‘Love & Lobola: A

Modern African Romance Told in Recipes and Rituals’

Food is often at the heart of our love stories, from that first meal together to the dishes that bring two

families around one table. For popular cook, entrepreneur and content creator Neo Nontso, widely

known as Dine with Neo, those moments inspire her second cookbook, titled ‘Love & Lobola: A Modern African Romance Told in Recipes and Rituals’. Blending personal memories with recipes, Neo takes us from meeting her husband at a braai to cooking for her in-laws, celebrating lobola and embracing marriage and motherhood.
