Fig Jam and Foxtrot - Tapa blanda

What makes this cookbook different? It is a title combining fact and fiction - delicious recipes providing the fact, and stories of the women of a small Karoo town providing the fiction. Although the women, like their little town of Corriebush, are fictitious, author has attributed the recipes to them. Because they are so different in character, each woman brings a new approach to her menu - the recipes are diverse, exciting and tailored to suit today's tastes. This is a title that can be enjoyed while relaxing, feet up, and reading about Rosa, the town's Italian beauty, or it can be shared with family and friends after preparing Rosa's Fast Fusilli with Rocket. Or read about Olympia from Greece and her tragic tale, and then savour her Pilaff with Mushrooms and Prawns. There are six women, six absorbing tales and over 80 delectable dishes.
