Author Sarah Graham says, ‘For me, this book is about putting goodness in, and getting goodness out.

These are my favourite beautiful, simple, wholesome recipes that are made for sharing around full and merry tables.’

Aleit Apteit is ’n boek gevul met stories van die geliefde Aleit Swanepoel. Kom reis en kook saam met hom met ongeveer 50 resepte uit sy pen.

Die Sondagaand voor Aleit se afsterwe was hy volstoom aan die gang, besig om onder meer sy alombekende lamsboud gaar te maak. Die bestanddele is gekoop en die span was reg vir ’n week van kosmaak. Kom beleef saam die nostalgie, sy spesiale menswees en die heerlike kos wat hy nie net smullekker kon maak nie, maar ook mooi kon laat lyk: die ‘Aleit-Way’. Deel sy hartskos – veral sy Sondagmiddagetes in sy ouerhuis, net soos sy ma dit gemaak het. Dit was spesiaal vir hom, en hy wou dit graag oordra en met sy mense deel.

Hy het aande gesit en skryf, en dit dan baie opgewonde aan sy span gestuur en gesê: “Julle! Ek het nog ’n storie!!”

Aleit Apteit is ’n hoofstuk van sy nalatenskap en ’n manier waarop hy vir altyd in mense se hart, kombuis en lewe kan voortleef. Dit is ’n pragkookboek, maar ook een wat deel van jou kombuis se bestanddele moet uitmaak – gevul met bekende hartskos en bypassende stories geskryf deur ’n legende.

The love language of the Cape Malays is food, and author Cariema Isaacs says tramakasie (thank you) every day that she gets to express herself in this way.

Modern Cape Malay Cooking, Cariema’s fourth cookbook, is a celebration of food and feasting, providing a contemporary view of Cape Malay cuisine and simple home cooking. The recipes showcase a blend of flavours that redefine the Cape Malay palate through modern ingredients and global influences. Though traditional Cape Malay cuisine and recipes have stood the test of time, adaptations have given rise to a culinary fusion. This is especially thanks to the Cape Malay millennial generation that craves popular dishes from the East and West, such as a comforting pasta or a quick stir-fry, but with a Cape Malay twist – this means it must be spicy, it must be saucy and it must be packed with flavour!

In Modern Cape Malay Cooking, Cariema shares the recipes and influences that have inspired these modern dishes, with simple ingredients and vibrant aromatics for anyone who is curious and courageous enough to create flavour.

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'.

Lekker & Goed is Carmen Niehaus se nuutste kookbook nadat sy reeds meer as twintig kookboeke uitgegee het.

Dit is ’n lekker-eet-boek met ou bekendes en nuwelinge wat gesonder gemaak is om steeds heerlik te kan eet sonder om skuldig te voel – net soos Carmen aan huis eet. LEKKER & GOED sluit ook ’n paar resepte in wat lae-koolhidrate bevat, glutenvry en vegetaries is en bevat heelwat vars en ongeprosesseerde produkte.

Carmen strewe na ’n gesonde lewenswyse en haar kookfilosofie en grootste uitdaging is daarom juis om alledaagse kos gesonder te maak sonder dat dit smaak of geur inboet. Die uitgangspunt is amper ’n tipe Mediterreense eetstyl, eerder as ’n dieetboek of ’n gesondheidshandleiding.

Reuben Riffel shares his secrets on how to get to flavour quicker... without the fuss.

I think every chef has a dream of how they’d cook for people in an ideal world… for me my dream scenario is definitely cooking with fire. There's a happiness that goes with cooking on a fire, a freedom and festive feel to it, that is what I love about it.

This book is about flavours first, the simplicity of cooking over fire. It’s not about how to braai, the technical stuff… rather just to share my enjoyment of cooking, and to encourage you to play and experiment with cooking over fire. You don’t have to be an expert braaimaster and slave over hot coals for hours. I like to see a fire as an extension of the kitchen, using the same spices and flavourings that I enjoy cooking with inside, but cooking over a fire for the extra flavour and a touch of smoke.

The recipes in this book are the tried and tested ones that got the thumbs up from friends and family, and range from incredibly simple to more creative. You’ll find different meats and seafoods, loads of vegetables and salads… and a good helping of quick and easy snacks to keep everyone happy kuiering by the fire while you cook the main event.

When we eat al fresco – outside, beyond the confines of four walls – everyday meals become a heady combination of fresh air and flavours, of outdoor sounds and natural views. Whether that ‘outside’ is our own backyard, garden, patio or stoep, seaside caravan park, bushveld or the middle of nowhere surrounded by mountains, it makes little difference because we come away energized, nurtured and deeply satisfied. And if preparing those meals doesn’t require conventional electricity during the dreaded loadshedding, well, that’s just the cherry on the top!

In Easy Al Fresco, Ilse van der Merwe offers a simple and inspiring guide for fabulous, easy and scrumptious dishes that can all be prepared with a limited range of basic utensils, and a fire or kettle braai. As Ilse says, this should be the only book you pack for your next trail hike, fishing weekend, game reserve trip or seaside holiday. From breads, spreads, appetisers, salads and sandwiches, through to mains and desserts, Ilse has you covered.

So what are you waiting for? Light the fire, grab a whisk and turn the pages of Easy Al Fresco – you’ll never look back.
