Terroir - Cookbook

Terroir is one of the Cape Winelands' most acclaimed restaurants. It is located on the beautiful, family-owned Kleine Zalze wine farm in Stellenbosch where its oak tree-shaded setting is ideal for enjoying an elegant and refined, yet leisurely meal.

The chalkboard menu reflects Chef Michael Broughton's ethos: what you leave off the plate is just as important as what you put on it.

His deceptively 'simple' dishes using quality, seasonal ingredients of local, traceable, and ethical provenance are a sublime marriage of texture and colour, characterised by bold, punchy flavours that remain true to the original ingredients.

Terroir The Cookbook is a culmination of Michael's techniques and skills that he has acquired over the years, a collection of recipes that are authentic and true to the Terroir style, much of which is grounded in the French classics and, by default, technically challenging.

However, this is not a book for chefs only, but rather for those who want to stretch themselves creatively and technically in the kitchen.
