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.

With this book the author tempts you to make scrumptious cakes with gourmet flavours for everyday dessert.

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.

Samesyn is ’n uitnodiging om hartlik te leef en gesellig te wees; om weer opnuut die mooi in die alledaagse raak te sien, om mense by jou tafel te ontvang met ’n oop hart. Dit is nie net ’n resepteboek nie, maar ’n viering van tuiskoms en warmte – ’n versameling eenvoudige geheime wat ’n huis in ’n tuiste omskep.

Van oggendlig op die stoep en middagmaal onder bome, tot vuurwarm kuiers voor die kaggel en sielskos teen sonsonder in die Karoo – hierdie bladsye dra die ritme van saamwees: die rustige kom sit, die luister, die deel.

Tussen die resepte leef vyf hartsafdelings – Huislikheid, Tafelstories, Blommekuns, Gasvryheid en Feesviering – wat jou aanmoedig om jou huis met sorg te vorm, jou tafel met bewustheid te dek, jou hart opreg te gee en jou dae met herinnering te vul. Hier word die alledaagse weer besonders, en die kleinste gebaar die hartklop van liefde.

Vir diegene wat Trouvrou liefgehad het, is hierdie boek die voortgaande verhaal – ’n verdieping van hart, tafel en huis. Hier word brood gebreek en stories tydsaam gedeel; stilte en lag word ewe welkom geheet. Mag hierdie boek ’n warm lig laat brand in jou kombuis, jou eetkamer en jou binnekamer; mag die herinneringe jou hart verwarm en mag dit gewone dae laat ontvou met beloftes vol mooi.

Want waar brood gedeel word, word ons weer gevind en saamgebind – in samesyn.

Met sy 312 volkleurbladsye in ’n ruim 28 cm x 21 cm sagtebandformaat, bevat Samesyn 109 resepte en meer as 150 pragtige volkleurfoto’s wat elke bladsy tot lewe bring.

Interaktiewe QR-kodes neem jou verder as die bladsye en lei jou na video’s wat inspirasie en praktiese leiding bied.

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.
