A cookbook you’ll want to cook from every day

A cookbook can be anthropology, artwork, kitchen manual, manifesto or memoir. Occasionally a title hits all those marks, and Unionโ€™s new edition of the Karoo Family Favourites – a celebration of much-loved family-favourite traditional Karoo fare – is one of them.

By popular demand, this exceptional publication has been revised and was re-released in 2022.

Like its predecessor, the new edition – which features a beautifully illustrated cover design by Old Unionite Rebecca Langmead – is just short of 300 pages, each filled with traditional Karoo recipes that will no doubt bring back many memories for those familiar with the region.

As the recipes in the book have proved enormously popular over the years, the new edition features all the much-loved favourites the book is known for, but with the addition of a “new” carefully selected collection of “all-time favourite recipes” gathered from local families.
