Rated 4 starsA good book, but it shouldn't be your only African cookbook
It is hard to complain about a book that is so well written and attractively put together. Ms. Harris has done a very good job, and this is a welcome addition to the small (but growing) collection of African cookbooks. Many African dishes (e.g., Poulet Yassa or Groundnut Stew) deserve to be as well known as classic dishes from Europe, Asia, or the Americas, and Ms. Harris is doing something to make make these dishes...

Rated 5 starsA fascinating--and appetizing--synthesis of food and culture
Jessica Harris is a national treasure. This is so much more than a cookbook, though it is certainly an excellent representative of that genre. In Harris's works, you get a palpable sense of the foods of Africa, but also the spirits and culture with which each recipe and dish is interwoven. I'm an unabashed fan. If only I could cook.
