From the author of the bestselling A Guide to Tidal Pools of the Western Cape, and co-authored with Matthew Dowling, comes a new book: A Guide to Wild Swimming in the Western Cape. It is both a love letter to nature and a practical companion for those drawn to wild swimming

In the winter of 1949, the Springboks and All Blacks clashed on rugby fields across southern Africa. It was a series that would change the course of South African rugby history. The tour was not just a battle for supremacy on the field, but a head-to-head confrontation of nations, rugby styles and emerging political realities.

At once a memoir, a celebration of French-inspired cooking, and a tribute to the wild, Dining with Elephants invites you to taste not just the meals but the magic of a life lived close to nature. Dining with Elephants is not your ordinary cookbook. It’s a feast of stories and flavours from the heart of the African bush, where French cuisine meets wild adventure.
