The African Kitchen - Josie Stow & Jan Baldwin

African food is like a safari, a journey of discovery. Like the continent's landscape and wonderful people, African food is bold and colourful, with rich earthy flavours and strong spicy undertones. The African Kitchen is the first book to combine the thrill of the safari with the excitement of pan-African cooking. Chef Josie Stow is at the forefront of this fashionable style, and here takes readers through a typical day in the life of a safari kitchen, from wake-up call to nightcaps. Just like safari participants you can enjoy a ranger's breakfast, game drive picnics, cocktails at sundown, glamorous evening banquets, and a traditional Sengalese feast complete with hand washing ceremony. In the home kitchen this translates into recipes for all meal occasions, using readily available ingredients such as chicken, corn, couscous, chiles and coriander, but combining them in delicious and exciting new ways. Josie's amusing stories of safari life and Jan Baldwin's inspirational photography make this book as much a pleasure to read as it is to cook from: within a few chapters you will be itching to phone the travel agent.
