Taste of Eritrea: Recipes from One of East Africa's Most Interesting Little Countries (New Hippocrene Original Cookbooks) - Hardcover
Synopsis
Eritrea, a beautiful, small country in north-east Africa, won its independence from Ethiopia in 1991. Influenced by many occupying and neighbouring cultures, Eritrea's cuisine includes fruits and vegetables brought by the Italians, chili peppers from the Turks, European style beer from the British, a traditional bean stew from the Egyptians, and many staples from Ethiopian cuisine. Here are over 100 easy-to-follow recipes that will allow home chefs to bring a real 'taste of Eritrea' to their tables. The author's informative and insightful introduction, which covers aspects of Eritrean history, culture and traditions, also offers the reader a fascinating look at this lovely country.

Review
Taste of Eritrea provides 100 recipes and a substantial amount of background on this little-known country on the eastern coast of Africa. The cooking of Eritrea shows strong influences from such diverse regions as neighboring Ethiopia, former ruler Italy, Turkey, and England. From Ethiopia comes the use of berberé, a fiery blend of red chilies, garlic, ginger and other aromatic spices; ghee, a kind of clarified butter seasoned with ginger and a distinctive blend of other ingredients, including celery seed and fenugreek; and ingera, a sourdough flatbread made from wheat flour or teff, a local grain. This dish of towel-size, spongy bread is used as both plate and eating utensil by Eritreans. Like the Ethiopians, they eat with their hands, tearing off pieces of this moist bread and using it to convey every bite of food to their mouth.
It may seem odd to find pizza and lasagna in an African cookbook, but while few Italians remain in their country, Eritreans still eat spaghetti, drink espresso, and love Macedonia di Frutta, a mixed fruit salad served everywhere. Easy dishes likely to please include Alicha, a mixed vegetable curry; spiced Eritrean Doughnuts; and Doro Zigni, a spicy chicken stew akin to the incendiary wats of Ethiopia. Author Olivia Warren opens Taste of Eritrea with a good description of the country, its history, and culture. Anyone planning a trip there will also find it somewhat useful as a travel guide. --Dana Jacobi
