Nou Gaan Ons Braai - Recipe Book

Nou Gaan Ons Braai

South African Braai Classics

120 pages of South African braai favourites, potjies, marinades, sides, breads and recipes made for sharing around the fire.

Nou Gaan Ons Braai is a celebration of one of South Africa’s best-loved traditions — gathering family and friends together, lighting the coals and turning a meal into an occasion.

This is much more than a collection of meat recipes. Inside you’ll find everything that makes a proper South African braai what it is: sosaties, lamb chops, chicken wings and fillet, alongside braaibroodjies, roosterbrood, pap, potato bakes, salads, marinades, sauces and potjies.

There are familiar favourites such as Snoek on the Braai, Lamb Sosaties, Krummel Pap, Sousboontjies and Oxtail & Red Wine Potjie, as well as recipes with a little extra fun, including Biltong & Cheese Jaffles, Peri-Peri Beer & Bacon Cashew Nuts, Beer Can Chicken, Sticky Lamb Ribs and Cheesy Garlic Pull-Apart Bread.

You’ll also find a generous collection of homemade sauces and marinades, including Janice’s “Magic” Sauce, Monkey Gland Sauce, Mrs Ball’s-style Chutney, Peri-Peri Marinade and Spare Rib & Braai Marinade — because every South African knows that what goes with the braai matters almost as much as what goes on it.

Created with South Africans living in the UK in mind, the recipes use ingredients that are readily available in Britain, making it easier to recreate the flavours and atmosphere of a proper South African braai wherever you happen to call home.

Whether you’re an experienced braai master, introducing friends to South African food for the first time, or simply missing those long afternoons spent around the fire, this book is designed to bring people together.

Because a braai was never really just about the food.
