Description: The South African Culinary Tradition is a book that will delight and fascinate equally the social historian, the home economist and South Africans interested in their country's unique cuisine.
Renata Coetzee traces the interrelation of Cultural background, eating habits and social practices of the early Cape Dutch community from 1652 to 1800. Her meticulously researched text is accompanied by 167 authentic tested recipes, many of which are today considered typical traditional South African fare.
This book is further enhanced by Volker Miros's superb photography that captures the mood and atmosphere of that early gracious era.
