‘This is more than just a cookbook; it is a celebration of culinary creativity and a testament to Ollie’s exceptional talent and zest for life.’ – Ivor Jones, head chef at Chefs Warehouse BeauConstantia.

There’s one thing that Chef Ollie doesn’t do easily and that’s follow rules. He likes to challengeconvention and try new things, often at the spur of the moment. This attitude to life hasfiltered into his cooking style, which he enthusiastically shares with you in this aptly titled book, Freestyle Cooking with Chef Ollie.

Ollie cooks with feeling and taste. His recipes are quick and easy, and designed to inspire rather than intimidate. With this book, he aims to show home cooks that just by using the bestand simplest ingredients, you can create dishes that scream with flavour. Whether he’s making you sweat with his Hot and Sour Prego Roll or transporting you to Indonesia with his Sambal Matah Fish en Papillote, Ollie proves that the secret to exceptional dishes lies in the layering of flavour and understanding the basics of cooking.

Each of the six chapters in Freestyle Cooking with Chef Ollie represents a distinct part of Ollie’slife and is accompanied by a lesson he’s learned along the way, as well as a QR code to a playlist of songs that all form part of the culinary adventure.

With recipes ranging from Proper Durban Lamb Curry, Banging Lamb Chops and Rooibos Honey Basque Cheesecake to 30 Clove Garlic Chardonnay Chicken, the Double Oklahoma Smash Burger and Banana Dom Pedros, Ollie reminds us that cooking is meant to be fun.

So put on your tunes, pour yourself a glass of wine and enjoy!

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.

Ever mindful of the demands of busy lives and consciences, Kamini has ensured that the recipes are simple to follow, and are mindful of healthy ideals and sustainably sourced ingredients.
