About the book

South Africa’s culinary darling is back, and she’s taking readers on another delicious adventure in her fourth cookbook, Simply More Zola!

Food is at the centre of Zola Nene’s life. It is where she finds pockets of joy, no matter where she is in the world or who she’s with. Simply More Zola, as with each book that came before it, is a celebration – of Zola’s love for food, the way it has shaped her life and the people she gets to share it with.
