Chef Mel moved from South Africa to sunny Brisbane where she opened Vanilla Zulu in 2011, bringing her big smile and happy nature with her.  She has just published her book of recipes, tips and hacks to help you create magic in your own kitchen.  The book is written in her endearing style, with plenty of quirkiness, but provides solid information and tips for the confident cook and the culinary novice.  You will find dozens of quickie recipes, and innovative ideas for meals. The recipe for Magical Moroccan Mince with pistachios and date gravel inspured this reviewer to take the brave step of letting the mince do its own thing without stirring on a high heat, until the meat became brown and luscious. I now find myself using this technique often when cooking a protein.  As does the hubby!
