Editorial Review:

Hailed for their excellent values and superior quality, South African wines have found a strong market in North America. Take part in a glorious celebration of these wines, with their unique taste, their complex and delicious flavors influenced by the land's special soil, climate, and cultivation techniques. This beautiful, large-size volume, filled with luscious color photos, introduces you to the "star" varieties, as well as some "bit players": captures the perspective of winemakers and wine writers; provides advice on wine tasting and its descriptive terminology; and gives tips on "pouring for pleasure" and for storing this liquid treasure.

2 of 2 people found this review helpful.

I have never before experienced such an easy to follow and such an interesting cookbook. I found it on a trip to Canada in June, 1998. Each recipe has been delicious and successful every time; my husband and I have loved every one and have bought the book for several family members and friends. Everyone has been delighted; HATS OFF to a wonderful,versatile Chef Rosamund Grant.

The recipes in this book are outstanding !!!! 5 out of 5 stars.

I have tried several of the recipes contained within this book and have been completely and totally taken in by a cuisine that I had no experience with prior to reading Ms. Grants book. If this is an introduction to traditional African cooking I feel that a great many people are missing out on one of the most flavorful and enjoyable cuisines of the world.
