West Coast Cookbook

Bergrivier Vissersvrouevereniging. Softcover with flaps. English. First edition. Struik Publishers, 2003. Secondhand and in good condition. 143 pages. For many generations, the people of South Africas Cape West Coast have been a fishing community but, following the rise of commercialisation, they are now confronted with the end of that tradition. The West Coast lifestyle has changed irrevocably, but to preserve one aspect of their tradition, the Bergrivier Vissersvrouevereniging, under the guidance of Ina Paarman, presents the West Coast Cookbook. Some of the recipes in the collection are very old and were born out of hardship and ingenuity often occasioned by the challenge of the sea. Included are memorable seafood dishes, delicious braai and meat recipes, soups that make you long for times past, and items for your pantry because West Coast people understand the need to plan ahead for difficult times. This unique cookbook allows you an intimate glimpse into the lives of the families of the West Coast, as they see themselves.
