Bundu Food for the African Bush – Whether you are going fishing, camping, hiking or even for that extended 4 X 4 safari trip to some location that is only a bunch of numbers without a name, decipherable only by your Garmin, then you must have this exquisite cooking “biblette” with you. Thank you baked beans, although you have kept outdoorsmen alive for centuries you’re no longer number 1 when it comes to bush-tucker. From the comprehensive kitchen packing and grocery list, to the 10 day meal plan, to the many loved favourites and many new recipes that are simple and easy to prepare on the fire or gas burner, there is nothing that you might need more in order to rough it in the bush. This well thought out book not only caters to the braai lovers but also for vegetarians and those with a lesser palate for meat, meat and some more meat. To top it all, mouth watering deserts that will tame even the toughest hiker-climber-hunter-gathererfisherman. What a refreshing take on outdoor cooking as we know it! A must have if you wish to survive the harshest outdoors in style.
