This book will be your inspiration to be adventurous, to extend your cooking repertoire & to be more ecologically aware. Based on the popular TV series on BBC Food, Cooked, this unique compilation of places, spaces & flavours combines chef Justin Bonello's three favourite things
- Southern Africa, food & friends. Bonello is passionate about ensuring that Africa's diverse food cultures are recorded & celebrated so that future generations will be able to savour the culinary pleasures we enjoy today. His love affair with cooking & wide-open spaces began with weekends & school holidays spent in the great outdoors either on the Breede River or on the Wild Coast. He learnt to embrace the land & all that it has to offer without taking from it anything that nature can't replenish. Bonello believes that the beauty of travel & cooking can be found in searching for fresh produce, making new friends & discovering foods you didn't even know existed. Once you've learned the basics & started growing your own produce, there's no reason not to produce awesome meals
- all it takes is a little courage & a pinch of creativity.
