Africola – Cookbook Giveaway

Enter our US/CA/UK/AU giveaway to win a copy of Africola: Slow Food Fast Words Cult Chef by Duncan Welgemoed.

Duncan Welgemoed’s approach to food is fearless, take-no-prisoners, bold and exciting, inspired by his South African heritage. His multi-awarded, South Australian-based restaurant Africola serves food that is cooked on fire, in embers or ashes, in ovens, or cast iron pots – from whole smoked pig South African/Australian style, to homemade biltong, hot smoked mackerel and horseradish, whole roasted cauliflower with tahini sauce, and the world’s greatest roast potato recipe.

Duncan’s words aren’t pretty, and he’s refreshingly honest about the highs and lows of his industry and the people within it, delivering home truths for cooks and chefs alike. These recipes include an amazing array of meats, as well as seafood and a slew of intensely flavourful, veg-forward dishes. There is also a culinary encyclopaedia of ferments, condiments and pickles – adding richness and complexity to any dish – along with a solid pastry section and a bunch of ridiculous cocktails.

    Meat is definitely my soft spot, on fire…well that’s it! You have me!

    Everything sounds delicious! I love the African influences brought to these recipes, it’s a cuisine I don’t cook at home and would love to learn!

    Although I love meat, and am obsessed about bread, this time I would start with something with simple ingredients such as this recipe:

    “Braised white peas, cured egg yolk and preserved lemon”.

    Yum!
