"From the earliest days of South Africa's history, food has set the social scene in the Karoo.  It was a treat, a reward, and a way to welcome guests and bid farewell to friends.  Karoo food is as limitless as the land - vast, diverse, all consuming.  And like the land, the cuisine captivates visitors, enticing them back time and time again to experience the culinary delights.
the collection of recipes in The Karoo Cookbook portrays this region's diverse social fabric and, while some dishes such as Mutton Bredie and Venison Stew are rooted in tradition, others like Beef Fillet with Anchovy Stuffing or Karoo 'Oysters' with Wild Mushrooms and Red Wine Sauce are as modern and adventurous as tomorrow."
