Synopsis & Historical Value
Published in 2007 by Don Nelson Publishers, Braai Safari follows the author on a journey around South Africa to explore the many regional styles of braaiing, the national pastime that crosses almost every cultural line in the country.
Part travelogue and part practical guide, the book mixes recipes with advice on braai wood, cuts of meat, wine pairings and equipment, all told with humorous stories along the way. The pages are richly illustrated with colour photographs.
The author wrote the book after a cancer diagnosis in 2005, which lends the cheerful, food-loving text a more personal dimension. A collectible copy for those interested in South African food culture, braai heritage and lifestyle Africana.
