East African, notably, Ethiopian, cuisine is perhaps the most well
known in the States. This volume illuminates West, southern, and
Central African cuisine as well to give students and other readers
a solid understanding of how the diverse African peoples grow,
cook, and eat food and how they celebrate special occasions and
ceremonies with special foods. Readers will also learn about
African history, religions, and ways of life plus how African and
American foodways are related. For example, cooking techniques such
as deep frying and ingredients such as peanuts, chili peppers,
okra, watermelon, and even cola were introduced to the United
States by sub-Sahara Africans who were brought as slaves. Africa is
often presented as a monolith, but this volume treats each region
in turn with representative groups and foodways presented in
manageable fashion, with a truer picture able to emerge. It is
noted that the boundaries of many countries are imposed, so that
food culture is more fluid in a region. Commonalities are also
presented in the basic format of a meal, with a starch with a sauce
or stew and vegetables and perhaps some protein, typically cooked
over a fire in a pot supported by three stones. Representative
recipes, a timeline, glossary, and evocative photos complete the
narrative.
