Ruthiella That looks so delicious! 😋 1mo

Dilara 😍 This is making me hungry! 1mo

Tamra @Ruthiella I‘m looking forward to leftovers! 1mo

Tamra @Dilara you can buy the Xawaash spice blend online or it will be in an African grocery or likely in an international grocery. 😊 Very easy recipe to make. 1mo

Prepping for dinner tonight - Somali stew. The Xawaash spice mix is essential to Somali cuisine, though compared to Ethiopian Berbere ♥️ it has little heat. I‘ll be adjusting to our taste.😋

I absolutely loved flipping through this cookbook that covered several African countries. The photography was lovely and the stories of the women featured were life giving. All of the food looked great but I am most excited to try Rum with Berry Soda from Mozambique, Shaah Cadays (chai) from Somalia, and Chakalaka & Cheddar Braaibroodjies (grilled cheese) from S Africa. #LMPBC will mail this week!

A vibrant, lovely book about culture, food, and family. It features a selection of fulfilled women sharing what is special to them and how they describe their place in the world.
I saved quite a few recipes to try - they are all very approachable!

Such a cool cookbook. It introduced the grandmas who gave the recipes and interviewed them. It also gave background on the countries they came from.

I read this charming cookbook more like a travel guide or geography book. Interviews with and recipes from several grandmother's from 8 different East African nations that border the indian ocean.

Serendipity! I have the right books in my hands at the right moment.

What an amazing work - not just a cookbook but a cultural food anthology of sorts. The introduction is an absorbing narrative and the interviews with the bibis (grandmothers) are delightful. Each bibi picked her own recipes to share and exemplify accessible home cooking. In fact they specifically selected dishes that are easy to prepare. Beautiful photos too of course.

Tamra Bonus - all of the principle creators/contributors of the book are women. 4y

BookishBelle That‘s so cool! 4y
