This book is a fantastic guide, developed especially for SA chefs and foodies – described as the complete kitchen companion with more than 1 000 entries and 1 500 recipes.

The book is easily laid out in alphabetical order and is pretty easy to navigate – sections, just like the ingredients they cover, are diverse – hopping from Baked Alaska to Baklava to Bamboo Shoots. The ingredients, their descriptions and the accompanying recipes are all incredibly familiar to the South African cook and easy to access.
