About this ebook
The South African Illustrated Cookbook is a compilation of recipes dear to South Africans from all walks of life and traditions. It includes Xhosa, Cape Malay, Zulu, English, Indian, Afrikaans, Portuguese and new South African dishes. Illustrator Lehla Eldridge has captured various landmarks – both formal and informal – around South Africa to accompany these local recipes that she has garnered from cooks around the country. Her watercolour illustrations are whimsical, humorous and charming, yet perceptive of the country’s rich and varied influences.
About the author
Lehla Eldridge was born in England and has worked as an actress, illustrator and waitress, amongst others. Having trained as an actress in London at The Guildhall School, she was awarded a scholarship in 1995 from Twentieth Century Fox to work with various theatre companies around South Africa, and has taken a theatre show to the International Theatre Festival in India. As a cook Lehla has spent a significant part of her life in and around kitchens, starting at the age of 14 in a pub kitchen, moving on to London cafés and catering at her father’s summer art schools in Italy, where she learned much about Italian cooking.
