If you are heartily sick of going to braais where the guys stand around the fire drinking and chatting and cooking wors and chops badly, then this book is for you. It's time for girls to claim their right to cook decent food and pretty up the braai area for this pivotal South African social activity. Award-winning country chef Camilla Comins learnt much of her craft producing gourmet meals on a bed of coals as a young cook in Botswana. She cooked three square meals a day for foreign safari guest - offering everything from fritatas to Chelsea buns without so much as a stove to cook on, let alone an oven. Looking at the current state of the South African braai she is frustrated to find men still owning the fireplace and churning out unimaginative and often poorly cooked fare. It's time women seized hold of the braai - physically and figuratively - and made it their own.
