5 out of 5 stars Wonderful cookbook. A major winner!   September 3, 2008
Laura H. Quaney
I have decided that I want cookbooks from different regions around the world. So I went to Amazon and found this cookbook. My husband was a little nervous about the cookbook but I have only had it for a short time but I have cooked many wonderful dishes and my husband is picking them faster than I can cook. My book is already looking worn.

I am not one to judge a book by it's cover but when I saw the women on the book cover dressed in authentic African garb, I thought the recipes would also be authentic. Then I noticed that some of the recipes said add a can of this and a can of that, I realized it was an "Americanized" North African "short cut" Rachel Ray Style cook book (not Yummo).
Not what I was looking for,a big dissapointment.

This book truelly accomplishes the West African style, specifically Nigerian style, of cooking. My husband and I have enjoyed cooking many of these recipes. I highly recommend this book for anyone wanting to experience true west african cooking.

I love the presentation of the recipes and dishes in this book of traditional african cuisine. I am an Igbo woman who was born in the U.S. and I wanted a book to guide me in making some of my favorite dishes from childhood. Food has a healing, therapeutic lulling quality to it and there is just nothing like HOME COOKIN... This is IT for me! Thank you Miss Dokpe for your excellent work!

Those of us who hanker after the authentic African taste we grew up with will be pleased with the recipes in the book. Although some of the recipes are labelled with slightly different names, and they may not be just as we knew them, the taste will take you back to good times of street food and full stomachs. The only better African cookbooks I know are "Wild Boar on the Kitchen Floor" and the "Crocodile Cookbook". I think they're both out of print.
