our latest recipes
AT FOODIES OF SOUTH AFRICA,
We wash the dishes but never fold the vadoek... that's right, the kitchen is never closed.
We sweat over creating recipes that use local ingredients, kitchen gadgets that you don’t need a PhD to operate, and ingredients you can actually pronounce, like Worcestershire sauce. Mzansi, we’ve opened our kitchen to you, the everyday home cooks that have your guests cleaning the bone (and plate) so good, it would make your parents proud.
So whether you’re here to browse for inspiration, binge-watch, or finally cook those recipes you’ve been saving for the last 7 years, welcome home.
our latest cookbook
This beautifully bold book is split into two sections: Sweet and Savoury, because balance is everything. Each page features a Foodies of SA fan-favourite recipe plus a QR code, so you can jump straight into kitchens across the country and watch everyday South Africans bring these dishes to life, with all the chaos, charm, and flavour you love.
🍒 The cherry on top? All royalties from the book go straight to Bokamoso and Breadline Africa, helping build a brighter, fuller future for the next generation.
4.7 Star Rating on Takealot
OMG this is my favourite cookbook ever, I have been encouraging moms and dads to buy this because it’s perfect for snack time, meals kids can do and also desserts. As a mom who’s actively in the kitchen with kids who love baking, this is perfect. I give my kids the book to choose a recipe they want us to try and I must say, you’ll never run out ideas even for hosting. I love it and I love this for the creators who have been part of the recipes as well. Such a South African flavour book.

Even with recipes easily available on line, this book is worth it. I like the simplicity of these local recipes together with scannable links to video tutorials.

I received my book yesterday, the recipes are like a dream I'm so happy I have them now to prepare for Christmas. But the best part of the book, you can the QR code nd the picture recipe comes alive with a video tutorial recipe video. I absolutely love this book. Thank you Foodies and thank you Takealot
