Love & Lobola

R550.00

From first meals together and cooking for the parents to hosting friends and date night, along with the food served over the lobola weekend, and more, this cookbook tells a story that goes beyond ingredients or techniques.

‘This is not just a cookbook – it’s a love story you can taste, where every recipe becomes a chapter in Neo’s journey from first meeting to forever. With rare intimacy and honesty, she invites us into moments so personal they feel almost sacred, reminding us that food is how we say “I love you” without words. This is a story of love, told through fire, flavour and feeling. And once you step into it, you’ll never cook (or love) the same way again.’ Anele Mdoda

Love & Lobola

A MODERN AFRICAN ROMANCE TOLD IN RECIPES AND RITUALS. BY @dinewithneo

‘Love & Lobola honours the meals that shaped our love story. Modern love often feels disconnected from heritage. These recipes show that you can be contemporary, well-travelled, curious, adventurous – and still be deeply rooted in tradition. In our kitchen, chakalaka can sit beside a French style cordon bleu chicken. Umngqusho can share a table with crusty Lazy Boy beer bread. A December sheep roasted over fire can be followed by a delicate apple galette. Our love is layered. So is our food.’

From first meals together and cooking for the parents to hosting friends and date night, along with the food served over the lobola weekend, and more, this cookbook tells a story that goes beyond ingredients or techniques.
