4to; pictorial boards, lettered in gilt to spine; ribbon marker; pp. 192, incl. index; colour photographs of meals, people and settings.  Edges ever so slightly rubbed; earlier owner's name on front free endpaper.  Near-fine condition.  

"With a schedule as hectic as that of the South African president, it takes superior time management and innovative thinking to create healthy and flavoursome dishes for him.  Hilton Little, chef to the South African president, believes that everyone who sits down to his food should feel like a VIP.  It's the belief in good, old-fashioned South African hospitality that has made Hilton the first choice of both Mr Nelson Mandela and President Thabo Mbeki.  

Bon appétit, Mr President! is a collection of recipes that have been tried and tested during the past 11 years and includes both formal and informal dishes.  A special chapter is dedicated to international dishes that both Mr Mandela and President Mbeki have enjoyed on foreign state visits.  This book is one of a kind and a definite must-have for food lovers."
