Customer Reviews
Yeah, South Africa
Just to let you know, Apartheid is still alive in South Africa. GREAT food there, though, especially what the Native Africans cook. Thanks for this great cookbook, got some great original recipes.
Baie goed, dankie.
I spent five months studying in South Africa, and I certainly miss the food! This cookbook does a great job capturing the diversity of country - it's a great buy!
A wonderfully imaginative compendium of recipes
Expertly compiled and wonderfully illustrated with watercolor drawings by Lehla Eldridge, The South African Illustrated Cookbook is a wonderfully imaginative compendium of recipes drawn from the culinary cultures of the Xhosa, Cape Malay, Zulu, English, Indian, Afrikaans, Portuguese, and new integrated South Africa. From Nontobeko's Steam Bread; Butternut Soup; Karen's Grilled Line Fish with Gourmet Smoortie; and Darling Evita's Dried Fruit Bobotie of Reconciliation; to Coconut Chicken; Jose's Pan-fried Fillets of Ostrich with Port and Cranberry Sauce; Langebaan Cinnamon Pumpkin; and Baked Pears in Red Wine; The South African Illustrated Cookbook offers mouth- watering, appetite satisfying dishes for every course of the family meal. This is a unique and highly recommended cookbook, ideal for multicultural dining clubs and ethnic cookbook collections.
