Shisanyama

“It doesn’t matter what you choose to call it, ultimately. Every South African understands what the significance of the barbque is. This is where we come together to gossip, laugh, argue, debate and enjoy each other’s company. Long may it continue.”– Sipho Hlongwane South Africa loves to barbeque. In Shisanyama (which means 'barbeque' in Zulu), Jan Braai asked South Africans to send him their best braai recipes, mixed them with some of his own favourites, made sure they were easy and really worked, and then put them in this book! So if you want to know what South Africans love to braai, and how they do it, this is the book for you. Easy recipes, using readily available ingredients, Shisanyama is another Jan Braai classic following on from Fireworks, Red Hot and TheDemocratic Republic of Braai.
