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

Atlanta food blogger Aki (of Evi Eats) takes a deep dive into cuisine from all over the continent in this collection of flavor-packed African fare. She includes a wide variety of dishes, including such street food as spicy beef kebabs, classics like doro wat (an Ethiopian chicken stew), shakshuka (a spicy tomato-based stew with eggs), Senegalese fried fish balls in a spicy tomato sauce, a luscious coconut potato soup from Tanzania called supu viazi, and a must-try North African potato salad flavored with a blend of coriander, cinnamon, garlic, cardamom, turmeric, and yogurt. Readers will appreciate the inclusion of the Gatsby—a popular Cape Town sandwich made of bologna, ketchup, peri peri sauce, french fries, and lettuce—as well as an upgrade on grilled cheese that incorporates tomatoes, Gruyère, and mango chutney. Ingredients are easily sourced and the dishes generally come together with a minimum of effort; even kitchen novices will find the recipes well within their abilities. This cookbook is a terrific resource for armchair travelers interested in adding new flavors and dishes to their repertoire. [em](Dec.) [/em]
