Produktbeschreibung

In Upwards, Karen Dudley invites us on a culinary journey that transcends the ordinary, encouraging us to look up to what is true and essential - living simply and well. In this follow-up to Onwards, Karen, with her signature warmth and insight, shares how the act of cooking can - and should be - a letting go of life's daily preoccupations, a way to connect with ourselves and others, by paying attention to the pleasure and enjoyment of cooking something beautiful, delicious and even surprising. Sharing recipes from a vibrant palette of flavours, Upwards lifts Karen's loyal community towards the next level - to learn new skills, to look up to quality over quantity and to pay attention to the splendour that can come from the meditative act of cooking. Upwards is thus a call to be inspired, to create and to connect, all the time looking up, up, up, as we invite into our kitchens new dishes, new flavours and new possibilities.

Autorenporträt

Karen Dudley is a South African chef, food writer and former restaurateur. She is best known for her iconic restaurant, The Kitchen, in Woodstock, Cape Town, a meeting point for creativity and connection. It was visited by former First Lady Michelle Obama in June 2011. Karen Dudley came to the world of food writing along a meandering path. From a historical mansion in Washington DC, via a galley kitchen in London's Chelsea, a monastic stint running a grand old house in Constantia, to opening the lunch spot on the streets of bad old Woodstock. Since the Covid-19 pandemic forced The Kitchen's closure, Karen has been putting her creative energies into developing menus for other South African restaurants that have embraced movement towards vegetable-centric dishes. She is also working in television, is a judge for the 2022 Eat Out Woolworths Restaurant Awards, and continues to write about food and whatever else is on her mind.
