Lekker & Goed is Carmen Niehaus se nuutste kookbook nadat sy reeds meer as twintig kookboeke uitgegee het.

Dit is ’n lekker-eet-boek met ou bekendes en nuwelinge wat gesonder gemaak is om steeds heerlik te kan eet sonder om skuldig te voel – net soos Carmen aan huis eet. LEKKER & GOED sluit ook ’n paar resepte in wat lae-koolhidrate bevat, glutenvry en vegetaries is en bevat heelwat vars en ongeprosesseerde produkte.

Carmen strewe na ’n gesonde lewenswyse en haar kookfilosofie en grootste uitdaging is daarom juis om alledaagse kos gesonder te maak sonder dat dit smaak of geur inboet. Die uitgangspunt is amper ’n tipe Mediterreense eetstyl, eerder as ’n dieetboek of ’n gesondheidshandleiding.

This second compilation in the hugely successful YOU Top 500 Recipes series contains the best recipes from the YOU kitchen from the last seven years.

With its nearly 600 recipes, the book offers 60 pages more than the first Top 500. The addition of hints and variations also adds value and turns it into an essential kitchen reference and go-to book.

This generous compilation consists of 15 chapters, which include delectable savoury and sweet pastries, baked puddings, fish and seafood, mince, meat dishes and pies. All-time classics such as Venison Pie, Griddle Cake Hamburgers, Cape Curry and Gourmet Paella are featured. For those with a sweet tooth, mouth-watering delicacies such as Red Velvet Cheesecake, Baklava and the best Carrot Cake await.

All recipes were extensively tested by the experienced YOU/Huisgenoot food team and thus carry their personal stamp of approval for faultless cooking and baking pleasure.

High-quality images combined with a contemporary layout make this a user friendly must-have for every South African kitchen. Indispensable.

The newest title in the hugely successful YOU magazine cookery series, this is the ultimate baking book: practical, user-friendly and beautifully illustrated. Its comprehensive collection contains more than 200 recipes for baking and over 30 recipes for icings and fillings, from the traditional to the new and innovative. All recipes were specially selected and tested in the YOU kitchen. Included are cakes, tarts, scones, muffins, brownies, cookies, rusks (hard biscuits), pancakes and cream puffs. Cakes baked in the microwave, low GI (glycemic index) cakes, and international favorites like panforte, stollen, bienenstich and frangipane are also included. Choose from apple and cinnamon muffins to start the day, fig and pecan ring cake for an afternoon treat or delicious polenta yogurt cake for a healthier option, and fruit and nut squares for the lunch box.
