Dragonfly Teas - Cooking with Rooibos

Cooking with Rooibos

With culinary roots stretching to Europe, Asia and across Africa, and produce from a bountiful coast and a myriad of climates, eating in South Africa can be both delicious and surprising. We were delighted to have been sent the recently produced rooibos cookbook, ‘A Touch of Rooibos’, a compilation of recipes from fourteen of South Africa’s leading chefs.

They all regard rooibos as an important ingredient, complementing and intensifying the natural flavours of food, making perfect bases for marinades, sauces, soups and stocks.

From nearly 100 recipes, we have selected a few. Simply click a particular dish below for full details:
