Cooking with Canned Pilchards

Canned pilchards, the hero ingredients of this fabulous little cookbook, are one of the top five ingredients in South Africa, and beloved by the broadest spectrum of cooks. Working with recipes gleaned over many years by the Lucky Star Marketing Department, Lannice Snyman has selected, fine-tuned and thoroughly tested 22 of the very best. Never forgetting the basic, homely appeal of the core product, recipes are simple and easy to prepare, yet nourishing and with great eye appeal. The consulting editor is the well-known cookbook author and Cookery Editor of True Love magazine, Dorah Sitole, who has contributed some of her favourite canned pilchard recipes for the book.

To broaden the appeal further, COOKING WITH CANNED PILCHARDS is crammed with hints and tips on nutrition, and brings to life the process of catching and canning pilchards, evocatively photographed at the factory at St Helena Bay on the Cape West Coast.

Each recipe is given a double-page spread. To add interest and visual appeal, several smaller pics highlights ingredients used in the recipe.
