Great book for this summer! I am looking forward to trying out the recipes while in the bush.
My dad always says, 'A meal without wine is like a day without sunshine.' I think the same can be said about eating on your own. Let's face it. No one should eat alone. My worst nightmare is rushing home, fixing up a quick grub and standing in my kitchen stok siel alleen and wolfing it down. My suggestion? Get together with your mates, light a fire, have a laugh and cook food that creates memories. In fact, when I think back, most of my most memorable nights, days, braais and kuiers revolved around good food and great company. Why change a winning recipe? Whether your kitchen is in the great outdoors, somewhere on a beach or at home, this is the kind of book that is best enjoyed with your friends. And remember, there are no bad cooks … just friends who aren't hungry enough!
From the green hills and sun-drenched coast of Galilee to the sacred sites of Jerusalem's Old City; from the dramatic desert of Wadi Rum to the vibrant reefs of Dahab, there is much for pilgrims and holidaymakers alike.

Cooking's for girls...but BBQ is different. It's cooking the way God intended...just man, nature, red meat, a beer in one hand and oversized tongs in the other.
There's nothing more gorgeous than a new grill or barbeque with its elaborate stacking system, shiny hood and dual gas inlets for more power. Let's face it, a grill the size of a buffalo is the ultimate in garden status symbols for those who can't afford a riding mower.
So here at last is a celebration of the man and BBQ. A salute to those heroes of the flame grill. Those intrepid backyard chefs who, armed only with a beer and a wacky apron, are prepared to sear off their eyebrows, so their loved ones can feast on processed meat.

This edition of Gamebirds of Southern Africa (first published in 2000) has been updated and subtly redesigned, but still adheres to the original standards of xcellence. The 21 species of upland gamebird found in southern Africa fall into four groups: francolins and spurfowls (12 species), quails (3 species), guineafowls (2 species) and sandgrouse (4 species). Gamebirds of Southern Africa offers: Text that summarises the large but scattered body of accumulated scientific research; pertinent and interesting facts presented in readable fashion; illustrated plates that convey in accurate and painstaking detail the precise environment of each bird; beautifully rendered paintings – works of art in themselves. Gamebirds of Southern Africa will be a worthy addition to ornithological literature and to the bookshelves of bird enthusiasts, art lovers, and anyone with an interest in nature and conservation.
Southern African LBJ's Made Simple
Author: Doug Newman; Gordon King
ISBN: 9781770077997
Format: Softcover
Southern African LBJs made simple is an important new guide to the cryptic little birds that are universally known as ‘little brown jobs’.
Using colour coding and careful design, the reader is systematically guided through the initial sorting stages: from family group, to ‘visual group’ within the family, and finally to the species. Illustrations with pointers show characteristic features of each species, summarised in an ‘At a glance’ box. Concise text describes visual clues as well as other key ID criteria, such as size, habitat, habits, call and similar-looking and -sounding birds. A distribution map shows range, and each species is linked by track number to its call on the accompanying CD. Identification depends on successfully matching a given number of the bird’s features – in some cases, just a single convincing diagnostic trait.
Painstakingly conceived and designed, this guide will have wide appeal for serious birders and keen amateurs alike – anyone who wants to be able to tell one LBJ from another.
