INTERESTING AND WORTHWHILE DISHES

By D. Blankenship HALL OF FAMETOP 50 REVIEWER on September 25, 2008

Format: Spiral-bound

I can tell you, and I confess, right from the start, that I am not a big fan of most of the Time Life Book Series in any of the genres they publish in. I sort of lump them in with the Reader's Digest books that occupy thousands of basements and attacks in American. There are exceptions to every rule and prejudice though, and for me, this little book is one of them.

Recipes: African Cooking is part of the Foods of the World Series first published in 1970 and reprinted in 1974. They are rather small books in the form of spiral note books. The one I am reviewing here has only 144 pages and that includes index and note pages.

There are no fancy pictures in this book; a few black and white designs that really serve no function other than breaking up the chapters, and a few pages visually. In this case, that does not matter; it is the food that counts! I am, as is my wife, rather adventuresome as to our eating habits. We do have a few dishes, discovered and invented over the years, that are old standbys, but by and far we try our best never to have the same meal twice in any given month. There are very few dishes we will not try, very few dishes of national or ethnic origin we will not give at least one shot. As we have been eating for well over a half a century, (I am being kind to us here) we have had the opportunity to try and enjoy a lot of really "good stuff" as Maynard use to be told all of the time.

This little book gives a brief history (not very adequate, but a history, never-the-less) and goes on to cover soups, seafood, meat, poultry, rice, roots and legumes, vegetables, condiments, breads, desserts and preserves. Each recipe is quite specific as to preparation, garnishes and combinations.Read more ›

Pretty Good

By Jessie R. Smith Jr. on July 30, 2009

Format: Hardcover Verified Purchase

Book is a typical budget binding from Time-Life, this is not really negative to me as I have to live on the cheap a lot of the time. I collect African cookbooks and yes I do cook from them, mostly the spicy Ethiopian-Eritrean foods. The content is a pretty good overview of sections of Africa. To cover the entire cuisine rainbow of Africa would be like trying to cover all of China. Africa is not just one country, it is a continent. Don't think that this is a cookbook, it isn't, to get the recipes, you must find the spiral bound companion book. Both originally came in a cardboard slipcase together. I had to find the spiral bound too. But I think this book was well worth the 10.00. Forward to the Kitchen!
