Throughout the book, you’ll find:

If you’re new to South African baking, I recommend reading the “Before You Begin” section before choosing your first recipe. It introduces the pantry staples, equipment, and baking techniques you’ll use throughout the book.
Most importantly, enjoy the journey. South African baking is rooted in tradition, hospitality, and sharing good food with the people around you. I hope these recipes bring as much joy to your kitchen as they have to ours.
