Happy Meals
African Salad is not a new book, but is definitely worth bumping your under utilised Jamie off the kitchen shelf.
Not that you will be cooking too many of these dishes, it’s pages are filled with a salad of South Africans at home, honestly portrayed without any trace of a patronising onlooker. Each person stands proudly in front of their shack, hut, cottage or mansion and with a smile offers a glimpse of their day to day life in their intimate surroundings.
The photographs celebrate a South Africa of today and one of years ago, where saturday afternoon and sunday morning visits to friends, aunts and grannies were being played out.
