Description:

In Once upon a chicken pie and other food tales you will find far more than a compendium of recipes. It is a collection of a lifetime, appreciating the skill of cooking, understanding the alchemy that ties food together; that the right twist of lime, a thread of saffron and few torn leaves of tarragon can make a dish sing. Inspiration came to Johan at the knee of his mother, and from his sister Voy's passion for cooking delicious, Afrikaans food for the family. Throughout his years of travel, his repertoire broadened and expanded, finally realising that truthful food is the best. The recipes here all have connotations of feasts, family meals, gatherings of friends or quiet tables a deux. Some dishes have always been around, others are new and some have reappeared. Therein lies the fascinating quality of food. To have others at one's table and to entertain them with food, drink and hospitality is a privilege and a gift. Passing on a few of 'our' recipes is an extension of that.
