PRE-ORDER RELEASE DATE: 24 SEPTEMBER 2026 Love and Lobola honours the meals that shaped our love story. Modern love often feels disconnected from heritage. These recipes show that you can be contemporary, well-travelled, curious, adventurous – and still be deeply rooted in tradition. In our kitchen, chakalaka can sit beside a French style cordon bleu chicken. Umngqusho can share a table with crusty Lazy Boy beer bread. A December sheep roasted over fire can be followed by a delicate apple galette. Our love is layered.
