The Cookbooks of Home

Descrizione
Our August List of the Month is dedicated to cookbooks that reflect the cuisine of each member's home country or region. Whether home signifies the place where one was born and raised, or the place where one now lives, is left for the member to decide.

hfglen: The classic Durban Indian book, as found in the trousseau of all local Indian brides. The recipes work, but illustrations are, in the 21st century, a bit sparse.

hfglen: Classic Cape Malay food; the recipes work and are beautifully illustrated. There are also delightful stories of life in Bo-Kaap. The author has written at least one other that would be worth looking out.

hfglen: South African outdoor cookery and humour. The recipes are several cuts above the usual meat-incinerated-outside-and-raw-inside that characterises "National Braai Day"every 24 September. He has written others that are worth searching out.

hfglen: Leipoldt was a medic, poet, botanist and cordon-bleu chef. Fascinating reading, and you might get there in the end with his recipes, but they are discursive!
