Recipes from our Garden

THE JOY OF KNOWING WHERE YOUR FOOD COMES FROM.
Recipes From Our Organic Garden is a collection of beautiful recipes, hand-crafted by Antonia De Luca, owner of Leafy Greens Café and Shop in Muldersdrift. The inspiration for the book was born from a passion for homemade recipes that have been handed down through her family’s enchanting heritage. This delightful recipe book belongs on the recipe stand of anyone who cares about the food they eat and where it comes from.

Antonia was brought up a vegetarian and has lived on the organic farm at Rocky Ridge for most of her life. She has always been involved in her family restaurant but wanted to do things slightly differently and hence opened Leafy Greens Café, after traveling the USA extensively and studying nutrition and health. Her passion and love for eating well and making good food will carry her family legacy on for generations to come.

This book comprises of recipes from the increasingly well-known Leafy Greens Café, which shares its premises with the famed Casalinga Restaurant. The book shares some of the exciting delights that have helped make Leafy Greens Café into a well-respected and celebrated vegan-friendly, plant-based seasonal food getaway. Recipes From Our Organic Garden is a collection of exciting recipes showcasing the years of collective knowledge and experience Antonia has acquired. Recipes include the famous vegan strawberry cheesecake, chickpea curry, spinach croquettes and the ever-delicious goji berry bars. There is a recipe to cater for every meal. The book is filled with beautifully photographed dishes, which entice the senses by just looking at.

The book is a sharing of love that Antonia has for organic, homegrown, plant-based, vegan friendly food and the produce that goes into making it. To love or be in-love means that you have a sense of underlying oneness with something- and that is exactly what this book depicts.
