Evita – bekroonde sjef en ikoon van die nasie – bring vir jou die heerlikste disse van haar omswerwinge deur gans Suid-Afrika en die wye wêreld.

Van die Kaap tot in Limpopo, van die Weskus tot daar waar die President vandaan kom, rol die borde in vol kwartels en tarentaalsvleis met pruimedante. Kweperbredie en lemoeneend. Pofadders, beesstert en soetsuur vlakvark. Sy maak ou geregte nuut, en berei veldkos fyn – wie het kon dink aan waterblommetjiehoender of botterblomslaai vir die eetkamertafel?

Iedere resep getoets en gekeur, almal verspot maklik om te maak. Goeiste, net om haar boek te lees of deur te blaai is al ’n smakkende ervaring, met al die prente van ons vriendin op al die plekke waar sy was.

Eers was dit Kossie Sikelela, nou Bossie – ’n nuwe kou-front tref jou tafel.

Evita – acclaimed chef and icon of the nation – presents her recipes for delicious dishes gathered on travels in South Africa and around the world.

From the Cape to Limpopo, the West Coast to our president’s home province, come divine platefuls: guineafowl with prunes, potroasted quail, quince bredie and orange duck. Pofadders, oxtail and even sweet and sour warthog. Evita reinvents old favourites, and deliciously prepares veldkos – who would have thought of waterblommetjie chicken or dandelion salad for the dinner table? Each recipe has been tested and vetted, and they’re all ridiculously easy to make. My liewe aarde, just paging through the book is a mouth-watering experience, with all these pictures taken on her visits.

First there was Kossie Sikelela, now there is Bossie. A new culinary front hits your table!
