Product Description
Herman se Tafel
Author: Herman Lensing
Format: Paperback
Vir hom begin alles met ’n besluit: Om mense te nooi vir ete. En dan kom die groot beplanning: die datum, die gaste, die tema en dekor en laaste – maar seker die belangrikste – die spyskaart. In Herman se tafel bied Herman Lensing tien unieke spyskaarte, elkeen geskoei op ’n tema waarby al die gange – voorgereg,
hoofgereg, nagereg en meer – pas. Die keurige geregte in hierdie boek is saamgestel met kundigheid en styl, maar is deurgaans gebruikersvriendelik en aanloklik. Daar is ou Suid-Afrikaanse bekendes, maar ook Italiaanse pastas en ’n Franse nagereg of twee; disse waarin vars kruie die kollig steel, kuierkos vir lank eet,
afshow-geregte om jou gaste te beïndruk en ja, selfs happies vir honde. En dan wys hy jou ook hoe om jou tafel te dek: óf met uitspattighede, óf met dit wat jy reeds in jou huis het. Vir Herman is die etenstafel die kern van die huis en van saamwees – van bande versterk en van vriendskappe smee – en ’n simbool van alles wat mooi en goed is. Met hierdie boek nooi Herman jou uit om fees te vier, om moeite te doen, om die lewe te vier en om groot – dog moeiteloos – te kook.
For award-winning South African food writer Herman Lensing, it all starts with the decision to invite people over for a meal. Then it’s time to plan the event: the date, the guests, the theme and décor, and finally – and perhaps most importantly – the menu. In Herman se Tafel, the author presents ten unique menus, each based on a specific theme. The delicious recipes in this book are compiled with expertise and style but are always user-friendly and inviting.
There are classic South African favourites, as well as Italian pastas and French desserts; dishes where herbs take centre stage; meals to share with friends; dishes to impress your guests and delicious treats for dogs too. Herman also includes useful tips for decorating your lunch or dinner table beautifully, using either fancy, newly bought decorations or re-purposing objects you already have in your home.
For Herman, the table is the heart of the home and a symbol of togetherness – a place where bonds are strengthened and friendships are made. This book invites us to go the extra mile when preparing a meal, to celebrate life, and to cook and entertain with ease.
