The much awaited Mma Ramotswe’s Cookbook is finally here!
At Redbush Tea we are really delighted to see that Redbush Tea features
not only on the front cover but also in the book’s recipes and content -
what southern African cookbook could possibly ignore rooibos!

As Alexander McCall Smith says in his foreword the book contains "exactly the sort of food that we can imagine gracing the table as Mma Ramotswe sits down to dinner with Mr J.L.B.Matekoni and the children after a hard day’s work in the No. 1 Ladies’ Detective Agency and Tlokweng Road Speedy Motors."

Just to wet your appetites we have a small extract from the book which Stuart has kindly let us use and also there are a couple of recipes from the book for you to try before you buy this wonderful book.

"How fortunate, also, she reflected, tasting the stew that was thickening nicely, to be a traditionally built lady, at ease in one’s own skin, free to enjoy home-made biscuits with
Mma Makutsi or some of the persuasive fruitcake of the indomitable Matron of the Orphan
Farm, Mma Potokwani. Tea went so well with all of these foods and gave one time to think,
it really did, particularly when the tea in question was Redbush."

"Redbush Tea is essential to Mma Ramotswe who says that it gives
you time to think and is a temporary solution to life’s problems."
