Book excerpt: The purpose of this cookbook 'Gourmet's Guide to Authentic African Cooking' is to introduce the art of Sierra Leone cooking to those interested in preparing and eating cuisine around the world. Hopefully, this book will also be used by Non-Sierra Leoneans as a source and guide for preparing foods which are common to Sierra Leoneans but also different and interesting to those seeking to learn the art of Sierra Leone Cookery. Gourmets will find this book fascinating while others will use this cookbook as a guide to traditional, Sierra Leone, African cooking. Great pains were taken to collect and prepare this cookbook with more than four hundred authentic, traditional, Sierra Leone, recipes. It is one of the largest in the world and the only true authentic, traditional, Sierra Leone, African cookbook. Most of these recipes have never been written or published. My grandmother and mother passed them down solely by word-of-mouth. At age eight, I learned to prepare real, authentic, traditional Sierra Leone meals by watching, helping and observing as my grandmother and mother felt the texture and tasted the food 'a pinch of this' and 'a pinch of that' and slow-cooked their meals at low temperature to achieve palatable, lip-smacking and nutritious meals. My passion for preparing authentic, traditional Sierra Leone dishes started at a young age while watching and assisting my grandmother and mother preparing meals from fresh, organic ingredients. Later, I decided to prepare these authentic, traditional Sierra Leone meals from quality, fresh produce. I have modified and transcribed these dishes committed to my memory in well-written and organized format to preserve, promote and share Sierra Leone's rich Cultural Heritage. Adults utilizing these meal-recipes will acquire lifelong cooking skills. In addition, they will be inspired to prepare delicious and healthy authentic, traditional Sierra Leone meals and will be able to pass on their lifelong cooking skills to future generations. Thank you for purchasing this cookbook. Now take your time to read through it and prepare your favorite and healthy traditional meals for your family and friends. Remember, once you have actually mastered this cookbook, the art of preparing exotic-flavored, palatable, delicious and nutritious authentic, traditional Sierra Leone meals will become yours. I wish you and your loved ones a good and hearty appetite!

Book excerpt: 2018 James Beard Foundation Book of the Year | 2018 James Beard Foundation Book Award Winner inWriting | Nominee for the 2018 Hurston/Wright Legacy Award in Nonfiction | #75 on The Root100 2018 A renowned culinary historian offers a fresh perspective on our most divisive cultural issue, race, in this illuminating memoir of Southern cuisine and food culture that traces his ancestry—both black and white—through food, from Africa to America and slavery to freedom. Southern food is integral to the American culinary tradition, yet the question of who "owns" it is one of the most provocative touch points in our ongoing struggles over race. In this unique memoir, culinary historian Michael W. Twitty takes readers to the white-hot center of this fight, tracing the roots of his own family and the charged politics surrounding the origins of soul food, barbecue, and all Southern cuisine. From the tobacco and rice farms of colonial times to plantation kitchens and backbreaking cotton fields, Twitty tells his family story through the foods that enabled his ancestors’ survival across three centuries. He sifts through stories, recipes, genetic tests, and historical documents, and travels from Civil War battlefields in Virginia to synagogues in Alabama to Black-owned organic farms in Georgia. As he takes us through his ancestral culinary history, Twitty suggests that healing may come from embracing the discomfort of the Southern past. Along the way, he reveals a truth that is more than skin deep—the power that food has to bring the kin of the enslaved and their former slaveholders to the table, where they can discover the real America together.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Guide to a West African Tradition The Art of Fufu is a fascinating and informative guide to fufu, one of the most delicious and beloved staple foods of West Africans. All fufu dishes consist of two parts--the prepared, cooked fufu (which has a dough-like consistency and is made by mixing a plant base with water) and a unique soup that accompanies it. The cooked fufu can be made from a variety of bases, such as yams, shredded cassava tubers, and cassava flour. After the fufu is cooked, it is rolled into small balls, which are then formed into a spoon shape with the hand. The soup is then scooped with the fufu, and the bite is swallowed whole. Just as there are many different types of fufu, there are many different types of soups. Part of the joy of fufu is discovering which flavors pair best together. This colorful book discusses popular ingredients used to make fufu and the soups that go along with it as well as methods of preparation for fufu. The Art of Fufu is sure to appeal to those interested in learning more about West Africa's food culture and one of its most cherished foods.
