Magdaleen van WykThe Complete South African Cookbook

This is a compilation of recipes from 1950-1970 North America. There is the smattering of common French dishes and common restaurant food of that era. Think of pepper steak, chicken chasseur, devilled kidneys, French veal stew, apple sauce, potato salad, tomato salad mould, baked apples, carrot cake. I mean, if that's South African, I may as well stay home. Also included are Cornish pasties, steak and kidney pie, ratatouille, French salad dressing and instructions on canning vegetables. Sorry I bought it since I already had all that from my mother's old cookbooks.

I am a South African, bought this for a friend and the recipes are amazing, really good South African recipes and really easy to use an understand, definitely recommend it and will be buying one for ourselves! Love this!!!!

I am really enjoying this book.

Always useful this edition is good once you convert the milliliters ( rather than grams) to cups, spoons etc via the conversion chart

Modern print of original even down to the page numbers ! My original is now safe from my children ... great SA original recipes and so easy to follow
