This book is about meals that are easy to make
when you’ve got little time on your hands. We all like savouring dishes that
are cooked from scratch, but with the daily stresses of a challenging job and
a demanding family, food that’s quick to prepare - and not always healthy
- often wins out. Not any more.
If you’re wondering what to make
for dinner (again), how to entertain guests with hors d’oeuvres that don’t
come out of a packet, how to make a meal of the lone tin left in your pantry or
how to put a dish together without turning on the stove, you’ll find the
answer in these pages. With easy-to-follow methods and hands-on time frequently
under 30 minutes, you’ll end up with delicious, healthy meals - and time
to spare.
Contents: salads; soups; savoury starters; vegetable, meat, chicken

Ramola Parbhoo
was schooled in the art of Indian cuisine from the tender age of six when her
mother sat her down to play in the kitchen with a piece of dough, a roti board
and an Indian rolling pin. Since then her love affair with this part of her culture
has never ended and has been an evolving journey spiced with family memories,
a continual thirst for knowledge and an appreciation of the Indian culinary tradition.
It is this very tradition that has also woven itself in so many ways into
the fabric of South Africa’s own eclectic culinary life. In Traditional Indian
Cooking in South Africa, this exotic cuisine is presented in a wealth of over
170 recipes – an updated and revised edition of the original, best-selling
Indian
Cookery for South Africa, with all new photography. For those who would love to
create their own authentic Indian meals, the author has provided menu suggestions.

 Dinner
with Mugabe (Hardcover)
by Heidi Holland
Hardcover: 280 pages
Publisher:
Allen Lane (29 May 2008)
Language English
ISBN-10: 0143025570
ISBN-13:
978-0143025573
This penetrating, timely portrait of Robert Mugabe is the
psycho-biography of a man whose once-brilliant career has ruined Zimbabwe and
cast shame on the African continent. Heidi Holland's tireless investigation begins
with her having dinner with Mugabe, the freedom fighter, and ends in a searching
interview with Zimbabwe's president more than 30 years later.
The author
charts Mugabe's gradual self-destruction, and uncovers the complicity of some
of the most respectable international players in the Zimbabwe tragedy. Probing
the mystery of Africa's loyalty to one of its worst dictators, Holland explores
the contradictions that cloud the life of a man who had embodied the continent's
promise.
