In this issue

Thirty-two-years. It’s a lifetime. And what a privilege it was to be food editor of the country’s two largest magazines, YOU and Huisgenoot, over those decades. The magazines’ food pages developed into notable contributors to South Africa’s food scene. And among my greatest joys was the constant input from readers along the way. This book is a buffet created from 32 years’ worth of cooking for you.

You South Africa: Carmen Niehaus 100 Best Recipes Magazine Description:

Few South Africans don’t know who the legendary Carmen Niehaus is. For 32 years, she was the food editor at Huisgenoot and YOU, and later also at DRUM.
Over the decades, she has kept a careful eye over the thousands of recipes that have been developed under her supervision in the magazine’s test kitchen, and now she has selected her favourites that she loves to make for her family and friends – food from the heart from her own kitchen.
This collection is packed with fond memories of people with whom she has cooked with throughout the years, lessons from her mom’s farm kitchen and advice on how to transform your favourite ingredients into something special.
Hosting guests? Roast a Karoo leg of lamb. Exhausted after a long day at work? Throw a quick, filling salad together. Kids refusing to eat their veggies? They won’t be able to resist Carmen’s mushroom lasagne. Need to feed the masses? Mince is the answer! And we haven’t forgotten about those who have a sweet tooth – there are more than enough desserts, tarts, cakes and other treats.
Don’t miss this keepsake issue – you’ll return to it again and again and create your own fond food memories with Carmen.
