Published by Citadel Press, 1997, illustrated, 232 pages, condition: very good.
The African Cookbook presents menus and recipes from eleven African countries, with serving hints and complete shopping lists, and includes additional recipes for appetizers, soups, fish, poultry, beef, side dishes, salads, breads, and desserts.

This cookbook was first published in 1970 and includes quite a lot of information about entertaining in several African countries, some of which no longer exist. I found these sections fascinating. I did cook a wide selection of recipes from this book, and a couple found their way into my favourites.

A very nice, entertaining cookbook. My first edition is from 1970 [this is the 1997 edition], so it references the Malagasy Republic, among other places, that are reminders of European colonization that once covered virtually the entire continent. The 11 countries examined are geographically diverse, and each has a "How dinner is served in ..." which gives the reader a better idea of culinary traditions. Additional appendices devoted to starches, fish, meat, etc., contain recipes from countries beyond the featured eleven. The menus are doable. Ingredients are not exotic, and substitutions are offered. These are very approachable menus.
