Retro Karoo Food (EBOEK)

<p><i>In every part of every old Karoo house are the memories of things that<br>happened there. Their front doors are portals to the mysteries that lie<br>within, the lives that have been lived there and the stories that have<br>happened in their wide rooms with their wooden floors.<br>Retro Karoo Food brings together 80 recipes from author, food writer<br>and playwright Tony Jackman&rsquo;s Karoo kitchen, made with love in the spirit<br>of the old Garob. Some are traditional, others adapted, and yet others his<br>own invention: from skilpadjies, boontjiesop and tomato bredie to ginger<br>chicken roasted in a potjie and parmesan gem squash; there is Japie se<br>gunsteling, Karoo ice creams and prickly pear syrup&hellip; Jackman also<br>revisits cookery classics by C Louis Leipoldt, S.J.A. de Villiers and others,<br>tracking down the histories and variations of dishes such as<br>waterblommetjiebredie, hoenderpastei and tipsy tart.<br>There are no trends in this book &ndash; no spheres, blobs, smears or passing<br>fads. This is a throwback, a cookbook that distils those genuine, old South<br>African recipes all in one place. If you&rsquo;re a South African at home or<br>abroad, a tourist wanting a taste of local cuisine or simply looking for<br>classics for a midweek supper, braai or dinner party, this is for you.</i></p>
