This book will be your inspiration to be adventurous, to extend your cooking repertoire and to be more ecologically aware. Based on the popular TV series on BBC Food, Cooked, this unique compilation of places, spaces and flavours combines Justin Bonello’s three favourite things – Southern Africa, food and friends.
Bonello is passionate about ensuring that Africa’s diverse food cultures are recorded and celebrated so that future generations will be able to savour the culinary pleasures we enjoy today.
His 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 from it anything that nature can’t 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. Once you’ve learned the basics and started growing your own produce, there’s no reason not to produce awesome meals – all it takes is a little courage and a pinch of creativity.

Zak DiqueHowzit guys... I'm probably the worst cook alive and because I'm an adventure freak and always out doing some hiking, mountain biking or camping of some sorts, I live on dehydrated food. Well thanks to this book, I can now do pizza in a tin drum, breakfast in a cup and do a mean beer bread. The book really goes with me every time we camp, but haven't done more than these three recipes yet. Thanks for an awesome book. Can't wait for the next one.
