“Boere chic” – the judges' description of the food style of Nicky, winner of the 2012 Top Ten Home Cooks competition. This book offers a collection of delectable recipes in Nicky’s own individual style; producing scrumptious food ideal for entertaining but also perfect for the family. Each dish, from the truly traditional to delightfully modern, displays Nicky’s special touch, surprising ingredients and distinctive presentation, all of which contribute to keeping the book fresh and enticing. The recipes have been well and truly tested; they are served to family and friends for their opinion and, time after time, pass the test with flying colours. Magnificent colour photographs of nearly every dish will inspire readers to immediately try the recipes for themselves. And interspersed between the recipes are photographs of the farm in Pongola, where the writer lives, that tell more about that beautiful area and make the reader feel like an extra-special guest. Everything – from appetisers to divine desserts – is absolutely delicious, and all the old favourites are there; sometimes with a bit of a twist.

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.
