Unlike most other Karoo cookery collections which only have recipes from one tradition, Essop has gathered together recipes and remedies whose origins are long intertwined. These tried and tested recipes have been handed down from generation to generation over the past 200 years and blend San, Xhosa, Dutch, British, French, Greek, Portuguese, Indian, Eastern and Jewish heritage.
