More about the book!

Zola Nene is back, and better than ever!

Zola has become quite a force on the South African culinary scene, yet her personal quest to show people that cooking great food needn’t be pretentious or difficult continues in her new book.

Simply Delicious was a triumph and now, as Zola says herself, ‘My food journey is ever evolving and is a continuation of my life journey told through food,’ and Simply Zola is the mouth-watering result.

‘Dessert for one can be quite tricky to pull off, especially when all you crave is a piece of cake,’ Zola says.

‘It doesn’t make any sense to put the oven on and bake an entire cake just for yourself, so this mug cake is just the thing.

‘Mix everything in the bowl, blast in the microwave and that sweet craving is taken care of … until the next time!’
