Cooking Lekka takes the reader on a heartfelt journey through Cape Malay and Indian fusion cooking, largely inspired by Thameenah's popular cooking show "Ja Daddy Kan Lekka Eet".

Growing up in a richly multicultural family, Thameenah brings soulful recipes that connect generations and cultures, blending spices and flavours that speak to the vibrant heritage of South Africa.

From her early cooking days inspired by her mom's Indian roots to her love for Cape Malay flavours, each recipe in this book is crafted to be approachable and full of flavour, perfect for anyone looking to bring warmth and joy to the table.

Beloved South African blogger & TikTok sensation Kim Bagley takes us on a culinary journey as she shares some of her family's favourite meals. Kim believes that food should be simple and comforting, but the flavours should be bold and memorable. In Cooking with Kim Bagley, she showcases her love for cooking in easy, heartwarming meals. Think spicy lamb biryani, seafood chowder, and Amarula tart. Indulging in comfort, spice and all things nice, Kim's South African fusion food will warm your soul.

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.

Veganism is a growing phenomenon on the culinary scene. The South African Vegan Cookbook is the first of its kind locally.

In it you will find everything you need for a vegan lifestyle: from basic information such as the definition of veganism, why it’s good for you, answers to common questions, the essential equipment, vegan alternatives for everyday products, the pantry essentials and resources to learn more. The family-friendly recipes are easy to make and are made from locally-sourced products. This cookbook includes recipes for breakfast, snacks, lunch, tea time, the braai, entertaining and late-nights feasts.

Think decadent chocolate granola and overnight oats, kale chips and cauliflower bites, easy-to-make couscous salad, lasagne and stir-fry as well as South African favourites like milk tart, banana loaf, macaroni-and-cheese and chicken burgers. And to top it all: chocolate mousse, date balls and truffles.

The air fryer is a versatile kitchen gadget that has grown in popularity over the last few years. Essentially it is a small countertop convection oven that cooks food quickly and efficiently. While many people only use their air fryers to cook pre-prepared food like crumbed chicken, or frozen fish or chips, it can actually be used to prepare many tasty dishes, even for baking!

In The South African Air Fryer Cookbook, we focus on all things local, with favourites such as malva pudding, bobotie, apricot snoek with sweet potato, milk tart, and boerewors with chakalaka, all prepared in the air fryer.

You’re sure to find your most cherished South African dish in this fabulous collection of recipes.

Topverkoperskrywer Louisa Holst weet wat die lugbraaiermark wil hê en het weer plaaslike geure na vore gebring!

Peri-peri-hoenderpastei, gammon (ja – dit kan in die lugbraaier gedoen word), gebraaide lam, karringmelkbeskuit, pavlova en mini-vrugtekoeke is nog meer van die watertand geregte in die boek.

This is comfort food, Ottolenghi-style.

In his much-anticipated new book, Yotam Ottolenghi brings his inspiring, flavour-forward approach to comfort cooking, delivering new classics that taste of home.

A bowl of pasta becomes Caramelised Onion Orecchiette with Hazelnuts & Crispy Sage, a warming soup is Cheesy Bread Soup with Savoy Cabbage & Cavolo Nero, and a plate of mash is transformed into Garlicky Aligot Potato with Leeks & Thyme.

Weaving memories of childhood and travel with over 100 irresistible recipes, Ottolenghi COMFORT is a celebration of food and home – of the connections we make as we cook, and pass on from generation to generation.

Food and memory are inextricably linked; flavours and dishes evoke emotion, rooted in nostalgia or specific experiences. The Hungry Table embodies this idea. For Fatima Saib, food exists as a backdrop to her childhood memories, intertwined with her precious relationship with her late father. Derived from this culinary inspiration, the book expertly weaves story and memory through a journey of over 90 contemporary recipes, most with a nod to the author’s South African-Indian heritage.

With this in mind, the book is divided into five chapters, each one tapping into a feeling. The Basics offers an array of chutneys, sauces, pickles and flavour-enhancers to round off any dish. Togetherness is an ode to food that is best shared among friends and family, like hot honey fried chicken and fragrantly layered biryanis. Comfort covers those recipes that warm the body and soul from the inside out, like dhal and rasmalai. From Fast, expect deliciously quick-and-easy dishes like chilli crunch toasted cheese or yoghurt and cardamom potato curry. And for those slower days, when time is best used to explore and enjoy, look to Relaxed, for dishes like parathas, sticky BBQ lamb ribs or creamy cabbage and corn bake.

The Hungry Table ignites the senses, telling a story of time and place, reminding readers to slow down and enjoy food and the way it makes us feel. It is an invitation into the kitchen, to enjoy the catharsis of cooking and the dishes that result, and, perhaps most importantly, to be nourished by the memories created in the process.
