Tastes of Africa
Tastes of Africa seeks to counter a perception that African cooking is merely a meat-and-two-veg deal, perhaps accompanied by some sort of arbitrary soup and eaten with an uninspiring gravy. Certainly meat, fish and poultry are staples; however in many parts of rural Africa these commodities are relatively easy to obtain and as such have been responsible for the tasty simplicity of its varied traditional dishes. Spiced with easy-to-make recipes, Tastes of Africa is more than just another African cookbook, it's a richly-illustrated hymn to the cuisine, culture and traditions of a continent whose variety, natural hospitality and generosity of spirit are as high, wide and handsome as the sun that travels the hot, timeless and hammered blue-chrome sky that arches overhead.
