If the road to reconciliation run through a country’s belly, Evita’s cookbook provides it’s recipe for peace. She invites the whole country, the whole world to her table where everybody can feast on dishes like green bean bredie and cumin chicken with sweet potatoes. Who’ll be able to moan and groan between mouthfuls of walnut balls and pampoenkoekies, or baked apple clowns? Truly, there’s nothing like a generous helping of rabbit in red wine or guinea fowl with sultanas & hanepoot to bring forth brotherly love. And liewe aarde, you will definitely want to be best friends with the orange trifle and Tannie’s melktert.
Evita is always well prepared and includes recipes for diabetics and vegetarians, Halaal and Kosher dishes, and even recipes to keep as fit as she does. Whether she entertains her grandchildren, caters for a picnic or plans a Christmas menu, Evita cooks up a storm. Richly illustrated by artist Linda Vicquery, the expert behind the dishes. Also included: many photographs of Evita and a preface by none other than Sophia Loren.
