In Mpophomeni, food is grown from the heart, meals are meant to be shared and stories are told with pride. In this book, we share our delight in seasonal produce with you. Food that celebrates the day, our families and the environment too. Naturally, this food is delicious.
Mnandi – a taste of Mpophomeni will inspire you to take part in the magical process of growing and preparing food that is good for you and good for the planet too.

“We are what we grow, cook and eat. Mpophomeni’s gardeners and cooks are an example of what South Africa can and should be. Through the pages of this delightful book, readers will come to love and admire a remarkable and resilient community. The recipes so generously offered are not only delicious but also inspiring and insightful – each one allows a reader to taste a piece of the story.”
Mnandi is flying off the shelves and into kitchens. Right now, we are cooking gorgeous organic beetroot from our gardens (in store at Dovehouse and Earth Mother too). Which Mnandi recipe are you cooking?
“Oh my word. Wow. So in love with the book! Seriously. I showed it to some of my staff and they got so excited. I’m quite amazed at how many of the plants I’ve been pulling out and throwing away, thinking that they are weeds, when in fact they are super nutritious and edible. A fantastic and brilliant effort! I feel so damn proud to say that I am South African!” Tash Palmboom
