Mother Africa's Table : A Chronicle of Celebration

Summary: Fabulous and easy to prepare dishes add spice and soul!
Review: Originally, I borrowed this book from the library and it was so good I just purchased a copy! I've read many cookbooks over the years, but I find this one to be exceptional in many ways. First, it's bound like ALL cookbooks should be (spiral), so it lies flat. Second, the recipes are easy to follow and use common ingredients. Third, the food is GOOD! I've made ginger beer, jollof rice (which has become a family favorite), Nigerian Chicken, and a few other dishes that were all hits! Even the spicier foods were winners with the kids. I especially enjoy the fact that there are African American dishes included that bring back fond childhood memories. This book would make a great gift and I plan on giving it to several friends that are getting married soon (as well as for Kwanzaa!).
