  Presented as a journal-cum-photo-album, Flavours of Africa is the first book to combine the thrill of the outdoors with the excitement of pan-African cooking. African food is bold and colourful, with rich, earthly textures and strong, spicy undertones. It is natural and honest, without pretence. Arab merchants, European colonists and Malay slaves have all influenced Africa's native cooking, resulting in a cuisine diverse and yet simple to prepare. Familiar ingredients: chicken, chillies, corn, couscous, fish, peanuts, plantain and potatoes, all widely available in today's supermarkets are combined in delicious and fun new ways.In the home kitchen this translates into ideas for all meal occasions: breakfast and brunch dishes, picnic and barbecue food, lunchbox ideas, soups, salads, snacks, party hors d'oeuvres and cocktails, plus breads, desserts and sweet baking.

  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. Josie Stow takes us through a day in the life of a safari kitchen, from breakfast to nightcaps - you can enjoy game drive picnics, glamourous evening banquets, and a traditional Sengalese feast complete with hand washing ceremony. These meals can easily be re-created at home for all occasions. Ingredients such as chicken, corn, couscous, chillies and coriander are all readily available, but can be combined in new and exciting ways to create a truly African flavour.
