StorieKos is much more than just another cookbook. In StorieKos, Frik invites you to join him on a journey from the Karoo to Cairo and Russia to Rome. It’s a culinary travel memoir in which he shares his passion for “peasant food” or rural cuisine – recipes, stories from people, and experiences he has collected over nearly four decades. He shares the simplicity and honesty of dishes that have stood the test of time and have been adapted over the years in the kitchens of generations of home cooks. All over the world, people have welcomed him into their homes and hearts, shared the secrets of old family recipes, and taught him to cook their dishes alongside them. If you love travel, people and their stories—and above all, cooking—this book is for you.
