101 Amazing Potjiekos Recipes: The Best of South African Outdoor Cooking - Rob Cowie

Descriere

Potjiekos has been part of South Africa's culture for many centuries. nThese cast-iron pots retained heat well and could be kept simmering over a few embers. Rounded, potbellied pots were used for cooking tender roasts and stews as they allowed steam to circulate instead of escape through the lid. n nWhat sets potjiekos apart from these traditional cooking methods, is the fact that it is cooked outside. When the pot was moved from the kitchen hearth to a fire in the open bush, it became a potjie and part of the South African cooking heritage. n nPotjiekos is uniquely South African, and is a friendly food, to be enjoyed by rich or poor, young and old, city-dwellers and country folk, needing only one's imagination when it comes to selecting the ingredients. Potjiekos is traditionally made around an open fire, preferably in the company of good friends. n nThis is a huge collection of 101 tried and tested recipes that have been enjoyed and shared by South Africans all over the world.n
