Bought this cookbook when I lived in Durban in 1987. Magdaleen Van Wyk is supposed to be the Fanny Farmer of S African cooking - the Cape Malay curries are shockingly good, along with the chutneys and the sambals. Mind you, some of the stuff you can't make unless you know where to find springbok (gazelle-like jumpy animal with long pointy horns), ostrich and some oddly named veg, but wonderful all the same. I visited Caeptown only last week after 20 years (can't believe it) and they had re-issued the book with NO PICTURES. How can you you do that? Don't you WANT to see what the dish is supposed to look like? And what about all of of us nutty folk who READ cookbooks just for the sheer enjoyment?
