Pots, Pans & Potjies (Paperback)

In today’s insta-everything world, cast iron reminds us of a simpler time. A time when things were built to last, not break within a year.

A well-seasoned pan is a cooking Swiss Army knife. A solid flat pot is the ultimate campfire jack-of-all-trades, and the humble potjie pot is more than just a pot. It’s our version of low and slow and it has some important lessons to teach. It forces you to relax and enjoy the ride, and to realise that the best things really are worth waiting for. It’s a delicious goal for friends and family to come together and work towards over the course of the day – the ingredients prep, the fire prep, the building of flavour layers and watching the potjie’s bulging belly whisper away.

These are steps required for a great potjie day, and the best part is that you get to do it while chatting and laughing with a beer in hand.
