It was predicted that when Jan Braai’s first book, Fireworks, was released in 2012 that the book would become a staple classic in the South African cooking canon. Who could have guessed that Jan and his books would become world-renowned for braai brilliance.
With the rising popularity of that quintessential South African braai accompaniment, the humble braaibroodjie, Jan decided that it was time to focus on what is more than a cheese and tomato toastie and highlight the extraordinary meals you can braai with bread. It’s helped that the world is no longer so kak-scared of eating bread!
Find delicious chicken, beef, vegetarian and vegan braaibroodjie and burger recipes that will keep your family coming back for more!

"An important contribution to understanding our culinary journey in
Ireland from a time when food was regarded merely as sustenance. As
a nation, we have grown in confidence. Up to relatively recently in
Ireland, we had a serious inferiority complex and not just about
our food and food culture. Brian documents through various prisms
the growing pride in our tradition, the quality of our produce and
the growing skills of our chefs. At last, we appreciate what we
have here in Ireland and serve our Irish food proudly." (Darina
Allen, Ballymaloe Cookery School) Through concepts such as place
and story, this work considers the cultural importance of the foods
we eat and the drinks we imbibe in Irish society. While providing
us with the necessary sustenance to survive, they also have
something to say in terms of how we relate to each other and the
world around us. The book examines the products we associate with
gastronomy in Ireland and the uniquely Irish places in which they
are consumed. Places considered include the Irish pub, the
traditional Irish butcher shop and the Irish whiskey distillery.
Both products and places are explored through the lens of terroir,
experience and the impact of Third Place and Fourth Space
paradigms. Though much of what is discussed here is anchored in the
past, the book also examines how that past has impacted on more
contemporary phenomena such as Irish cafe culture and social
gastronomy. While the work is primarily focused on Ireland, it
draws insights from lessons learned in countries like France that
possess a widely renowned gastronomic legacy. In addition to the
obvious food connections, the chapters in this work are all linked
by a common thread of personal engagement that stems from a
lifetime spent working in and around the food and drink sector.
'What a beautiful, rich, poetic memoir this is. Phyllis writes of
longing, suffering, family, and food with such delicate power. Like
the best chefs, she knows how to make a masterpiece from a few
simple ingredients: truth, poignancy, and love. A wonderful book.'
Elizabeth Gilbert, author of 10 million copy bestseller Eat, Pray,
Love Bake. I bake for others. Belgian waffles, French toast,
crepes, chocolate chip cookies. When I cook, I am calm, I am
confident. There is comfort in the logic. Chef and award-winning
writer Phyllis Grant's life has been defined by food. First, as a
dancer struggling to find her place at Julliard, when banana
muffins with inch-thick streusel are the fuel for another day of
training. Then, a lowly junior chef in high-pressure NYC four-star
kitchens, as she masters the tarte Tatin and ice cream custard.
Falling in love with her future husband and the garlicky tomato
sauce he makes in his bare apartment. The quesadillas she can't
stop eating in LA before she realises she's pregnant. These are the
recipes that have accompanied Phyllis throughout the smooth and
jagged stages of her life as she navigates the highs and lows of
young adulthood, being a mother, and a career in the kitchen.
Written with the transparency of a diarist and including
tried-and-true recipes from her chef's table, Everything Is Under
Control is a raw and riveting story about food, family, love and
loss.

To eat wild foods, you needn't crawl through the forest or hunt
your own game. Many wild foods are as close by as your local
supermarket. But this doesn't mean that wild foods aren't worth the
hunt. This book takes a big view of wild," including recipes and
information on both foraged, uncultivated foods as well as looking
at the progeny of wild foods more conveniently found for sale
alongside their conventional cousins. Americans are increasingly
concerned about where their food comes from and how it's produced,
packaged, and marketed. Heritage breeds, Paleo diets, farmers'
markets, and environmental and climate concerns all point to
increased interest in foods that are as natural, untreated, and
healthy as they can be. Plants, seafood, meat, and poultry are all
covered in more than 150 recipes, and will serve as a historical,
agricultural education for your kitchen.
The Sunday Times Bestseller, and the biggest memoir of the year,
from Britain's best loved food writer. TOAST is Nigel Slater's
truly extraordinary story of a childhood remembered through food.
Whether relating his mother's ritual burning of the toast, his
father's dreaded Boxing Day stew or such culinary highlights of the
day as Arctic Roll and Grilled Grapefruit (then considered
somehting of a status symbol in Wolverhampton) this remarkable
memoir vividly recreates daily life in sixties surburban
England.;His mother was a chops-and-peas sort of cook, exasperated
by the highs and lows of a temperamental AGA, a finicky little son
and the asthma that was to prove fatal. His father was a
honey-and-crumpets man who could occasionally go off 'crack' like a
gun. When Nigel's widowed father takes on a housekeeper with social
aspirations and a talent in the kitchen, the following years become
a heartbreaking cooking contest for his father's affections. But as
he slowly loses the battle, Nigel finds a new outlet for his
culinary talents, and we witness the birth of what was to become a
lifelong passion for food. Nigel's likes and dislikes, aversions
and sweet-toothed weaknesses form a fasc
In 1975 the last surviving Clyde Puffer was found derelict in
Whitby Harbour. It was lovingly restored and now plies up and down
the West Coast of Scotland throughout the summer every year,
carrying thousands of passengers on an idyllic cruise through some
of the finest scenery on earth. Part of the experience which has
drawn Puffer enthusiasts back again and again are the delicious
meals prepared for them in the tiny galley, which has no
electricity but limitless supplies of boiling water as befits a
steam vessel! Mandy Hamilton and David Hawson have had the inspired
idea of combining the wonderfully varied recipes that have been
cooked on board over the years with stunning photography of
unforgettable land and seascapes, and with David's exuberant
paintings of food, fish, flowers, fauna and the wonderful Puffer
itself. The result is a unique cookbook that captures the magic of
the Clyde and the Hebrides. Lovers of Scotland, anyone who enjoys
cooking and the Puffer's innumerable fans will treasure it as the
perfect souvenir of happy summer days.
