The Recipes of Africa eBook brings together the cuisines of the entire continent of Africa to present you a view of the cookery and recipes of the entire continent in a single source with over 800 recipes from each and every country on the continent.

When people think of cooking and Africa images of fires in the bush and cooking stews in tin pots generally come to mind. Or people think exclusively of the tagines and highly-fragranced dishes of North Africa.

Both views are true but are also incredibly limited in their scope... Africa is a huge continent, divided into the regions of North Africa, West Africa, Central Africa, East Africa and Sothern Africa. Each has it's own specific traditions and cooking techniques and reveals a breadth of cookery that few people know about.

The Recipes of Africa eBook brings together the cuisines of an entire continent. It describes the regions of Africa, lists the countries and gives brief information about them before presenting recipes from each and every country. In all over 800 recipes are given and these range from drinks through main meals and desserts to cakes and cookies.

Learn the many ways of using Okra and find the original dishes that gave rise to gumbo and 'greens' recipes in the Americas.

Here you will find familiar recipes from North Africa and truly native dishes from Central Africa. Many of the recipes come from the author's travels or from his family and have never been published before. Yet others are true 'country' recipes and have never been published before.

For anyone serious about food and learning about cooking techniques and finding new recipes the 'Recipes of Africa' eBook represents an unrivalled source of recipes, based on the Celtnet Recipes of Africa website. Nothing like it has ever been printed before, either on-line or in print. It is an unique resource that you simply must have.

This is truly a cook's tour of an entire continent. Find out about the history and influences on Africa through its foods. You will find out about the Tagines of North Africa, the chilli-laden Soups of West Africa the vegetable and meat stews of Central Africa, the Asian-indluenced curries of East Africa and the multi-cultural cuisines of Southern Africa.

The recipes are given with variants and substitutions, where available, so that you can create the most delicious, spicy, hot, mouth-watering and tasty foods from a continent whose cuisine has been almost completely ignored by the world.

Learn to wow your friends and family by presenting them with an African and African-inspired banquet. Show them foods that they will love, but will never have heard of before.

African cuisine is also healthy. The carbohydrates used are light and not as starch-laden as Western Foods. Typical dishes also tend to be full of fish and greens but light on meat (which is used more as a flavouring than an ingredient). These dishes are truly healthy and you will find that an African diet will actively keep you healthy and help you to lose weight.

This eBook is the most comprehensive guide to African cuisine and recipes ever published. It should be a mainstay of everyone's recipe collection.
