‘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.
Warren Mendes is a South African-born chef and food presenter. He completed his classical culinary training at Le Cordon Bleu in Sydney, Paris and London. He recently co-produced and hosted two seasons of the travel and food series Food Trail South Africa, which was broadcast on the Australian Channel 10, and which inspired the publication of this book.
