Lazy Days

The author takes us on a lazy meander up the West coast to her beach house in paternoster to sample and savour some of the bounty of the West coast. From salt pans in Veldrif, dairy farms in St Helena Bay and watching the flamingos at sunset, home-made jams, feta, rusks and wholesome brown bread, farm butter, korrelkonfyt, pickles, smoked snoek and poached quince slices, delicacies to inspire abound. the recipes are relaxed and varied from a hearty flavoursome slowcooked lamb in winter to a barbecue in summer with ice-cream in cones or an indulgent baked warm pudding to finish.
