Description
Divided into 20 chapters, the book includes recipes for traditional favourites such as classic potjies, steaks, burgers and ribs, to less conventional dishes prepared on the braai, including pasta, pizza, salads and desserts. Every dish is delectable and the accompanying photography will have your mouth watering, and your family and friends clamouring for a get-together around the braai fire while you put your braai skills to the test. Jan Braai’s clear instructions and no-nonsense attitude to the art of braai will ensure that even newbie braaiers will easily pull off these recipes.
There is something for everyone in this book. Readily available ingredients mean it’s a breeze to put the meals together, as most items are probably on hand already, or can be sourced with minimal effort or a quick trip to the supermarket.
Ook beskikbaar in Afrikaans – Atmosvuur.
Founded in 2005 by Jan Scannell (Jan Braai), the National Braai Day initiative invites all South Africans to come together around fires on 24 September annually. This day, designated as National Heritage Day, celebrates our rich cultural tapestry amidst the backdrop of a shared tradition—the braai. Across diverse backgrounds and beliefs, we gather to light fires, share stories, and feast, fostering unity and pride. Inspired by global celebrations like St Patrick’s Day and Thanksgiving, National Braai Day stands as a testament to our collective identity and strength as a nation. Guided by Patron Desmond Tutu, this initiative not only honors our past but also builds towards a future of social cohesion and national pride.
“Show me one South African who has never been to a braai.” – Archbishop Desmond Tutu
