WRITE-ON Publishing of St Francis Bay will soon release a reproduction and reprint of the iconic 1990’s St Francis Bay recipe books A Taste of St Francis and A Second Taste of St Francis, originally produced by the St Francis Bay Friendship Club in 1993 and 1996 respectively.
The two booklets are being combined into one volume: A Taste of St Francis, and in contrast to the quaint typed and photocopied originals, the book will be a high-quality, modern, professionally typeset and bound book.
The book contains dozens of recipes, ranging from the sublime to the simple, all submitted by St Francis Bay residents of the day – all their names will appear in the book. It also contains anecdotes and reminiscences by St Francis Bay residents about life in the village and its history. The book is illustrated by dozens of simple, almost primitive, line drawings.
At the request of the original compiler of the books, Yvonne Bosman, whose brainchild this project is, part of the proceeds of the sale of the books will be donated to the Kromme Enviro-Trust, which fully endorses the project.
The book may be pre-ordered from the Write-On Publishing website, http://writeonpublishing.co.za/index.php/the-store, at a special pre-production price of R120 – retail price will be R150 once the book is printed.
Any companies interested in advertising in the book are asked to contact Frank at frank@writeonpublishing.co.za.
In addition to it being available online, Village Superspar in St Francis Bay has agreed to stock the books once they have been produced.
