Some of these recipes from Tony Jackman’s Karoo kitchen are traditional, others are adapted, and yet others are his own invention: from skilpadjies, boontjiesop and tomato bredie to ginger chicken roasted in a potjie, parmesan gem squash, Karoo ice creams and prickly pear syrup. Jackman also revisits cookery classics by C Louis Leipoldt, S.J.A. de Villiers and others, tracking down the histories and variations of dishes such as waterblommetjiebredie, hoenderpastei and tipsy tart.

Journalist, food writer and playwright Tony Jackman is the food editor of Daily Maverick, the writer of its popular food column, ‘TGIFood’, and the author of the cookbook foodSTUFF (2017). In 2021 he was named Galliova Food Champion for his food writing.
