Stan Engelbrecht

Over a period of 18 months, the Cape Town based photographer Stan Engelbrecht travelled across South Africa knocking on the front doors of family homes and asking people about their favourite recipes.

Over one hundred families opened their doors to the photographer and shared their recipes with him. The result of this project is a visual record of the people he met on the trip, their homes and hand written recipes of their favourite meal.

In 2005 the completed project was turned into a book African Salad, that has been a big success in South Africa. For the first time African Salad has been produced into an exhibition especially for the Hereford Photography Festival.
