‘Franschhoek Food’ on the table
Posted by Chris von Ulmenstein under Chris von Ulmenstein, Franschhoek, Restaurant news, Whale Cottage Portfolio, Wine news
A new coffee table book, called “Franschhoek Food” and written by Myrna Robbins, was launched in Franschhoek earlier this week.
Focusing on top Franschhoek restaurants, including Reubens, Haute Cabriere, Grande Provence, Bouillabaisse, La Residence, Genot and Dieu Donne, a number of recipes of each restaurant are included in the book. Each dish also has wine pairing suggestions.
Myrna Robbins is a wine writer for the Weekend Argus, started the Cape Town Slow Food Convivium, has published five other books, and contributes to ‘Fodor’s Guide to Southern Africa’.
“Franschhoek Food” is published by Random Struik and costs R 340.

My wife was recently visiting SA and desperately want’s this book. Could anyone please let me know where I can buy it. I’m in the USA but am willing to order it from anywhere.
Thanks in advance

Dear Michael
I suggest that you contact the publishers Random Struik. Exclusive Books, a chain of bookstores, stocks the book. Our equivalent of Amazon is http://www.kalahari.net - maybe they stock it.
I hope this helps
Chris
