’n nuwe manier van eet én leef – vars, onopgesmuk, met sakpas-bestanddele in die keto- en banting-styl. Sy boek het gewys: Van lekker eet kom gesondheid en optimale gewig. In sy nuwe boek stroop Armand sy gunstelingdisse (en homself) nog verder. Sy selfopgelegde uitdaging was om bestanddele wat reeds in sy koskas was, te gebruik. Dié kreatiewe verkennings lei tot ’n ‘van-plaas-tot-tafel’-aanslag wat wys dat die smaaklikste en gesondste kos eenvoudige kos is. Armand Kook Kaal 2 bestaan uit 50 banting- en keto-vriendelike disse. Stap-virstap, en met pragfoto’s daarby, wys Armand hoe om heerlike disse te skep uit vars bestanddele sonder om die skaal of beursie te laat ly. Voeg Armand se keto-kruierolletjies, murgpamoen-röstis, en klappermelkpanna cotta tot jou kookarsenaal toe en pluk die vrugte.
So just who is Bertus Basson? A dreamer, successful entrepreneur, braaimaster, genius, fanatic or chef extraordinaire? He is, of course, all of those things. This extraordinary cookbook, beautifully photographed by the legendary Claire Gunn, follows the success of Bertus’s first cookbook Homegrown, now almost out of print. But this one is different. In it you will feel the drive and energy of this whirlwind of a man. The book offers inspiration to those of us who sit, mouths agape, wondering just how Bertus and his remarkable wife have so successfully built multiple restaurants. It presents an inside look into these restaurants from the story of the beginnings and growth of signature restaurant Overture, to Spice Route, wildly popular with the tourist crowds, and Spek & Bone, the small-plate wine bar in Stellenbosch, through to his love affair with burgers and just how De Vrije Burger was conceptualised and brought to life. Being Bertus Basson, or BBB as this book has fondly become known, is a combination of all that makes up Bertus. There’s a bit of entrepreneurial spice; a dollop of the practical advice that makes him such a successful restaurateur. For all those who’ve eaten or who’ve dreamed of eating at one of the restaurants so beautifully photographed in the book, here’s how to do it. The recipes will surprise you with their simplicity and quirkiness, show you just how to step beyond the usual and how to look at food, South African food in particular, in a whole new light. Once you’ve read Being Bertus Basson, there’s no going back to banal food experiences.
