All recipes were tried and tested in their respective regions before inclusion in this book. Catering to tastes from the cautious to the adventurous, the recipes are grouped by region, straightforward, and based on widely available ingredients. Discover and try out exotic and exciting foods using both traditional and modern ingredients while you learn snippets of the numerous languages and marvel at the varied costumes. What better companion for the traveler than this collection of recipes provided by the women of the different cultures? The book takes a journey through indigenous foods from 11 South African ethnic groups (Tswana, Sotho, Pedi, Tsonga, Zulu, Ndebele, Swati, Venda, Xhosa, Khoisan and the Afrikaans). Most likely the only book on this subject. Fine.
