INTRODUCTION A 97 year-old South African organisation with a purpose to nourish and nurture more lives everyday, Tiger Brands is a leading FMCG company determined to be a good corporate citizen that contributes to the building of a renewable and sustainable future. Through their Socio-Economic Development (SED) programme, Tiger Brands works to tackle the prevailing challenges of malnutrition and food insecurity in South Africa. Tiger Brands SED strategy is rooted in a dual support system of food provision and capacity building, with the latter designed to empower communities to sustainably access food. Although this shift to sustainability is a key component of their SED agenda, Tiger Brands Nutrition Support Programme continues to meet the immediate need of hunger and malnutrition by providing nutrientdense and fortified foods to more than 30 000 impoverished South Africans each month. These food hampers have been specifically designed to support the dietary needs of families, while a student food hamper was also developed to meet the nutritional requirements of South African university students. This recipe book was designed with these very beneficiaries in mind, to encourage innovation in the use of the contents of the food hampers that they receive each month. Designed by Tiger Brands employees to be easy and nutritious, each recipe has been tried and tested. It is hoped that the beneficiaries and communities supported by Tiger Brands love these recipes as much as we do.
