Justin Bonello Cooks... for Friends

Are you in the mood for Crab in Pumpkin Leaves, Bunny Chow, Chicken in a Kassie or an Ostrich Peppercorn Fillet? Would you top it off with a Blueberry and Pomegranate Smoothie or a delicious Messy Chocolate and Berry Pie? Then this is the perfect cookbook for you and your friends. Let’s face it, no one should eat alone.

My dad always says, ‘A meal without wine is like a day without sunshine.’ I think the same can be said about eating on your own. Let’s face it, no one should eat alone. My worst nightmare is rushing home, fixing up a quick grub and standing in my kitchen stok siel alleen and wolfing it down. This book was written with my friends in mind. When I think back, most of my most memorable nights, days, braais and kuiers revolved around food.

My Suggestion: Get together, light a fire, have a laugh and cook food that creates memories. Whether your kitchen is in the great outdoors, somewhere on a beach or at home, this is the kind of book that is best enjoyed with your friends. And remember, there are no bad cooks. Just friends who aren’t hungry enough!
