This is more than just a cookbook. It’s a place to gather the flavours, memories, and stories that made you — and to pass them on.
Whether you’re thousands of kilometres from the land you still call home, or simply wanting to hold onto the tastes that raised you, this book is for you. It’s for the Ouma who made soetkoekies on rainy afternoons. For the cousin who shared her secret vetkoek trick. For your mother’s Sunday roast, your neighbour’s milk tart, your friend’s best potjie — and every other recipe that says: we come from somewhere special.
In here, there’s room to write them all down.
To fill the pages with what’s been passed around the braai, scribbled on stained index cards, and shared from memory — with love, pride, and a little bit of butter.
Because even far from South Africa, we carry it with us in the food we make.
And every time we cook, we remember.
So go on — fill it with your favourites.
Make it a family heirloom.
And may each page remind you: you belong to something beautiful.
