If anyone knows how to braai, it is Jan. He has braaied with thousands of South Africans, almost every day since the launch of National Braai Day. And he knows what people want to know about braaing.

This is more than a recipe book – it is an instruction manual for braaing – from steak, to the perfect braaied chicken and lamb chops. For the adventurous you could try rack of lamb or lamb on a spit!

South Africa celebrates National Braai Day on 24 September every year. A day for all the citizens of South Africa to unite around braai fires with family and friends. The driving force behind this initiative is a man known as Jan Braai.
