Cape Cookery: Simple yet distinctive - A.G. Hewitt

 Cape Cookery: Simple yet distinctive - A.G. Hewitt - David Philip - 1973 - 110pp, many photographs - Hard cover with dust cover: ex-library book still in good condition.

This little book is simply what it professes to be, a collection of Cape dishes from original recipes. In the palmy days, when Indians visited the Cape Colony, Cape cookery enjoyed a reputation which it has now almost entirely lost through the competition of more pretentious French dishes. But it is believed that there are still many households which would gladly welcome a handy collection of really good old-fashioned recipes, such as were almost traditional among the better classes of Cape society in former times.
