3.0 out of 5 stars
3 stars, could have been so much more,
This review is from: African Cooking (Paperback)
This book gives a good overview on such a vast continent of cuisines. The book is divided into dishes found continent wide and regional specialties. It also handily divides ingredient quantities into american, metric and imperial.The recipes are pretty simple and sometimes use exotic ingredients which are hard to come by. The results are nice enough but do seem authentic. A major gripe however is the use of something called mixed spice in this book. What this is is unknown as the book never defines it, so you are left wondering what the hell to do with this seemingly vital ingerdient. It is also used for recipes across many nations and I severely doubt all these different countries use the same 'mixed spice' blend, indicating lazy editing and research. Overall I much prefer other African cookbooks like Dorinda Hafners book or the best of african cooking. And what the hell is with the $1500 new book price on here at the time I typed this review! |
