Authentic African Recipes!

Home to hundreds of tribes and ethnic groups, there is a great deal of diversity in African cuisine-- in the use of basic ingredients as well as the manner of preparation and cooking techniques. A variety of recipes are presented in this book for the reader to sample from different regions and countries. The African kitchen is traditionally outside or in a separate building apart from the sleeping and living quarters. By far the most traditional and to this day the most common sight in an African kitchen is a large swing black pots filled with meat, vegetables, and spices simmering over a fire. The pot usually sits on three stones arranged in a triangle, and the fire slowly consumes three pieces of wood that meet at a point under the pot. Bon Apetit! African style
