Le Braai

Kobus Botha was raised in the Karoo, but this 'boerseun' has established himself in France. Setting up his custom-made mobile barbecue at fêtes, functions and outdoor events, he dishes up a taste of South Africa in his own unique style.

Le Braai is a collection of recipes that captures the larger-than-life spirit of this genial giant, whose personality is matched by the boldness of his dishes. Cooking over an open fi re has been a way of life for as long as Kobus can remember; his dishes evoke the camaraderie that comes when friends gather around the braai. Favourites such as pork ribs, burgers, prawns peri-peri and homemade sausage are given a touch of French fl air, while brief introductions provide anecdotes as well as insight into how to turn your 'tjop 'n wors' into a meal with a touch of 'ooh la la'!
