For those who are tired of braaiing the same old chops and wors and MSG-soaked bottled sauces, this is a seriously different book on braaiing. Following the phenomenal success of Braai Buddy and numerous requests for a sequel, author de Waal Davis has once again compiled a magnificent collection of international recipes modified and adapted to South Africa’s favourite national pastime – the braai. In keeping with current trends in taste and cooking style, he has included sections on gas cooking, the pros and cons of wood versus gas and classic ‘steakhouse’ sauces. The potjie section has recipes from around the world as well as South Africa. Chapters also cover the fire, bastes, dry rubs, glazes, marinades, steaks, beef, chicken, lamb, pork and fish, not forgetting a ‘controversial’ guest list. So yes, the humour of the original Braai Buddy is continued in Braai Buddy 2. Colin Daniel’s cartoon-style illustrations add a further dimension to this recipe compilation, which is for the serious braaier with a serious sense of humour.

Justin Bonello goes on yet another adventure across the length and breadth of southern Africa, sharing the ins and outs of road-tripper life. Join him and his friends on a culinary journey into landscapes where there are no fences and no rules. This is a road trip filled with endless car rides, endless playlists, dodgy small town bars and gastronomic treasures hidden in-between. This book is for every braai-loving, dust-kicking crazy heart and ‘wanderluster’ out there, whether your ideal braai spot is on the banks of the mighty Orange River, on the white beaches of the West Coast or around blazing fires under the night skies of the Namibian desert. This is your invitation to get in your car, take a ride with us and braai mouthwatering dishes in places many people only get to dream about. Warning: It gets a little bumpy, so fasten your seatbelts, pack your sunscreen and embrace the great outdoors!

A Dictionary of South African English is the fullest ever study of the English language in South Africa. The result of 25 years of work, this dictionary has been researched and written according to historical principles. However, as well as recording examples of South African English goingback to the sixteenth century, the dictionary also provides an insight into the dramatic political and cultural changes in South Africa's history by examining the country's ever changing language right up to the present day. Research into language has involved the contributions of hundreds ofindividual South Africans, as well as extensive research into all other forms of the written and spoken language. Diverse and informative entries include robot (a traffic light), bakkie (a small truck), bond (a mortgage), and brinjals (aubergines). The dictionary includes such areas as children'sslang, the vocabulary of soldiers, the mines, local music terms, the townships, food, and a detailed look at the complex language of apartheid. English words originating from all the country's groups are recorded, including words from Dutch/Afrikaans, the Malayo-Indonesian languages, the Indian,Khoisan, Nguni, and Sotho languages.
