Alida Ryder presents recipes for simple, honest food in her new cookbook, available in English and Afrikaans

Simple & Delicious (available in Afrikaans as Heerlik & maklik) is a collection of recipes from the heart. These are dishes which Alida Ryder – a food stylist, photographer, blogger and busy mother of twins – serves to her family.

Sometimes it’s something fancy and a little tricky, but most often it’s simple, honest food created with a big dose of love and enthusiasm and a pinch or two of creativity and curiosity. Recipes from the heart.

About the author

Alida Ryder is the writer, photographer and stylist of www.simply-delicious.co.za, an award-winning food blog. Within a year after starting her blog she had already gained great success and had won two awards at the SA Blog Awards 2010 for Best New Blog and Best Food & Wine Blog.

Once a professional make-up and hair artist, Ryder decided to become a stay-at-home-mom for her twins, Abigail & Aidan, and started the blog as a way of breaking away from the everyday routine of raising children. `

It’s hard to believe she has had no professional training in cooking when you look at her love and passion for cooking and food. Even though the blog started off as a hobby, Alida is now a well-known food writer and blogger and her recipes and photography have been featured on many websites as well as in publications. She has also done numerous TV appearances.
