Anyone who longs for a beloved grandmother's famous milk tart or
melkkos, or a great aunt's delicious bobotie or vetkoek, should have
this book in his or her kitchen! Traditional South African Cooking is a
collection of well-known South African recipes that will enable the
modern cook to continue the tradition and produce the same delicious
meals that our ancestors used to enjoy.
South African cuisine is a unique blend of the culinary art of many
different cultures. Dutch, French, German and British settlers, as well
as the Malays who came from the East, all brought their own recipes to
this country. The subtle adaptation of these 'imported' recipes by the
addition of local ingredients and the introduction of innovative (at the
time) cooking methods resulted in an original and much-loved cuisine
that still sits comfortably alongside contemporary cooking.
