Shiny Happy People is a cook book where Neil has spent time sampling and collecting his friend's recipes. "From wild things to hopeless romantics, to exotic imports and exceptional eccentrics, there's always a common personality trait: the love of great food and excellent company."

"This is one of, or maybe my favorite cookbook ever:
It is a joy to flip through-
-humor everywhere
-gorgeous photos of interesting food, people and settings that makes me want to invite friends over and visit Durban
-delicious simple to make recipes that feel well tested

I have made these recipes most often from it: frikadeller, potato and cucumber salad, chicken/avocado/pommegranite salad, asian coleslaw, kebab meatballs, figs and honey,
I need to still try the cherry clafouti, chocolate cheesecake and hedgehog loaf.
Oh all of it really."
