If sharing is caring then Marlene Van Der Westhuizen has certainly opened her heart with her latest cookery book, Abundance.
Brimming with luscious photos by Johan Wilke, it abounds in mouth-watering delights and little heartfelt suggestions on ways to enjoy her food and to live fully in the Mother City.

Containing only a few recipes that would not be successful in my clumsy hands, it’s not just a cookery book, but a love story that takes the reader on a journey through a city that provides such a brilliant and varied landscape.

"Come with me on a journey through this hauntingly exquisite city at the foot of Table Mountain. Share a glimpse of the places where I love to prepare and savour the abundant meals that are part of our lives in Cape Town." Says Marlene.

What to try for the budding beginner:
The tomato tarts with pesto look so sweet and appealing and are remarkably easy to get right. Pair them with a fresh Sauvignon Blanc from Brampton.

What to try for the cooking connoisseur:
Ginger-poached pear and brandy tart would go down perfectly with a special late harvest from Nederburg
