Indulgent and show-stopping, Vegan Cakes is the place where traditional<br />
baking rules are thrown out of the window, proving you don’t need dairy<br />
and eggs to create baked wonders. In Sarah Hardy’s book, you’ll find recipes<br />
for a pink vanilla dream cake and sherry berry trifle, a rose and ginger<br />
cheesecake and black sesame banana bread. Step-by-step recipes, yummy<br />
photos and tips about vegan icing and decorations, this is one all vegans –<br />
actual or aspiring – will love. Hardie Grant Books, R340.<br />
Yes, you’d love to lose weight, but<br />
where to start? Consulting dietitian<br />
Regine du Plessis gives all the info<br />
you need plus recipes for 1000 kJ<br />
meals, in A Slimmer You Cookbook.<br />
The introduction includes topics<br />
such as BMI (body mass index) and<br />
cholesterol, how to balance daily<br />
food intake with physical activity as<br />
well as the role of carbohydrates,<br />
proteins and fats in our diet. Don’t<br />
despair ... it’s not all lettuce and<br />
lemon juice. Yes, you can have fried<br />
egg and bacon for brekkie, or tuck<br />
into a burger or yummy savoury beef<br />
mince. You can even splash out and<br />
enjoy chicken in red wine or ostrich<br />
fillet steak with baked potato. Got a<br />
sweet tooth? Sorry, no luck, as this<br />
book sticks firmly to breakfasts, salads,<br />
soups, chicken, meat, fish and pasta.<br />

Local foodie darling Sarah Graham has just released another of her brilliant<br />
cookbooks, this one featuring plant-based recipes. Super Natural is, Sarah says,<br />
‘a celebration of vegetables (and their humble friends ... fruit, whole grains,<br />
nuts, seeds, legumes and pulses)’. Great, seasonal, plant-based food. We will, this<br />
month, be making her whole roasted tandoori cauliflower flatbreads and her<br />
salted peanut butter oak cookies. Then so much more. As you’d expect from<br />
Sarah – amazing! Penguin Random House, R320.<br />
