The African Cookbook

A national food magazine editor for years, gifted cook, lecturer, and restaurant consultant, the late Bea Sandler traveled throughout Africa collecting recipes and learning about African eating customs and methods of food preparation. Here are menus for complete meals from 11 African countries: Senegal, the Sudan, Mozambique, the Malagasy Republic, Ethiopia, Kenya, Liberia, South Africa, Morocco, Ghana, and Tanzania. She has devoted a chapter to each country, telling something about the food and serving customs and offering suggestions on how an American might present an African meal with some degree of authenticity and arranged by courses.
