Traditional South African Cooking

Anyone who longs for melktert (milk tart) bobotie or vetkoek, should have this title in his or her kitchen!

South African cuisine is a unique blend of the culinary art of many different cultures - the 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 in the addition of local ingredients and the introduction of innovative cooking methods have made for an original, much-loved cuisine. This title also features interesting snippets about our early South Africans' way of life.
