About the book: 
‘This is more than just a cookbook; it is a celebration of culinary creativity and a testament to Ollie’s exceptional talent and zest for life.’  – Ivor Jones, head chef at Chefs Warehouse Beau Constantia.
 
There’s one thing that Chef Ollie doesn’t do easily and that’s follow rules. He likes to challenge convention and try new things, often at the spur of the moment. This attitude to life has filtered into his cooking style, which he enthusiastically shares with you in this aptly titled book,  Freestyle Cooking with Chef Ollie.
 
Ollie cooks with feeling and taste. His recipes are quick and easy, and designed to inspire rather than intimidate. With this book, he aims to show home cooks that just by using the best and simplest ingredients, you can create dishes that scream with flavour. Whether he’s making you sweat with his Hot and Sour Prego Roll or transporting you to Indonesia with his Sambal Matah Fish en Papillote, Ollie proves that the secret to exceptional dishes lies in the layering of flavour and understanding the basics of cooking.
 
Each of the six chapters in  Freestyle Cooking with Chef Ollie  represents a distinct part of Ollie’s life and is accompanied by a lesson he’s learned along the way, as well as a QR code to a playlist of songs that all form part of the culinary adventure.
 
With recipes ranging from Proper Durban Lamb Curry, Banging Lamb Chops and Rooibos Honey Basque Cheesecake to 30 Clove Garlic Chardonnay Chicken, the Double Oklahoma Smash Burger and Banana Dom Pedros, Ollie reminds us that cooking is meant to be fun. So put on your tunes, pour yourself a glass of wine and enjoy!
