‘Warren Mendes is the cook’s cook. His recipes are super tasty, palaver free and always work!’
– Matt Preston

Food Trail South Africa follows chef Warren Mendes as he eats his way across the country with curiosity and a good appetite. From lively markets to small, family-run kitchens, he tracks down the dishes that really tell South Africa’s story.
What comes back is a collection of recipes shaped by the road: simple, generous and full of character. Familiar flavours sit next to new discoveries, all easy enough to cook at home, but with enough spark to feel like a trip of their own.
