The hottest cookbook to hit SA shelves this summer!

 
Cooked in Africa is a unique compilation of places, spaces and flavours and combines Justin Bonello’s three favourite things: Southern Africa, food and friends. –The perfect “Proudly South African” gift, for culinary lovers, this festive season.
There is no better way to shrug off the pressures of modern living than to grab a bunch of mates and hit the road – immerse yourself in natural surroundings – and, while you’re out there, stop, cook up a storm and have a party. Eat, drink and lekker kuier, then next time pack it all up and do it somewhere else. Sound like a really excellent jol? It is. This is a freewheeling compilation of scrumptious food that you can enjoy on the rocks, on rivers and off the road; it comes courtesy of life enthusiast Justin Bonello, presenter of Cooked in Africa. You’ll find plenty of homespun wisdom, edgy views and fresh angles as the crew and company venture into the wilds where they capture it all – the scenery, the adventure, the interaction and, of course, the food.
 

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Local culinary genius, Justin Bonello, is the owner of Cooked in Africa Films and host of Cooked – the popular cooking adventure show, broadcast by BBC Lifestyle, Channel 180, DStv.

Justin’s love affair with cooking and wide-open spaces began with weekends and school holidays spent in the great outdoors either on the Breede River or on the Wild Coast. He learnt to embrace the land and all that it has to offer without taking  away from it anything that nature could not replenish.

Bonello believes that the beauty of travel and cooking can be found in searching for fresh produce, making new friends and discovering foods you didn’t even know existed.
