Flavors of Africa: Discover Authentic Family Recipes from All Over the Continent

Excellent

This seems to be an excellent cookbook. My husband picked it up to look at and got all excited to make some of the dishes. I haven’t cooked any yet, we just got it, but the recipes look very clear and easy to understand, and the photos are lovely. It is more of a continental survey, don’t expect in-depth coverage of a single country, more of a sampler. I do like that the recipes and flavors seem distinct from each other, not the same thing over and over. Looking forward to using some of the recipes very soon!

colorful snd descriptive i found myself getting eager to try the food in the recipes. ..

Really like the recipes but the book could have used a little more editing. Would also appreciate more insight into some of the more esoteric ingredients that are not readily available where I live.

My family and I are always on the lookout for intensely flavorful recipes, and many of our recent favorites are African dishes. While searching for new recipes, I stumbled across the author’s site and quickly ordered her book. What a delight! Everything I have made from it has been absolutely scrumptious, and the harissa chicken on the cover is now my husband and son’s favorite meal. The directions are clear and most recipes are perfectly suitable for weeknight cooking. I can’t recommend it enough!

This is a well-written book with delicious recipes and high-quality pictures, and I'm glad I bought it. I recommend it to anyone exploring their kitchen repertoire and interested in trying out various authentic African cuisines. Buy it!

Tried jollof rice and my Nigerian finace loved it!! The recipes are easy to follow with great photos. I also like the section that talks about stocking the pantry, since I'm learning all the blends of spices. This book lives up to it's name, giving a range of recipes from different parts of Africa. Would highly recommend!!

Bought for a gift for someone who likes to cook, and try different foods.

gave this as a gift, but read it beforehand. easy to follow recipes, and 3 out 3 tested were delicious, as done by the recipient. great value and a wonderful book

Friendly table of contents and index. Beautiful photos. A pleasure to read

Bought for wife

Love this book. Great recipes that are broken out into different regions of Africa. Made a few dishes already and my son-in-law from Tanzania really enjoyed them.

Great recipes. Have enjoyed everything we have made from this book.
