So tomorrow I make my first radio ‘appearance’ on RSG at 8am. I will be talking about this recipe from my new cookbook with Nina Timm from My Easy Cooking.

Nina is one of the first food bloggers I met when I started writing Drizzle and Dip two and a half years ago and when I was just the ‘new kid on the block‘. Nina at that stage was well established in South Africa and her blog has been ranked amongst the biggest in the country for many years. She has always been so kind and helpful to me, and is well loved in our food community.

Nina is known to her listeners as ‘Kuberkok’ (cyberchef) and presents a cooking radio slot on RSG every Thursday morning at 9am just after the news.

I’m so delighted that Nina has asked me onto her show.

I chose this recipe because it is one of my favourites, its completely original, and most importantly is very easy. It uses only 3 ingredients that complement each other so perfectly.

Tune into 100-104FM or listen online here at 8am on Thursday 26th July. This is an earlier time slot than Nina’s normal time of of 9am. Please don’t laugh as I attempt to speak Afrikaans.

The recipe as it appears on page 100 of my cookbook:

My book has arrived in Cape Town and will start rolling out into stores from the end of this week. I am besides myself with excitement and I cannot wait to see it on the shelf.

I have put up my Eat the Book website which I will keep updated on where to buy my book going forward.

Eat the Book is an imprint of Drizzle and Dip (PTY) Ltd, a company established to publish books and digital content for people who love food.

a summer gone past and my first cook book

Over the past year I have been working on a very special project. I have written my first cook book. After keeping it (mostly) under wraps for what feels like the longest time, I am over joyed to be able to share this news at last.

The book is finally nearly finished and soon to go to print. I had no idea that this journey, which had many bumps in the road, could have been so all consuming and all encompassing as its been. The fact that I chose to do most of the production slap bang in the middle of my busy food styling season and in the middle of a very hot summer did not make it any easier.

And yes I did all the production on it myself from concept to recipes, to the styling and photography. If you followed me on Twitter from October to March you would have heard me groaning under the weight of the pressure of it all. But unlike the journey of writing a food blog, which is often very lonely, the making of my book has been the opposite.

I have undertaken to publish it myself in collaboration with publishing consultants Schreiber Media and pulled in a fabulous small team of people to help.

I have received so much guidance along the way from various corners, from people I know and people I have never met, and for which I am am extremely grateful. The book is in essence an extension of Drizzle and Dip and consists of a collection of some of my favourite recipes from my site as well as new ones. I cant wait to take Drizzle and Dip into a new arena and onto paper.

My book is being marketed and distributed by Jacana Media and will be launched in July 2012.
