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 book also features interesting snippets about the early newcomer"s way of life. 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!
