Throughout his life, C Louis Leipoldt was fascinated by the preparation of food - from his youth in Clanwilliam and the Cederberg in the 1880s until his death in Cape Town in April 1947. He is well known as the celebrated Afrikaans poet, writer, bushveld doctor, medical specialist, botanist and chef, but it is only in this trilogy of culinary works that the extent of his knowledgeable, delightful and adventurous approach to food and wine can be appreciated in English.

The many and diverse talents of this intellectual, universal man combine uniquely and perfectly under the rubric of Leipoldt's Food & Wine.
