Simply Seven Colours

Zola Nene is back with a third book, this time celebrating the diverse cultural heritage of South Africans through the wonderful tradition of sharing meals. In Simply Seven Colours, Zola gives praise to the uniquely South African seven-colour (or several-colour) concept with a selection of more simply delicious recipes that tap into the heart of our food nostalgia, with a focus on going back to basics. The idea of Simply Seven Colours is for you to create your own unique seven-colour menu, by picking recipes from different chapters or ‘colours’. From green, yellow, orange, brown, white, red, a rainbow of colours and, of course, desserts to round off your seven-colour meal, this book is sure to continue bringing you simply delicious joy.
