Kamini Pather first exploded onto the South African culinary scene as a
participant and winner of the second series of MasterChef South Africa.
Since then her life and cuisine journey has taken her down various
paths, and although she always remains grounded and grateful to her
heritage, she is not solely defined by it. As Kamini herself says, ‘All
Dhal’d Up is a collection of ancestrally-derived recipes that have been
updated through ingredients and techniques –the old world has been
given some fancy.’ The concept of good-mood food leans gently into
health, while ‘Indian-ish’ is a perfect nod to her ancestry, but fused
with other cultures and their influence on the food she likes to eat.
So although you will find traditional recipes, such as potato curry
with nigella seeds, hot water roti and rasam, as well as the
Sunday-standard meal of chicken curry, they are flanked by the delights
of cauliflower rice lamb biriyani, panko-crumbed patha wraps, bacon
dhal, pudhina hummus and rosewater ice-cream sandwiches with pistachio
cookies.
All the recipes require minimum effort and only a few ingredients, allowing you to create quick midweek dinners or weekend meals, without compromising on flavour. There are appetisers and snacks (such as mini pizzas, vegetarian quesadillas, chicken nuggets), mains (roast chicken with lemon, fish tacos), one-pot meals (pea and basil risotto, chilli con carne, lentil dhal) and desserts (apple granola, strawberry muffins, chocolate bananas). Each recipe is accompanied by a photograph and all the ingredients are photographed too, making this Super-Easy Air-Fryer Recipes the ultimate foolproof cookbook for your air fryer.

Eating well should be one of life’s pleasures but, for many people, this is not the case. Struggles with weight, nutrition-related health issues and low self-esteem can result in food being condemned as an ‘enemy’, to be conquered at all cost. Nicci Robertson understands, and she uses her personal experience to guide readers towards improved health and wellbeing by taking a different approach to nutrition. In Thrive, she explains how to exchange bad habits for better ones, recognise and eliminate stress factors that can contribute to lifestyle diseases, and understand the role that proteins, carbs, fats, fibre and water play in keeping us healthy. She also unpacks some common nutrition facts and myths. Her message is clear throughout: when you eat the right foods in the right quantities, your body will respond positively and you will thrive both physically and mentally. The book includes over 80 mouthwatering family-friendly recipes that are packed with flavour and nutritionally balanced. Whether your goal is weight-loss or improved health, Nicci’s recipes will have you rethinking the concept of ‘diet food’ and heading for the kitchen with enthusiasm!
Sinoyolo Sifo is a husband that cooks. His goal: to break the gender stereotypes that surround male figures in the kitchen and encourage more men to cook. As he says, the kitchen is no longer the domain of women only, and men need to get more comfortable in the kitchen, so they can share equally in the responsibilities of day-to-day life and its demands. Using what he calls ‘the universal language of food’, Sifo: The Cooking Husband is an invitation to readers – men and women alike – to share in the joy of making memories through food. Inspired by the nostalgia of home and family, this book brings together a selection of almost 70 recipes, each one simple and accessible, wholesome and delicious. There are scrumptious breakfasts, indulgent pasta dishes, hearty stews, quick lunches, impressive dinners, decadent desserts, as well as traditional South African dishes and some childhood favourites. Whether you are a newbie cook still finding your way around the kitchen, or more confident in your culinary abilities, these recipes are sure to satisfy the foodie in you.
With this book the author tempts you to make scrumptious cakes with gourmet flavours for everyday dessert. Most of the cakes have traditional dessert flavours and will be ideal to serve as an after-dinner treat or even for afternoon tea. The cake, filling and coating recipes can be mixed and matched to create a different taste combination every time you bake. The book features 25 dessert cake projects from start to finish, showing you step by step how to create your own mouth-watering desserts. Also included are accompanying cupcakes for each recipe should you prefer a mini version served in individual portions. Everything can be made days or weeks in advance and kept refrigerated or frozen so that you have plenty of time to assemble the final product. There are also guidelines for increasing the recipes to suit specific needs, with lots of tips to help you create your own masterpiece.
TIME magazine pinpointed 24 November 2010 as the day ‘Woodstock officially became Cape Town’s hottest district… when Luke Dale-Roberts opened The Test Kitchen there.’ Opening a fine-dining restaurant in a warehouse space in the Old Biscuit Mill was a gamble, but after a four-year tenure as executive chef of LaColombe, which culminated in an amazing 12th place on the S. Pellegrino World’s 50 Best Restaurants list, Luke was up to the challenge. The Test Kitchen, as the name implies, afforded the dynamic chef the opportunity to innovate, and the resultant dishes were a reflection of his creativity with flavours and ingredients. His vision eventually expanded beyond the food to encompass the whole dining experience – and the world loved it. Heralded as a founding pillar of the vibrant South African fine-dining landscape, The Test Kitchen operated for eleven years, won numerous local and international awards, and moulded the careers of many talented chefs, leaving an incredible and lasting legacy. In The Test Kitchen, Luke celebrates this legacy and shares his story, as well as some of the restaurant’s most beloved and iconic recipes. With a foreword by Heston Blumenthal and incredible colour photographs throughout, The Test Kitchen is a stunning visual keepsake as flavourful as Luke’s spectacular dishes.

Tandoori Home Cooking is an approachable, vibrant and flavorful celebration of Indian Tandoori cooking. Cooking in a tandoor (clay oven) is a technique that dates back to the Bronze Age, and traditionally has always been about bringing the flavor from the clay oven to the vegetables, meats and fresh breads cooked in it. Communal kitchens have centred around the Tandoor for generations across the northern frontier of India, making their way through the Indian subcontinent, and always providing warmth, good food and flavor. In Tandoori Home Cooking, Maunika Gowardhan, bestselling author of Thali, takes you on a tour to share an explosion of tandoori flavors, spices, recipes and culinary heritage found across the streets and restaurants of India, with dishes that can be made in conventional ovens and grills in your home all year round. From Aslam Butter Chicken and Zafrani Paneer Tikka, along with Apple, Beet and Mooli Salad and Garlic and Ghee Naan, to Mango and Pistachio Kulfi and Jal Jeera, there is a dynamic selection of classic recipes, all of which can easily be created at home. With meal planners to guide you on what dishes can be paired together, Tandoori Home Cooking arms home cooks with everything you need to bring tandoori cooking into your own home.
