Mastering the kitchen can seem pretty intimidating, especially when confronted with Instagram and TV chefs who seem to do everything with ease while, at the same time, relating a cute anecdote on camera. I've found that what most people want is simply to learn to prepare delicious and visually appealing food – the kind that will gain likes on social media – which is what inspired this cookbook.
This book was written and compiled with you in mind, and takes into consideration all the different occasions a South African kitchen might have to cater for. The recipes use simple ingredients that are probably already in your pantry or fridge, and if not, they're readily available in all our favourite grocery stores.
About the Author
Mogau Seshoene founded The Lazy Makoti in 2014, wanting to pursue a love for food and the preservation of South African cuisine and heritage. What began as lessons for a friend who was nervous about being labelled 'The Lazy Makoti' (the lazy daughter-in-law) as she couldn't cook has now evolved into a thriving business. She has since made the M&G top 200 Young South Africans list, obtained a Diploma in Culinary Arts and trained under Chef Werner at The Saxon Hotel in Johannesburg, made the Forbes 30 under 30 list, and been appointed a food editor for Sunday World.
