What makes this braai book different?

For starters, it combines a fascinating journey with a host of interesting recipes and braai advice. But what makes this book truly unique is the man behind the journey. His unashamed forthrightness, delight in life’s diversity and mischievous schoolboy humour blend into a story of hilarious antics and thought-provoking tips on a subject that most people thought they had taped. From types of braai wood and cuts of meat to wine accompaniments and braai equipment, Richard’s passionate belief and expertise in the art of braaing is both inspiring and entertaining.

His unwavering commitment to the investigation of every possible type of South African braai in existence finds him braaiing in the heart of the townships, sampling skilpadjies and pofadders in Rietpoort and sharing his boerewors with an emu in Vryburg. If you look carefully, you may even see smoke emerging from a box at Newlands at the next rugby test!
