One of Africa’s first
English-language cookery books, newly released over a century after its
first publication! As well as offering over 500
recipes for southern African delicacies—including sticky,
ginger-flavoured melon preserve; Malay-inspired aromatic pickled fish,
and spicy soetkoek biscuits—Mrs
Barnes also provided her readers with
instructions on making a traditional African polished-cow-dung floor;
how to treat snake-bite and, the best method for discouraging
mosquitoes. A fascinating book, illustrating the process that early British settlers underwent as they adapted to life in an unfamiliar environment on the other side of the world.
