Reviewing The Groundnut Cookbook a contemporary African cookbook from the foodie trio behind the current pop-up banquet supperclub craze.
Not most familiar with West African cuisine? What about the cooking of East African cuisine? Baffled at why African food doesn't sit along site Chinese or Italian, and to why there are so few cook books in the shops and libraries? Well The Groundnut Cookbook published by Michael Joseph in the UK on the 2nd July 2015 is now available to order for yourself.
What are the top five west African foods?
If you have never heard of Palm Oil, it's a word that would do you good to remember. It's one of those words that will come back to haunt you in years to come. It will bite you in the ass when you think you've raised your kids right, survived the lies of politicians and saved the planet. Palm Oil could be your future or it could be the end of you, of us all....and I'm not joking either.
Right now Palm Oil is actually a topic of contention around the world. What to do or what not to do....is the question.
So what is all the fuss about?
For the next few weeks as we head into April, I will be discussing 'Palm Oil' to coincide with the 10th Anniversary of the end of the war in SL, along with Sierra Leone Independence. Think of the next month as The Palm Oil Month and we would love to get feedback on your views and the future.
As we start to settle ourselves into 2012, I cannot help but look back at how much has been achieved with westafricacooks. I have met a lot of inspiring people and hope to meet a lot more...alongside becoming a 'paid' African Food taster and critique. There are many who would like this job, but I am the one who gets to keep it!
During the next couple of months our readers can look forward to more restaurant reviews and interviews, a variety of recipe's, healthy tips to keep away Heart Disease and Diabetes and free copies of 'The Palm Oil Stain' to give away.
Congratulation Nadia on the launch of your book The Palm Oil Stain. The video of the launch party can be seen here.
