Cooked in the Karoo
By Justin Bonello and Helena Lombard
Kicking up dust across the semi-desert, Justin is dependent on the legendary hospitality of the people who live there. His mission is simple: to walk in their shoes, to cook with them and to tell the stories of the thirsty land. Catch a glimpse of things you won’t expect in this arid landscape - from the wide-open spaces and endless starry nights to the extraordinary and rare characters that are the heart and soul of this thirsty land. Experience their incredible hospitality, witness their daily struggle to survive and taste the delicious dishes rooted in the kitchens of yesteryear.
Cooked in the Karoo will make you want to pack up your car and travel into this painted landscape – a space where you will rediscover the importance of sometimes just sitting in silence and reconnecting with the essential things in life: good food and creating dust-covered memories with great friends.

Justin’s other books include Cooked in Africa, Cooked – Out of the Frying Pan, Cooked – Weekends Away, Justin Bonello Cooks ... for Friends, The Ultimate Braai Master and Roads Less Travelled.

From hiding out in libraries as a child, to travelling all over the country trying what culinary secrets South Africa has to share, Helena Lombard has turned her passions into her profession: writing, travelling, cooking and researching anything and everything food and travel related. Since she joined Cooked in Africa Films as the writer in 2011, she has travelled with and has worked by Justin Bonello's side. Although she often struggles to get him out of her head, she feels there's nothing a good glass of wine can't fix. So far she has co-written four titles under the Justin Bonello brand and has no plans to run away, yet. Helena's other books include Justin Bonello Cooks ... for Friends, Ultimate Braai Master and Roads Less Travelled. |
