Return to Camdeboo: A Century's Karoo Foods and Flavours

This Is Not A Cookery Book, Although Recipes Are Included. It Is A Book About Food. 'this Is How It Happened. I Had Been Planning A Book On Plants, And In Between Notes For This, I Had Been Collecting Recipes, For The Benefit Of Children, And Grandchildren, Of The Farm Food We Had Enjoyed On My Old Karoo Home - Cranemere - Between Graaff-reinet And Somerset East On The Plains Of Camdeboo. Our Family Has Been There Since 1880, So The Food Goes Back Over A Hundred Years. 'my Family Thought It Was A Marvellous Idea And Soon I Was Collecting Not Only Recipes, But Thinking Back To Their History And Associations, And The Triumphs And Hardships That Had Accompanied Them. It Was A Rich Haul, And I Decided Then And There To Add These To The Recipes, So That - In A Poor Benighted Fast-food-world - They, Grandchildren And Great Grand-ones, Would Know What, On Cranemere, It Had All Been About!
