Flavors of Africa: Discover Authentic Family Recipes from All Over the Continent

This seems to be an excellent cookbook. My husband picked it up to look at and got all excited to make some of the dishes. I haven’t cooked any yet, we just got it, but the recipes look very clear and easy to understand, and the photos are lovely. It is more of a continental survey, don’t expect in-depth coverage of a single country, more of a sampler. I do like that the recipes and flavors seem distinct from each other, not the same thing over and over. Looking forward to using some of the recipes very soon!

The recipes are amazing. Everyone should buy this book.

Tried jollof rice and my Nigerian finace loved it!! The recipes are easy to follow with great photos. I also like the section that talks about stocking the pantry, since I'm learning all the blends of spices. This book lives up to it's name, giving a range of recipes from different parts of Africa. Would highly recommend!!

Really like the recipes but the book could have used a little more editing. Would also appreciate more insight into some of the more esoteric ingredients that are not readily available where I live.

This is a great book for the average American cook who wants to try making some international dishes. You don't have to completely restock your kitchen or know how to source lots of foods you don't usually buy. I tried recipes from this cookbook alongside recipes from another cookbook by a renowned restaurant chef. The ones by Aki were much easier and tasted just as good.

Excellent

colorful snd descriptive i found myself getting eager to try the food in the recipes. ..

I love this recipe book and I’ve been looking forever for an African cookbook. Clear & beautiful pictures of the meals, clear instructions with concise measurements. I really like Evi Aki’s introduction about her journey and how she became interested in cooking too (so relatable). She even includes pages about stocking your pantry for cooking African meals. Thank you so much for this book!
