Verdict: carrot
PRUE Leith’s name is synonymous with cooking, she’s been British Businesswoman of the Year, the Queen of England gave her an OBE (Order of the British Empire), and she’s chairwoman of the UK School Food Trust. Yet what really gets her steaming is writing novels.
She’s sitting in a luscious Johannesburg garden wearing a chic, mandarin-hued jacket over a silk tunic on a sweltering summer’s day, looking the epitome of cool and svelte .
But she emerges as incredibly human, a questionable attribute in someone who’s achieved so much, so consistently throughout her life. Her eyes mist as she recalls the misery of the death of her husband, Rayne Kruger, and her struggle to come to terms with being a widow. A fellow author, he wrote the blockbuster, Good-bye Dolly Gray.
