The Special Collections Book of the Week this week is:

Rainbow Cuisine by Lannice Snyman & Andrzej Sawa

‘Rainbow Cuisine’ encompasses the foods of all the peoples of the country and sets them against the grand backdrop of South Africa’s scenic splendour. The insightful, informative text explores the human and culinary history of seven geographical regions and traces the local diet from the days when the land was inhabited by hunter-gatherers and pastoralists, through the arrival of European settlers and folk from eastern lands and on to modern times. This book takes the reader on a travelogue as well as a gastronomic tour all in one stunning volume.
