Homegrown

People always ask me when I’m bringing out a cookbook. It’s kind of what you do when you’re a chef: Work crazy hours, build a reputation, bring out a cookbook, buy an island and retire. So here it is. My first cookbook. It might not be the cookbook you’re expecting, but it tells snatches of the story of my culinary journey. There are some classic Overture recipes in these pages. It also has some recipes that have travelled everywhere with me, from kitchen to kitchen, in my career. Those flavours, smells and memories of growing up in South Africa make me the cook I am. They make me Homegrown.
