Gordon Wright is an author, chef and raconteur based in the Great Karoo. The youngest of eight

an ex-restaurateur, the founder of the Karoo Convivia and a member of the national executive of

two sons, Jason and Max, and a massive family of siblings, friends and pets. And he just loves a fire
and to braai, of course.
