Food is so much more than just fuel. It’s pleasure. It’s comfort. It’s connection. It’s culture
and tradition. It’s celebration. In the same way, Paradise is so much more than just a
cookbook. It’s indulgent. It’s decadent. It’s vibrant. It’s unapologetically rich. It’s tropical.
It’s African but also global. It’s all about good food – the kind that makes you forget
everything else for a moment.
Much of today’s messaging around food instils us with feelings of guilt or shame simply
for enjoying what we eat. With Paradise, Kenneth encourages us to let our hair down, to
embrace moments of indulgence, to occasionally treat ourselves and our loved ones. Go
ahead, eat that cake. Celebrate friendships with pizza and red wine. Say yes to extra
cheese and that second helping.
The recipes in Paradise are as varied as they are easy and delicious. Experiencing and
appreciating the flavours and traditions of a variety of cultures, both regionally and
internationally, has given Kenneth a unique outlook on food, allowing him to fuse various
culinary traditions to create something truly distinctive. From traditional southern
African dishes such as seswaa, mokwetjepe, magwinya and Cape Malay curry to global
favourites such as Jamaican oxtail, Korean fried chicken, Vietnamese pho and Mississippi
mud pie, Paradise takes classics you know and love, and elevates them to their full
potential – using quality ingredients, better techniques and a deep respect for flavour.
So be inspired. Be empowered. Explore the art of cooking and discover the pleasure it
can bring to your life as you enter Paradise...
