REVIEWS
"Because of its cross-continental approach, the cookbook tackles staples that highlight different regions’ flavors and cooking styles. It includes breads like Ethiopia’s spongy injera, the Indian-influenced chapati popular in other parts of eastern Africa, and even sweet beignets. Its side dishes range from the tomato-forward jollof rice of western regions to a vermicelli with Spanish cashews that comes from the Middle East and represents a fusion of cuisines." -- Jeff Fleischer, Foreword Reviews
