We start with a bang: A book filled with traditional, South African recipes, from vetkoek to mopani worms, presented in a way that even a normal person can cook. Please find Clover: South African Favourites under non-fiction.

But there is more: Ex-IRA soldiers in Northern Ireland (Vita du Preez), paedophiles in Bloemfontein (Madelein Rust) and a romance based on a trip to see Bruce Springsteen (Marilé Cloete), all of this will entice mothers to curl up with a book. That is why we also have a cookbook aimed at dads. Dads, in turn can reward the young ones who help them with the cooking. For older teens, we have a brand-new book by the award-winning young-adult author Annelie Ferreira and for younger teens, there is a new Fanie Viljoen; book about a boy that wants to dance. The smaller ones will love our two new books by Holly Webb.

With Clover leading the project, the spotlight falls on Clover’s products that have been incorporated to create mouth-watering recipes ranging from light meals to main courses and sweet treats.
