19 May 2009

Customer magazine publisher New Media Publishing, in collaboration with Quivertree Publishing and Woolworths has published Woolworths TASTE The Cookbook, a 204-page stand-alone recipe book that showcases the best recipes from multi-award-winning magazine TASTE, personally selected by its three acclaimed food editors Phillippa Cheifitz, Abigail Donnelly and Maranda Engelbrecht.

Also available in Afrikaans as Woolworths TASTE Die Kookboek, the book is divided into three easy-on-the-eye sections that that are healthy and easy to prepare.

Author of numerous books and winner of a slew of local and international awards, Phillippa Cheifitz is known for her no-nonsense approach to food appreciation, evident in her moreish Everyday Easy recipe section. Abigail Donnelly’s Smart and Sassy food gives commonly used ingredients a modern twist and for meals with a distinctive stylish edge, Maranda Engelbrecht's aptly named Gourmet Glamour section features a selection of dishes that are guaranteed to excite even the most sophisticated of palates.

Encouraging South Africans to derive enjoyment from great-tasting food that they can prepare in their own homes, an additional Shared Tables section is filled with menu suggestions that result in a spread of dishes for all to indulge. And with the increase of a healthy approach to food and cooking (seen throughout the book), readers will certainly appreciate the useful icons that appear alongside each recipe and in the detailed index, noting everything from ‘carb conscious’ to gluten- and wheat-free recipes.

“It's the ultimate South African foodie guide with recipes and ideas to inspire you for both everyday and extra special meals", says TASTE editor Sumien Brink who was recently honoured as Editor of the Year, at the AdVantage ADmag Awards. “The cookbook is unique in that it caters for a broad spectrum of readers from young, single women who like to share a bowl of pasta and a bottle of wine with their girlfriends, to no-fuss, flavourful meals for the family and dishes with that added wow factor for formal dinner party goers.”

Woolworths TASTE The Cookbook is available at selected Woolworths and Exclusive Books stores countrywide for R299.95.
