MasterChef S.A. 2-Book Collection (Paperback)

Two - Seline & Leandri
During the screening of the MasterChef South Africa 2013 series, TV viewers were both fascinated by, and impressed with, the Van der Wat sisters. Seline and Leandri’s relationship and their varying cooking styles and personalities kept audiences on the edge of their seats right up until the final episode as they were ultimately placed second and third – no mean achievement. Since then their foodie careers have taken off, albeit in differing directions. But in Two, they are back in collaboration to present a really fascinating cookbook concept: taking the same main ingredient and creating two different dishes from it, or taking a classic recipe and making one for family and casual dining, and the other version to impress for serious entertaining. Whatever the case, both dishes will be utterly delicious. So, for instance, take a straightforward Pea Soup. The basic recipe is Pea and Fennel Soup with Goat’s Cheese and Lemon Oil – wonderful for a weekday meal. And for your dinner party guests, try Pea Brûlée with Smoked Salmon Velouté and Asparagus Ribbons!

Gourmet Sisters - Ilse Fourie & Sue-Ann Allen
Sue-Anne Allen and Ilse Fourie became big friends during the filming of MasterChef SA 2012. Since then they present projects together under the brand Gourmet Sisters. This is the first cookbook of these two rising stars on the culinary horizon. They chose 44 general ingredients and each gave a recipe that reflects their personality as well as their own preferences and styles. This way you get two exciting recipes using ordinary ingredients such as avocado, chickpeas, chicken breasts, ostrich meat, calamari, chocolate and many more. The recipes are easy and quick to make, but also exciting. What Ilse does with tomatoes goes in a deliciously different direction to what Sue-Ann does: for the one they are the perfect ingredient for a quick and easy seasonal tomato soup; while the other dreams of her grandmother’s tomato stew. In the process we learn new ways with old favourites and get to have a lot of fun in the kitchen. A cookbook for beginners and advanced cooks alike, this is a sure-fire winner from two exciting new stars. We will be hearing a lot more from these two sassy ladies!
