Items related to Once Upon a Chicken Pie: and Other Food Tales
Definitely a cookbook with a difference, Once Upon a Chicken Pie and Other Food Tales comprises a collection of stories around the food, personalities and occasions that inspired the featured recipes. Based on the travels of authors Johan de Villiers and Len Straw through Greece, Morocco, Turkey, South Africa, Zanzibar and the US, and reflecting their love of the unusual, the funny, the whimsical and great food, each chapter is named after a traditional nursery rhyme with a relevant food theme.
This cookbook travelogue is liberally peppered with an array of mementos in the form of travel snaps, maps and some original handwritten recipes to accompany the fabulous food photography. Johan is a raconteur par excellence and, together with Len, brings the tales to life with inspirational recipes that will delight even the most jaded of armchair cooks (and travellers) and entice them into the kitchen.

About the Author:
JOHAN DE VILLIERS and LEN STRAW co-authored two books on paint techniques many years ago and are well known for their contribution to the food and décor of La Residence in Franschhoek. They may currently be tracked down to their wonderful French-style sidewalk café, la Petite Tart, in Cape Town’s trendy Cape Quarter.
Review:
"Once Upon A Chicken Pie and Other Food Tales by Johan de Villiers and Len Straw is the perfect cook book for anyone who loves to read about good food and the places the dishes were created. The authors, through beautifully descriptive writing and tantalizing photography have created a book for all the senses and the imaginagtion. With 70 recipes for their favorite dishes from childhood through their world travels through Greece, Turkey, Egypt, France, Morocco, Cyprus, and South Africa, they have compiled this book with each chapter named for a favorite Nursery Rhyme. Reading this cook book not only gives great inspiration for creating special dishes but it also recalls warm, homey memories of childhood's deep security and love generously given through food. And you'll enjoy the authors' many personal travel tales each dish recalls. You'll love this book!" (Bonnie Neely Real Travel Adventures)
