EASY AL FRESCO
ILSE VAN DER MERWE (STRUIK, R430)
When we eat outside, beyond the confines of four walls, meals become a heady combination of fresh air and flavours, of outdoor sounds and scenery. It makes little difference whether that ‘outside’ is our own garden or the middle of nowhere, because we come away energised, nurtured and deeply satisfied. And if preparing those meals doesn't require electricity, well, that's just the cherry on the top! This is a simple and inspiring guide for scrumptious dishes that can all be prepared with a limited range of basic utensils, and a fire or kettle braai. Take it with you on your next trail hike, fishing weekend, game reserve trip or beach holiday. From breads, spreads, appetisers, salads and sandwiches to mains and desserts, Use hasyou covered. So light the fire, grab a whisk and get cooking.
