Mastering the kitchen can seem pretty intimidating, especially when confronted with Instagram and TV chefs who seem to do everything with ease while, at the same time, relating a cute anecdote on camera. I've found that what most people want is simply to learn to prepare delicious and visually appealing food - the kind that will gain likes on social media - which is what inspired this cookbook. This book was written and compiled with YOU in mind, and takes into consideration all the different occasions a South African kitchen might have to cater for. The recipes use simple ingredients that are probably already in your pantry or fridge, and if not, they're readily available in all our favourite grocery stores.

Trouvrou Mzansi is more than a collection of recipes. It is an invitation, beckoning us back to that place where fellowship and good food meet. It is a celebration of the spicy, flavourful, and unique mix of ingredients that make up this beautiful place we call Mzansi. Whenever we gather around a table where there is always a place for one more, we enrich one another. Food served with generosity of spirit entices us to linger and to listen. To the whole story. Unhurried, over flickering candles into the wee hours of the night. Whether it be a table laden with a culinary feast or a gathering around an open fire, food invites us in. Simple meals prepared with love remind us that it is the blessing of togetherness that truly matters. Here, we rekindle hope when we allow ourselves to be real with one another. Sometimes, our South African hearts long for melkkos on melancholy Sunday evenings, peppermint crisp tart at a birthday celebration, or rooster koek baked over hot coal sat a barbeque. For those who no longer find themselves in Mzansi, this book will no doubt stir up a sense of nostalgia, bringing back beautiful food memories. And for those still living under African skies, I hope this collection will awaken the adventurous spirit. Nkosi Sikelel' iAfrika: May God bless Africa and all those who embody love through their cooking. Sylvia Strauss combines her passion for food, flowers, people, and hospitality in a unique, nostalgic fashion with Trouvrou Mzansi. Her first book, Trouvrou, is an Afrikaans best-seller with over 9000 copies sold and is a favourite in many households.
