Synopsis:
Africa is synonymous with adventure - a land of wild animals, colorful traditions and natural splendor. The African Kitchen is a culinary and visual feast, a food lover's tour of this fascinating continent.
Chef Josie Stow here combines the thrill of the safari with the excitement of pan-African cooking. She uses today's most popular ingredients in exciting combinations with recipes for all occasions. Whether you are looking for a quick lunch or leisurely supper, breakfast or snack dishes, new ideas for the barbecue or recipes for a lavish dinner party, The African Kitchen will provide inspiration and enjoyment.
Reviews:
In this unusual and thoroughly entertaining book, Stow, Roald Dahl's former private chef (and author of Recipes from Gypsy House, detailing that period in her life), and photographer Baldwin provide a vivid portrait of their stay at an African safari reserve, from "Wake-Up, Rise and Shine" to "Dinner Under the Camel Thorn Trees." When Stow first took over the kitchen at a game preserve in South Africa, she found that most such establishments were serving European-style food. Drawing on the knowledge and experience of the cooks working with her, she developed a repertoire of traditional and modern African dishes, such as Bresaola-Style Venison and Roast Vegetable Pizzas with Harissa (cooked in an oven made from "a vacated termite mound"). Beautiful photographs of African nightcapes, people, and Stow's food illustrate the text. Highly recommended.
