Paradise: For Those Who Live to Eat

Food is so much more than just fuel. It’s pleasure. It’s comfort. It’s connection. It’s culture and tradition. It’s celebration. In the same way, Paradise is so much more than just a cookbook. It’s indulgent. It’s decadent. It’s vibrant. It’s unapologetically rich. It’s tropical. It’s African but also global. It’s all about good food – the kind that makes you forget everything else for a moment.Much of today’s messaging around food instils us with feelings of guilt or shame simply for enjoying what we eat. With Paradise, Kenneth encourages us to let our hair down, to embrace moments of indulgence, to occasionally treat ourselves and our loved ones. Go ahead, eat that cake. Celebrate friendships with pizza and red wine. Say yes to extra cheese and that second helping.The recipes in Paradiseare as varied as they are easy and delicious. Experiencing and appreciating the flavours and traditions of a variety of cultures, both regionally and internationally, has given Kenneth a unique outlook on food, allowing him to fuse various culinary traditions to create something truly distinctive. From traditional southern African dishes such as seswaa, mokwetjepe, magwinya and Cape Malay curry to global favourites such as Jamaican oxtail, Korean fried chicken, Vietnamese pho and Mississippi mud pie, Paradise takes classics you know and love, and elevates them to their full potential – using quality ingredients, better techniques and a deep respect for flavour. So be inspired. Be empowered. Explore the art of cooking and discover the pleasure it can bring to your life as you enter Paradise… Read more
