Potjiekos is a friendly food, to be enjoyed by rich or poor, young and not so young, city-dwellers and country folk, needing only one's imagination when it comes to selecting the ingredients. It's the ideal food to serve to a crowd and its popularity in recent years can be attributed to its versatility and relatively low cost. With the revival of potjiekos, we can again sit companionably around a fire as the potjie simmers away. But where did the original potjiekos come from? No one seems to be able to pinpoint the exact origin with any accuracy and there are many theories. What sets potjiekos apart from other cooking methods, is the fact that it is cooked outside. When the pot was moved from the kitchen hearth to a fire in the open veld, it became a potjie and part of our cooking heritage. This wonderful cookbook introduces to a great collection of over 150 easy-to-make recipes gathered from all over South Africa and Namibia, and also to the techniques of using the Potjie.
