by Justin Bonello. 

Following on the tremendous success of Justin’s COOKED : OUT OF AFRICA, and COOKED : WEEKENDS AWAY, comes COOKED :  OUT OF THE FRYING PAN.  

This time Justin works and learns in 13 professional kitchens chosen along his travels through 16 000 kms of southern Africa “The most difficult and rewarding journey of my culinary life” Again full of mouth-watering recipes, personal chat and innovative ideas that one may think are a bit “weird” until they have tried them, this big tome is also full of unusual and some very beautiful photographs. 

Introducing the chefs with words and photographs as he goes along, Justin and co-author Martin Raubenheimer have included delightful pen-pictures of things from spoons – who ever thought they would make interesting reading? – and the wonderful places and restaurants they visit.  

As Justin says “Sometimes following the directions on the box just isn’t good enough; you should follow your own food instincts instead”.  Whilst trying some of these inventive recipes you may well discover some brilliant ideas of your own.
