THE EAST AFRICAN COOKBOOK

BY SHEREEN JOG (STRUIK LIFESTYLE, R260)

This book reflects a cuisine that is modern and yet rooted in the traditional methods and tastes of East Africa. Fifth-generation Tanzanian Shereen Jog shares her recipes for delicious soups, salads, main meals and desserts. Bursting with the flavours of East African and Indian spices, these recipes will inspire everyone to cook mouthwatering meals for their family and friends. Shereen is known for her creativity as she experiments and plays with flavours, using the abundance of fresh organic produce and the influences of a multicultural environment to prepare dishes that reflect the traditions of Arab, Swahili, Indian and colonial dishes. The recipe selection is as contemporary as it is traditional, and the dishes are as healthy as they are
