"Confessions of a Hungry Woman" began as a monthly column in Woolworths' Taste magazine and has since developed into a personal exploration of food, travel, and the culinary landscape of South Africa. Following four years of international travel and culinary exploration, author Sam Woulidge and her husband returned to their homeland, prompting a renewed focus on domestic life and, specifically, cookingan area Woulidge approached with admitted trepidation. As she explains, "I prefer enjoying a glass of wine with my guests over laboring in the kitchen with complicated recipes."

To address her culinary reservations, Woulidge sought out reliable, uncomplicated yet impressive recipes from her friends. This endeavor culminated in "Confessions of a Hungry Woman," a two-part cookbook. The first section comprises 45 previously published Taste columns, documenting Woulidge's personal journey of discovering exotic flavors, revisiting childhood favorites, and recreating the familiar aromas of home. The second section presents 14 menus, each designed for six people, contributed by Woulidge's network of food-enthusiast friends. These menus emphasize effortless yet flavorful dishes.

Featuring 45 tested recipes, "Confessions of a Hungry Woman" offers inspiration for both novice and experienced cooks. The book is enhanced by evocative photography and Woulidge's candid, witty, and often poignant narrative style.
