    About this ebook

    Vulture soup, anyone? Or how about some fried python with a side order of diesel-dipped dog biscuits?
    Specialised cooking – The Recce Way gives a unique perspective on the lives of South Africa's legendary Special Forces soldiers. The book combines tongue-in-cheek recipes with anecdotes of the men's experiences during the Border War, and up to 1997, putting the gruel into gruelling. It shows what it takes to live out of a rucksack for weeks on end and how to make do with what nature has to offer.
    Highlighting the scope of the activities of the first 25 years of the Special Forces, the book takes us from Durban to Langebaan, through Phalaborwa into the rest of Africa, and from the firing line to a braai on top of a submarine out at sea. Most importantly, it overflows with the Recce philosophy for excelling in adverse conditions – stay in the moment, adapt, adjust and just get on with it!
    WARNING: While most of the meals in this book are edible, some should never, ever, be repeated.

      Aug 5, 2024

      I wait patiently for moments like this all year. It hadn’t rained for days, so the river wasn’t running brown and the ocean was clear. There wasn’t one cloud in the sky and no wind, so the surface of the water was glassy and allowed me to see through
