"Nokx Majozi's treasure trove is a combination of cherished South African recipes and her brilliant, imaginative takes on others. What a book!" Prue Leith

"This is Nokx's story, of how she sees the world and how food has impacted that world. She gives that insight with such honesty and realness. This book tells me so much about Nokx, and that's what makes the food and the recipes so much more special as it comes from her journey. In this world of information overload there's a comforting sense of place and meaning to this book. Thank you so much for sharing it." Reuben Riffel
