Nic van Wyk-Brood & Botter
In sy eerste kookboek neem Nic van Wyk, voorste Kaapse sjef en geliefde Kokkedoor-beoordelaar, ons op sy kosreis van 21 jaar, sy kulinere mondigwording: van onthoukos uit sy kinderdae waar die kossaadjies geplant is, na nostalgiese restaurantgeregte met 'n kinkel, tot by sy hartskos sy aardse gunstelinge. Die boek herinner aan Kook en geniet, met die klassieke manier van kosmaak en basiese kookmetodes, maar Nic neem sy resepte 'n stappie verder: onthoukos soos groenbone met witpepersous, dik plaasbotter en nat geelvetbiltong op witbrood, Ouma Liena se boontjiesop, mieliepap met botter, suiker en melk - om maar 'n paar lusmakertjies uit sy kinderdae te noem. Sy onopgesmukte restaurantkos gaan jou verras met dieplekker geurkombinasies wat die smaakkliere laat water en sy hartskos weerspieel sy voorkeur vir eerlike kos sonder fieterjasies. 'n Boek wat defnitief in elke Suid-Afrikaanse huishouding hoort - geniet dus die reis!

Shirley, Goodness and Mercy
Shirley, Goodness & Mercy is a heart-warming, yet compellingly honest story about a young boy growing up in Newclare, Coronationville and Riverlea during the apartheid era. Despite Van Wyk’s later becoming involved in the ‘struggle’, this is not a book about racial politics. Instead, it is a delightful account of one boy’s special relationship with the relatives, friends and neighbours who made up his community, and of the important coping role laughter and humour played during the years he spent in bleak and dusty townships. In Shirley, Goodness & Mercy Chris van Wyk – poet, novelist and short story writer – had created a truly remarkable work, at once both thought-provoking and vastly entertaining.

Eggs to lay, chickens to hatch
Agnes, the Van Wyks' Zulu domestic worker, had a special friendship with young Chris in the late sixties to early seventies. He would defend her whenever she came to work with a babalaas on a Monday morning and made a mess of the cleaning. In turn, Agnes never told on Chris when he played truant from school. As the years passed, the two grew closer, swopping stories about coloureds and Zulus, life in Riverlea and Soweto, pass laws, politics and falling in love. She taught him to count in Zulu and he promised to teach her to read in English. Whenever the clock ran against her, Agnes would stop almost in mid-sentence, grab a broom or cloth, and declare: 'I have to rush. I have eggs to lay, chickens to hatch. What an odd, ungrammatical thing to say, Chris often mused. But many years later, he played a CD by Louis Jordan, a 1940s American jazz singer, and it all became clear. Eggs to Lay, Chickens to Hatch is Chris van Wyk's second childhood memoir about growing up in Riverlea and his colourful interactions with the men and women who lived the African proverb that 'it takes a village to raise a child'. But mostly it is the story of a wonderful friendship between a young coloured boy and a Zulu woman.

Chris van Wyk – Irascible Genius
When he died in 2014, author Chris van Wyk left behind an impressive literary legacy. The scope of his work was broad – poetry, children’s books, short stories and biographies. But perhaps he is best remembered for his memoir Shirley, Goodness & Mercy, which chronicles his growing up in Riverlea and introduces us to the colourful characters who helped to shape his life and inform the stories he wrote.The public persona of this witty and wise raconteur was well known, but behind it was a family man, who liked nothing better than to spend time with his two sons Kevin and Karl, his wife and childhood sweetheart Kathy, and the friends and family who were his primary sources of inspiration.Using the unique vantage point of oldest son, Kevin van Wyk’s astute observations of his father and the strong bond they enjoyed throughout Chris’s life have resulted in a memoir that is as affectionate as it is entertaining. In taking us behind the scenes into the Van Wyk household, we witness the inner workings of the mind of a storyteller, from the flowering of his father’s activism, wit and wisdom to the sources of his occasional quirky outbursts. If storytelling runs in the genes, Kevin may just be proof that his father’s spirit lives on.
