Sally Simson has been active in the Cape winelands for many years as a journalist and has come to know well the vineyards and the wine cellars, and the people who live and work here. It is around the table that wine, food and friendship have forged unforgettable bonds. This is a cookery book with a difference: Sally Simson deals as much with the wine farms, their histories and homesteads, as with the food and wine that were part and parcel of the good times and lovely places that she recalls. The Cape of Good Cooks invites other wine and food lovers to share in some very individual recipes and the special ambience of the Cape winelands.
