The Newcomers and their Friends, by South African apple experts Henk Griessel and Buks Nel, reads like a fascinating whodunnit, uncloaking some of the interesting and sometimes controversial histories of varieties. Who, for example, was the first to plant Golden Delicious in South Africa? Ms. Kathleen Murray, you wonder, perhaps or perhaps not. Where did Nicoter, the tree from which Kanzi® apples come get its name? What’s more, you might also be wrong if you think you know where the PinkLady® name came from. The answer is in the book, along with the recipe for the Pink Lady cocktail. In this book, there are more than one cocktail recipe and more than one artist who bred apples. Anyone interested in apples and their history will love it.
