Cook and Enjoy

by S.J.A. de Villiers

Overview

Revised, updated and completely redesigned to echo its original smaller and thicker format, the new edition combines a readable, modern feel with the classic look of the original.

As indispensable to the seasoned cook as to the beginner, it contains everything you need to know about cooking – from measuring ingredients and operating ovens to the preparation of vegetables and meat or how to freeze foods – along with more than 700 recipes, specially chosen and tested – from breakfasts to mixed drinks. A large number of the dishes are beloved South African favorites. It is the one cookery title no South African home can do without.

For this new, updated edition, her daughter, a home economist like her mother, worked through the text and modernized it where necessary without losing the essence of the Cook and Enjoy we all know and love.
