I've found that what most people want is simply to learn to prepare delicious and visually appealing food - the kind that will gain likes on social media - which is what inspired this cookbook.

This book was written and compiled with YOU in mind, and takes into consideration all the different occasions a South African kitchen might have to cater for. The recipes use simple ingredients that are probably already in your pantry or fridge, and if not, they’re readily available in all our favourite grocery stores.

Kobus Botha was raised in the Karoo, but this ‘boerseun’ has established himself in France. Setting up his custom-made mobile barbecue at fêtes, functions and outdoor events, he dishes up a taste of South Africa in his own unique style.

Le Braai is a collection of recipes that captures the larger-than-life spirit of this genial giant, whose personality is matched by the boldness of his dishes. Cooking over an open fire has been a way of life for as long as Kobus can remember; his dishes evoke the camaraderie that comes when friends gather around the braai.

Favourites such as pork ribs, burgers, prawns peri-peri and homemade sausage are given a touch of French flair, while brief introductions provide anecdotes as well as insight into how to turn your ‘tjop ’n wors’ into a meal with a touch of ‘ooh la la’!
