Aprons on<br />

Bake the bread. Light the braai. Invite the friends. Let’s eat.<br />

Honestly. Who doesn’t love Donna<br />

Hay! And Too Easy is one of her best<br />

cookbooks yet ... crammed with all the<br />

simple shortcuts you need, for all the<br />

delicious food you want. She says she<br />

wants to make cooking easy, simple,<br />

quick and fun, and this book certainly<br />

does all that and more. Ten Minute<br />

Snacks. Tossed Together Dinners. One<br />

Pot Pastas. Brilliant. Harper Collins<br />

Paul Hollywood (swoon already) loves<br />

a good loaf. And he’s put together<br />

a mouth-watering collection of 100<br />

Great Breads ... from basics like milk<br />

loaf, beer bread, pitta bread, to loaves<br />

with stilton and bacon, date, prune<br />

and pecans, chocolate and sour<br />

cherry. But also scones, brown bread<br />

ice-cream, cheese biscuits. Great<br />

no-nonsense tips, too. Hamlyn<br />

Food choices matter. And we should<br />

all be asking ‘was it locally produced,<br />

did the crop grow without chemical<br />

interventions, did the animal have<br />

a good life?’. Questions asked by<br />

Scott Gooding and Matilda Brown,<br />

regenerative farmers and owners<br />

of The Good Farm Shop, who’ve<br />

compiled this collection of everyday<br />

family recipes for a nourishing, hopeful<br />

life. Meals built around protein - meat<br />

and plant-based, and free from gluten<br />

and processed ingredients. The<br />

Good Farm Cookbook is all chunky<br />

heirloom tomato salad with crispy<br />

bacon and anchovies, steak and chips<br />

with black olive butter, salted caramel<br />

and honey no-churn ice cream. It’s<br />

food that is good for you. And for the<br />

planet. Murdoch Books<br />

The weather’s fine and it’s time to braai.<br />

Jan Braai Atmosfire has just hit the<br />

bookshelves, and it’s a scorcher. A massive,<br />

juicy, 400-plus pages of all the braai recipes<br />

you’d expect … and a whole load you’d<br />

never imagined. More than 200 tasty dishes<br />

that can be cooked over, and enjoyed<br />

next to, a wood fire. Jan’s added hints,<br />

techniques and anecdotes, the images are<br />

delicious, and this may well be the only<br />

braai book you’ll ever need. From trad faves<br />

like boerewors rolls with monkey gland<br />

sauce and cheese braaibroodjies to the<br />

more unexpected Peking duck and braai<br />

Bolognese and spanakopita. For those with<br />

a sweet tooth, buy this book for the puds …<br />

brandy and cola malva pudding, chocolate<br />

fondant potjie pud, banana bread potjie …<br />

sweet sweet endings to your family braai.<br />

Also in Afrikaans as Jan Braai Atmosvuur.<br />
